AceShowbiz - Ice Cube won't let his fans control who he can work with. Having faced criticism over his new partnership with Elon Musk's X platform, the "Straight Outta Compton" actor took to social media to shut them up.
Cube clashed with his fans after he announced that BIG3, his popular 3-on-3 professional basketball league, will launch its seventh season on June 15. Fans have since questioned why it won't air on another platform.
"Why isn't the big3 on @rumblevideo ? Let's me it happen, I think the organization can come make a deal. @chrispavlovski," one person in particular asked. In response, the rapper declared, "Cause we're on X...better ask somebody."
This prompted another X (formerly Twitter) user to pen, "Love and respect Cube but his alignment with a white supremest is all we need to know." The user added, "I get it money matters so do you my guy. Just keep it 100 and don't Trojan horse for them. White Supremacy is who you are and represent. Enjoy!!"
The post didn't go unnoticed by Cube. Annoyed by the comment, the emcee fumed, "Shut yo b***h a** up! I ain't aligned with nothing, punk. I draw my own f**kin lines."
That aside, Cube is gearing up for new music. In September 2023, he confirmed that he has an album on the way called "Man Down". He told RAPstation, "I'm working on an album that hopefully I can finish in next couple of weeks and schedule to put it out... I'm digging what I'm doing. The name of the record is called Man Down, and, you know, it's a pretty good record. It like it. It's dope."
Cube went on to reflect on his career. "It's a blessing, really. For one, I made a promise to myself when I got in this business that I wouldn't let it change who I am as a person, so I was always willing to let the chips fall where they may and not worry about 'I can't do this or my career will be over' or 'if I do this, will this happen?' " he shared.
