Ice Cube was supposed to star in a comedy alongside Jack Black from Sony, but those plans have changed.
According to an article from The Hollywood Reporter on Friday (October 29), Ice Cube has allegedly left the upcoming film Oh Hell No after declining producers’ requests to get vaccinated.
Cube has been vocal in the past about wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as he handed out 2,000 face masks to use as personal protective equipment to Bacone College in Oklahoma, but it seems that’s the only protection he believes he needs.
Ice Cube’s personal representative and agency WME both declined to comment on the situation. No one else has said anything either, including the film’s producers Matt Tolmach and Jack Black. Cube is also walking away from a $9 million paycheck.
Jack Black and Ice Cube announced their partnership on the film in June. They were expected to begin shooting this winter in Hawaii with filmmaker Kitao Sakurai. The filmmaker directed the Netflix breakout comedy Bad Trip starring Eric André and Lil Rel Howery in 2021.
This isn’t the first film Cube has stepped down from this year. The West Coast rap legend was supposed to co-star in a boxing movie titled Flint Strong, but he is no longer attached to the film. There’s no word why Ice Cube left that movie.
Ice Cube has turned his successful time in Hip Hop into a prolific film career that many wish they could replicate. As a musician Ice Cube was known as a tough guy, but that perception changed once he hit the big screen. Ice Cube recently spoke to HipHopDX about using humor to get fans to see him as more than a rapper.
Ice Cube Credits ‘Are We There Yet?’ For Making Him Likeable To Mainstream America
“I think with doing the comedy movies, making people laugh,” he said. “From Friday to Barbershop to All About the Benjamins. When you make people laugh, they can’t hate on you. They got a special part in their heart for you ’cause you just made them laugh. Or they enjoyed something you did, or they enjoyed over and over and over again. What’s good about my movies, you can watch them over and over and over again… they kinda never really get old. So that’s really where it started.”
Big ups to ice cube! Y’all think Biden cares about black people!? Stand up now or all your rights willl be taken! Let’s go Brandon!
Yeah, big ups. Dont be a moron, get your fucking vaccine so we can put covid in the rear-view. All these clowns talking about, “I dont know what’s in that vaccine,” are the same ones eating fast food, drinking soda and smoking cigarettes. It’s too bad Cube doesn’t use his position to educate, rather than spread misinformation.
Keep the same temperature in a couple of years
What’s in the Vaccine?
What’s N the Vaccine ?
The vaccine doesn’t protect you from Covid-19, which is why you still wear your mask everywhere. Covid isn’t even deadly, 2% chance of dying if you get it, but go on parroting the TV you pea brain. Don’t get mad at people who can think for themselves. Before you say anything about “misinformation” you can find all of this on the CDC’s website yourself. Or just try the simple equation of # of Covid Deaths divided by total Covid cases, then multiply that by 100. It’s the same in the US, Canada, UK & worldwide… 2%. But have fun living in fear because the TV told you so! make sure to quadruple mask up when you sleep alone!
Sure dimwit lol just like the Smallpox vaccine didn’t work….and the Polio vaccine didn’t work. Keep believing your BS. Tell that to the 6 people I knew who all died of Covid…and the couple who on their deathbed wished they’d gotten vexed. Stupid is as stupid does as stupid believes. Hope stupid doesn’t die
So you really think Cube would walk away from a 9 Mill Bag just to spread “misinformation”?!? As others have already pointed out the true information is out there, it’s not just a bunch of conspiracy theorists. You sound like either a government or Big Pharma shill, most likely you’re just a stupid plant being used to roll out the usual propoganda. SMH. Poppa Clippin? More like Poppa Slippin’
Sorry, that was intended for Poppa Slippin’… Much respect for Cube. That’s a Dave Chappelle move, walking away from the big money because you have a moral and ethical spine and your soul is still in tact.
Moral and ethical is protecting yourself and others. The true information IS out there. Try digging beyond the non-credible truth that aligns with your thinking. That’s just “your” truth not “the” truth
Another shill. I’m not even going to waste my time with you, “pea brain” a phrase I learnt from another commenter. If you’re not a shill then you have no idea about true moral and ethical integrity so GTFOH
The big difference is people have the freedom and the liberty to do that; right or wrong. They aren’t being forced to. That’s what’s what half the country doesn’t seem to understand. Please tell me more about your knowledge of the Constitution you either don’t know, and/or hate.
Shut the fuck up bitch u dumbfuck sheep saying that same dumbass argument that dumbfucks do but can’t explain why 16k ppl dead from the shit on the vaers website and can’t explain why the countries with the highest vaccination rates got the most covid cases.go get your fucking booster and die phagget
Poppa Clippin
Poppa Slippin’
Poppa Shillin’
Drop a few bills in
Your account
And you’ll parrot
Anything.
Open your eyes
Wake up before
It’s too late
But maybe you
Already sold your soul
In thar case,
I guess it’s your fate.
Well said!
That well said was meant for Poppa Clippin…
I dont know how to work this chatroom stuff.
It’s amazing how black people living in America, the same country that ran the Tuskegee experiments, could possible trust the government when they say “Take this shot, it’s safe!!”.
Ice Cube knows what’s up. Too bad the peons will be crying and screaming about “misinformation” while they continually spread it themselves. That’s the real pandemic. Don’t forget Fauci & Friends funded the lab where the virus originated!
You, maam, are a mfing weirdo
The big bad NWA is scared of a vaccine. You disappoint me Cube. I expect that shit from young scary people, not OGs.
Actually to not question government pressure for a vaccine would be against everything NWA stood for.
Cube and I 1 in the same. Boff saw the vaccine and said oH hElLnO
FREEEDOM FLU FUCK UR CLOTSHOTS
9 M and to me he‘s still a lousy actor
That message was intended for Poppa SHILLin’ not you, this website comment system be a little f’d up.
Because fvck people around me and long live the pandemic? Sucka
scared old bitch. he’s always so damned miserable you’d think he’d be happy to kick the bucket. now if he was a happy dude maybe I’d understand his zest for life but all he shows us is misery and negativity
smart boi, dat no vax dat experimental gene-therapy… i’ll wait this out too.
Good
Cube doesn’t want the vaccine that’s his choice. But he can’t expect to be shooting a movie unvaccinated, just common sense. All movie productions are requiring actors to be vaxxed for safety reasons. He has his own production company, so he can have an unvaccinated set if he likes, although laws may prohibit that from taking place.
What laws a mandate is not law
Considering this virus has been around for 2 years now. there must be millions of people who have recovered from it and have natural immunity. Do all those people need to take an experimental jab too?
Its his right to decide what goes into his body. Worry about vaccinated people who won’t wear a mask that’s getting & passing covid knowing the shot isn’t a cure. Trump pushed guns, Biden pushing drugs. Worry bout homelessness, poverty cause that’s rich man problems
Covid has killed in 2 years more people in USA than AIDS in 40 years and Americans still don’t want to vaccinante themselves haha amazing.
Are you really comparing a life time disease to a virus that for most people will amount to nothing more than a cold? With drugs that have years of development? You’re a whole ass clown lol. I normally don’t punch down, but this has got to be the dumbest comment I’ve seen on this thread. If you want to get the vaccine, get the vaccine. It isn’t going to stop with 2 shots.
So if the vaccine is not way to stop the pandemic, what better option do you suggest sir? and please don’t say masking and social distancing, because that didn’t stop 600k from dying before the vaxx got here. I’m actually hoping you have a logical response, but I doubt that you can come up something that hasn’t already failed.
real baby ass
Well said Poppa Clippin!
Independent thinking black man! The media’s biggest fear! Quick get him back on the plantation by insulting him as much as possible!
Maaan i can’t wait to see cube accept his Herman Cain Award <3
