Ice Cube Defends Decision To Do Business With Elon Musk: ‘I Ain’t Aligned With Nothing’

    Ice Cube swiftly addressed a fan’s accusation of being aligned with “white supremacists,” notably Elon Musk, following a recent update about The Big 3 League.

    On Thursday (March 22), the iconic West Coast rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to deliver highly anticipated news on the comeback of his 3-on-3 pro basketball league, which is set to kick off its seventh season on June 15th.

    Asked why the league isn’t on the streaming platform Rumble Video, Cube replied, “Cause we’re on X…better ask somebody.”

    The former N.W.A. rapper’s answer faced criticism from fans who questioned his decision to do business with X owner, Elon Musk — with whom he previously clashed with — casting doubt on Cube’s intentions.

    “I respect you’re responce [sic] but just look and see who Elon connects himself to and tell me I’m wrong. I still have respect for Cube, always will. However I’m not blind to his who he aligns with. I like the Big 3, Both things can be right at the same time,” wrote one fan.

    “Love and respect Cube but his alignment with a white supremest [sic] is all we need to know. 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!!,” a second comment reads.

    The remark seemingly references Musk’s friendships with figures like disgraced former president Donald Trump, Joe Rogan, and others assumed to be white supremacists.

    To which Ice Cube clapped back, “Shut yo bitch ass up! I ain’t aligned with nothing, punk. I draw my own fuckin lines.”

    Ahead of the Big 3’s new season, Cube extended an invitation to Shaquille O’Nealwhom he’s previously dubbed one of the greatest players of all time — to join the league, after the NBA superstar recently floated the idea of playing in the legends league.

    Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ice Cube wrote: “We got the contract ready for you, big fella. You got three months to get Diesel. You can eat all day in @thebig3 @SHAQ.”

    During a chat with former Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers on his Big podcast, Shaq toyed with the idea of hitting the court again, albeit with a hint of hesitation.

    “You think I can play in the Big 3?” he asked Chambers.

    To which the current Big 3 player replied: “Yeah, easily. I got the perfect spot for you too. Come over there with me and Mike Beasley. You ain’t gotta do nothing but stay in the paint.”

    Shaq continued: “You really think I could play? I thought about it. I just had hip surgery and I ain’t played since. I don’t think I can get back in that mood.”

    Shaq’s retirement from the NBA was 13 years ago, but his potential return to the court could be a game-changer for the Big 3. As the most iconic player, his presence would elevate the league, already boasting former stars like Joe Johnson, Rashard Lewis, and Jason Richardson.

    1. just have to make deals with whoever – Elon Musk is not a “white supremacist” that’s bs. However X is a trash site that gives aid and comfort to those kind of people that’s why I’m not on there. But if Cube can get some traction with X – that’s what it’s there for. If they made me an offer I’d consider it.

      1. Agreed. Like you, I think we should silence these movements so they’re forced to create underground and undetectable movements. So Much better that way, rigghhhhtttt? F censorship. Mobe to China you commie bastard.

      2. He actually just settled a lawsuit for discrimination with his black employees at Tesla. He co-signs white supremacy every chance he gets. If he’s not a white supremacist, what in the fuck is it? Maybe you’re going to tell me white supremacy doesn’t exist anymore, lol.

      3. You are a fuckan idiot if you think Elon is a white supremacist if he was why would he help my country of South Africa with getting monthly salary donations. He has never said or did anything to black people unlike your hero Biden. Slave minded piece of shit.

    2. These “white supremacist” fearmongering tactics are getting destroyed. More and more people wake up to this crap and not buying it. Yeah there’s lots of that type on X but for the most part, they’re focused on the same group that Kanye called out last year and got “canceled” for. Both whites and blacks have a common enemy that wants them divided, once the bickering about “white supremacy” and forced corporate diversity stops, maybe there can be progress made. Good on Cube for moving past that. Fear is their main weapon and they hate to see black people waking up to see the real enemy who is exploiting them.

      1. man shut up – this is why dudes giving Cube a hard time being on there with Big 3 to being with. bad faith clowns like you – just fuck off and ‘splain the world somewhere else like a local freeway

      2. Only braindead people are giving Cube a hard time (prolly the same morons who get mad at him for not taking the jab). He’s always been a real one and this era of virtue signalling clowns don’t know shit. These are things that black icons like Malcolm X and Farrakhan have also talked about, but go ahead and stay on the plantation if you want.

      3. stfu with your black icons bs – you’re a hitlure lover trying to spread misinfo about politics you’re not on my side and never were

      4. Easy way to spot a white supremacist playing black online. Use some slave imagery because you think it isn’t a big deal. For white people, saying stupid shit like that isn’t.

    3. be nice if this stupid site didn’t randomly replace words. “Though” becoming “Thought”? “Begin” turns into being? Fix your shit

    4. The unfortunate part of this is that, while i don’t agree with everything Elon (or Cube) does, I do understand that you have to get out of your personal feelings when it comes to business, just understand your own moral boundaries.

      1. Aligning with white supremacists isn’t getting out of your feelings for business. Would you break bread with a pedophile?

      2. Are you referring to Elon as being white supremist? Why would. White supremist to business with a pro-black rapper? Can I ask you that? Want to get real with this?

      3. An NFL owner actually said we can’t have the prisoners running the asylum to refer to his players. One of LeBron James’ top business partners was caught on a secret recording saying all of this woke shit is annoying. White people make money with black people that they detest all the time. Looks like your hoe ass ought to stop asking stupid questions that you already know the answer to.

      4. Ice Cube is the owner tho? Helping black owned businesses is now racist but giving eulogies at klu kuck klan funerals is fine

      5. Oh yea, because billionaires like Musk “help” people all the time- yo stfu. He’s in it for his own profit, that’s it. Thats how billionaires become billionaires, by exploiting people

    5. He has also “aligned” himself with Trump. And Snoop. Funny Cube wrote a song “Arrest the President” now sits at his table. Loved Cube, heartbroken he sold out.

      1. Right i meam eolon musk giving more power & influence to black people & big3. Win win for all people especially black people lime Ice Cube.
        Only a racist would help empower black people.
        Non racist likr Biden they pass laws that target black people, gives eulogies at OG klansmen funerals, & is passing laws to disarm Americans & take away free speech, also didnt want to allow u to go to church . but elon musk & trump are dangerous for black people right

      2. @popimp – I see you like to regurgitate misinformation. 1. Name one law passed that targets black people? The bill that was passed in 2023 is for Economic Opportunities for black families and communities. 2. Biden didn’t give a eulogy for David Byrd, who was a REFORMED klansman and even the NAACP acknowledged him for his personal transformation that went from KKK to fighting for civil rights. 3. The only gun laws that would “disarm” Americans is for people convicted of domestic abuse, the Red Flag laws (for people who’ve shown a history of being a threat to themselves or others), and expanded background checks. Making it more difficult to obtain a gun for people that can’t pass a background check is a good thing. 4. Also, what free speech have you lost? None, zero, zip… if free speech was attacked, they would go after news organizations first, and last I checked, Fox News is still spreading misinformation and hasn’t been shut down. Any other bullshit you care to debate?

    6. The Big Three got funded through a white supremacist, so Cube been in bed with them. He sold out a long time ago. Some dudes don’t care as long as they can go home to the gated communities with the money they make with them.

    7. I didn’t know white supremacist’s spread their racism by working and making money with black businesses.

      1. Whole country is built on white supremacists making money off of black people. What do you think professional sports is? Hell, all of these entertainers you’re reading about on this site? Are you that stupid that you don’t know this?

      2. You guys are literally the most pathetic race of all earth lol it’s so sad to watch your woman like mentality

    8. The comments section is crazy lol. Everything is white this white that lol. What a bunch of weak individuals. No wonder people lose in life. Stay pointing fingers at everything but yourselves. I don’t care what colour you are. If you fail it’s on you and your poor choices in life.

      1. If amerikkka was a level playing field then what you say would apply. You and only you is the one for your bad choices is gibberish if you’re black, because choices are made for you for the most part.

    9. Daaaaamn!!!!!!!!!!! This is some weak logic here. No respect and we see that money talks, so go sell yourself to the highest bidder and watch your inevitable demise!

    10. As Elon Musk & Donald Trump’s actions prove they are not white supremacists. Ig helping Ice Cube get more powerful with big3.
      Brain washed peabrains think Joe Biden is cool although he gives eulogies at OG real klansmen funerals & been 1 of most openly racist politicians in his policies & comments.

    11. they allpartnering with de vils instead of building they own thing this many years in is sad but hey depending in the check id market for sca mmers too i suppose

      Is the monies and celebrity status of the world’s richest man and bigot something that you include in your business? I guess so, “money is more important than allegiance to Black folks, eh? Guess so………….
