Ice Cube is reportedly being sued over an audio clip he used for “On Them Pills,” one of 16 songs on 2018’s Everythang’s Corrupt.
According to AllHipHop, the audio snippet comes from a viral video featuring a deranged woman claiming she’s Jesus Christ. The problem? ViralHog claims they obtained the license to the video, copyrighted it and distributed the clip online.
ViralHog is accusing Cube of stealing the footage and illegally using :38 seconds of the Jesus clip in question for “On Them Pills.”

ViralHog reportedly said, “The videos marketability has been substantially impaired by on them pills,” since some fans associate the clip with the song. The company argues the :38 seconds the gangsta rap pioneer used on the song actually compromises “37 percent” of the entire viral video.
The company believes they missed out on revenue the video clip would have received from being associated with the N.W.A legend.
In addition to suing Cube, ViralHog is going after his production company Lench Mob Productions, producer Sparks The Trackman and Interscope.

Hope they get a nice payout from this thieving fake ass pos. Remember when Cube stole songs from Cypress Hill? Fat fucking thief

He can jack me off all day long…You Can Do It,Put Your Mouth Onto It.
Cube is top game and best in the rap world ain’t none higher. Nothing but respect and those that talk shit should get up and make there own money rather than being jealous of his talent..
They got way less revenue then they thought the video was worth, because there’s videos like these all over the place. This is nothing new. The truth is that if it hadn’t been for Ice Cube and this article, I would have never seen this videos. At least not any time soon.
Same here never seen this video till now. Cube I guess made this video better. And for the other guy at the bottom. Ice Cube is a beast in the rap game
Also the video recording didnt ask for permission to film her while rambling away. They claim they have it copywritten but i didnt hear it. The girls fam should be sueing them for publicizing her in the bad mental shes in. So they’er looking for a way to get paid
