In a new interview with Tucker Carlson, the former N.W.A rapper, opened up about how he doesn’t trust politicians and how much hasn’t changed in the world since Barack Obama was elected into office.
In the beginning of the clip you can hear Ice Cube explaining why he doesn’t give money to politicians. “Politicians have hidden agendas, they owe a lot of people a lot of favors and the more money you give them then the more you’re listened to.” He then goes on to speak on when Barack Obama became president and his first initial thought was “this guy is going to be the guy.”
“For the first time I felt proud that America took that step so that was a moment in time but then you look around and years go by and not much changed for people I know and people I care about you know at the end of the day it’s still the same results.”
Also during the interview Cube explained that he hasn’t got the covid 19 vaccine and doesn’t plan on getting it. As we previously reported, reports surfaced back in Oct. 2021 that the rapper and actor was dropped from the Sony comedy Oh Hell No and that producers on the film reportedly asked for all cast members to be vaccinated in order to participate in production. Filming was planned to take place in Hawaii.
“I turned down a movie because I didn’t want to get the motherf**king jab,” Cube said, in a new episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, confirming reports. “I turned down $9 million. I didn’t want to get the jab. F**k that jab. F**k ya’ll for trying to make me get it. I don’t know how Hollywood feels about me right now.”
Adding, “Those motherf**kers didn’t give it to me because I wouldn’t get the shot. I didn’t turn it down. They just wouldn’t give it to me. The covid shot, the jab…I didn’t need it. I didn’t catch that shit at all. Nothing. F**k them. I didn’t need that s*it.”
In 1989, Ice Cube left N.W.A due to creative and financial disputes and launched a successful solo career. His debut solo album, “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted” (1990), was well-received critically and commercially. He continued to release successful albums throughout the 1990s, including “Death Certificate” (1991) and “The Predator” (1992).
Apart from his music career, Ice Cube transitioned into acting and made a name for himself in Hollywood. Some of his notable acting roles include “Boyz n the Hood” (1991), “Friday” (1995), “Three Kings” (1999), and “Barbershop” (2002). He also starred in and produced the hit comedy film “Are We There Yet?” (2005) and its sequel.
