Ice Cube Has Now Confirmed He Lost A $9 Million Movie Role For Refusing To Get The COVID-19 Vaccine
Last year it was alleged Ice Cube had turned down a movie role because he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and at the time, it was merely speculation. Now Cube is back to give his side. But knowing he turned down that much money for refusing to get a damn prick in the arm sounds about right for the man who famously screamed, “Fuck The Police!” way before it became popular. In any event, Cube is finally talking about it, and he is still standing on his belief to spread his message (and whatever else) to the world about not getting vaccinated.
Ice Cube Reportedly Dropped Out Of A Movie Called “Oh Hell No” Because He Refused To Get Vaccinated
Who’d have imagined a big tough OG like Ice Cube would be scared of a little prick. Yet, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Cube has walked away from a $9 million paycheck because he refused to comply with a request to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by producers of a film called Oh Hell No co-starring Jack Black. And just like that, a weary world goes into mourning for what was lost. Now we’ll never know what happens when “mayhem erupts between two friends, Sherman and Will, when Sherman falls in love with Will’s mother, much to Will’s disapproval.”(via Google) Alas, we’ll all just have to do our own research if we want to find out the truth.
John Legend Called Out “Your Former Favorite Rappers” At A Biden/Harris Rally
While performing at a campaign event supporting the Biden/Harris ticket in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania last night, John Legend took a moment to call Donald Trump’s Platinum Plan for Black America “nothing but fool’s gold” and then went in on “some of your former favorite rappers,” like Lil Wayne, for falling for that shit. John went on to say “The president isn’t strong, he’s a coward.” Ha! Goes to show what he knows. Would a coward call notorious gangster and all-around scary dude Lil Pump, “Little Pimp” TO HIS FACE in the same tone used to call a shy kitten over for a sip of milk? Because that’s just what the president did in front of a crowd of hundreds of unmasked supporters, so you tell me, who’s a coward now Mr. John Legend!? Lil Pump might be all of 4’10″ and 98 pounds soaking wet (76 lbs after his locks dry) but he’s earned his respect the hard way— on the mean streets of Copenhagen.
Today In Choo-Choo News: Lil Wayne Has Boarded The Trump Train
Well this is shocking. Who could have imagined that a universally revered and respected man who’s dedicated his life and career to selflessly fighting for civil rights and justice, sacrificing his own financial well-being in the process, and literally putting his life on the line is pursuit of these noble principals such as (*checks notes*) Lil Wayne, has endorsed Donald Trump. I can hear John Lewis now, wherever he may be – “WHHAT?!” Oh, wait sorry, that was Lil Jon. John Lewis is resting in power and wants nothing to do with this mess.
Ice Cube Explained To Bill Maher Why The N-Word Is Bad
Pundit of “edgy,” Bill Maher resumed hosting his HBO show Real Time last night. Bill was recently castigated by just about everyone and their nana for dropping the n-word.
Bill was hoping to show that he’s salvageable as a human being, so he had Ice Cube on as a guest last night. Ice declared that he was “cool” with Bill. So maybe Bill can get some sleep now. According to Pitchfork:
“I did a bad thing. For black folks, that word, I don’t care who you are, it’s caused pain. It doesn’t matter that it was not said in malice, it caused pain and that’s why I apologized.”
Ice Cube Would Like To Take Back His Comments About Being Robbed At The MTV Movie Awards
Before the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, Ice Cube tweeted that he was sure he and his Ride Along co-star Kevin Hart were going to take home a cheap-looking popcorn trophy for Best Onscreen Duo, even going so far as to say if they didn’t win, the whole thing was fixed. Really, Ice Cube? Of course it was fixed; it was fixed the second Paul Walker flew up to Heaven on a tank of NOS. But instead of practicing his runner-up pageant clap, Ice Cube prepared an acceptance speech, because he has ice cubes for brains.
Surely enough, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel won Best Onscreen Duo, and Ice Cube turned into Ice Cream: The Bitchy Pageant Queen, first by leaving halfway through the ceremony, then by telling USA Today that he and Hart were “robbed” and that Paul Walker and Vin Diesel only won out of “sympathy”. DUH! If anyone deserves our sympathy, it’s this man. But also duh because Paul Walker RIP and whatnot.
Eventually, Ice Cube stopped pouting long enough to realize that maybe he was a bit too quick with the Nancy Kerrigan act, and started back-pedalling on Twitter:
Re: The MTV Awards. I wasn't really mad we didn't win. So I would never diss the actors who won. Not even Paul Walker. Seriously people!

Re: The sympathy vote: We should honor people before they die. That's all. Shame on you "make something out of nothing" ass reporters. Smh

Re: Leaving early from the MTV Awards. They told me our catagory wasn't gonna be televised. So I left. Just promoting that RIDE ALONG DVD.

I’m willing to cut Ice Cube some slack because obviously no one’s told him that an MTV Movie Award isn’t a real award and that if he wants one so badly, he could probably buy one of Pauly Shore’s on eBay for $10. But at the very least he should know the hierarchy of award winning is Dead Person, then Old Person, Daniel Day Lewis, Actress In Ugly Drag, and then everyone else.
