Ice Cube Shoots Down Fake “Friday” Sequel Rumors

    Ice Cube took to Twitter Monday (August 22) to set the record straight about a suspicious Facebook account that was claiming to be run by Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.

    Several posts from the page show images of Jackson as Cube’s character, Craig, and comedian DC Young Fly as Chris Tucker’s character, Smokey, alluding to an upcoming installment of the Friday film series, but according to Cube, the claims are false. He wasted no time debunking the fraudulent Facebook account on Twitter, writing, “This is fake. My son doesn’t have a Facebook account. Can’t mess with a classic.”

    Cube went on to write in the next tweet, “We had a meeting. Can’t do Last Friday unless we do it right. Ball is New Line Cinema’s hands. Bat is in mine.”

    The most recent Friday movie was released in 2002, when Cube and Tucker (correction: it was just Cube who appeared in the sequels) appeared in Friday After Next. According to Jackson’s IMDB profile, the only film he has in the works is Ingrid Goes West with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen, while his pops is scheduled to be in the Scrooge story Humbug and Fist Fight starring Charlie Day, both due out in 2017.

    Check out the posts from the fake account below.

    1. i wouldnt mind a “last friday movie” but cube is right..it has to be done right..it must include all the characters from all the fridays as one big reunion

    2. Chris Tucker missed his moment. I’m not looking for Chris Tucker in no movie. Did you see Chris Tucker’s recent stand up? It was trash. Hopefully he has enough royalty’s and residuals to keep him afloat cuz that nigga is done. These fake Friday promos are legit tho.

    3. I don’t know which is most surprising: that these (otherwise great) covers are fake or that his son doesn’t have a Facebook account.

    4. Take Ice Cube’s album cover “Death Certificate”. Now, replace Ice Cube with a white man. Switch the dead body’s skin color to black. On the toetag, replace american flag with flag of africa. That would be seen racist. How come the original isn’t racist?

      1. Turn off the TV and read. Maybe you’d understand that the white body represented the presidential cabinet of the flag(America), which has oppressed young black males in your country for over 400 plus years.
