Ice Cube has built a career on being as anti-establishment as it gets.
From his pioneering work with N.W.A and his seething “No Vaseline” diss track (where he proclaims “I never have dinner with the president”) to his more recent “Arrest The President” single, there hasn’t appeared to be a Republican-leaning bone in his body.
But this is 2020. On Wednesday (October 14), Cube became a trending Twitter topic after Donald Trump’s senior campaign advisor Katrina Pierson thanked the gangsta rap legend for allegedly assisting Trump develop “The Platinum Plan” via Twitter.
“Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan,” she wrote. “Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!”
Cube soon headed to Twitter to do some damage control, writing, “Facts: I put out the CWBA [Contract With Black America]. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.”
Despite Cube’s attempt at an explanation, it was too late — the damage was done. Twitter erupted with reactions to Cube’s perceived hypocrisy, especially since he just posted a video stating no president in the entire history of this country has ever done right by Black people.
Several people started recirculating an old tweet of Cube’s from 2016 in which he emphatically states, “I will never endorse a mothafucka like Donald Trump! EVER!!!” Again, 2020.
Check out the reactions below.
Sums up the stupidity of woke twitter.
Stupidity how? U provide no explanation other than “its stupid” he had a legit point but you on the other hand provide insults instead of providing your perspective.. seems to me like your the stupid one lol pretty easy to figure you out.. haha
Um…. Pretty sure he was on your side dude haha. seriously. wining the internet rite there
The platinum plan would be good for us blacks, thats why I don’t get into that woke BS, nothing will ever be good enough, now Ice Cube is a sellout for helping our people lol where sway?????
You aren’t black lmao
wow
Don’t see anything wrong with this.
Say what u want about 2020, but it keeps us guessing. Sometimes it’s bad and sometimes it’s hilarious. This is the latter.
Thank you Mr. cube! I don’t have to skip your songs on my Spotify playlist anymore. Wasn’t sure which way you were headed but if you went completely left on us I would have to delete.
I feel the same way also !!
I’m not Republican or Democrat, but for all of you clowning Cube for having dialogue with Trump…what’s the issue. Trump and Biden are the same racist white man. The only difference is Biden is not as open. Check his political history though…sooner or later black folks are gonna have to learn…your oppressor will NEVER have your best interests at heart. The only folks who can save us, is US. That STARTS with economics and ownership, not voting.
>I’m not Republican or Democrat
yeah I don’t believe you
“ Trump and Biden are the same racist white man. The only difference is Biden is not as open. Check his political history”
yeah about that… didn’t Trump say – during their first debate, the ‘shit show’ – that he [Biden] had said „FAR” more worse [read: racist] things than Trump ever said…?
hmm… interesting…
BUT NOW I ACTUALLY WANNA FUCKIN KNOW WHAT HE FUCKIN SAID [about Black people] THO!!!!!!!
Don’t forget education and family my brother. We need to work on what’s inside of us before we can be stronger on the outside. Use finesse like the Asians.
It’s been pretty easy to see that a lot of black celebrities rock with him from Charlamagne to Cube to Kanye to a few more. They’re rich. They send their kids to private schools. They don’t give a fuck about us the GOAT once upon a time rapped. Sad he didn’t know he was talking about black celebrities in the future and not just the folks he was rapping about in 1996. They hide it behind that both sides are bad nonsense when you already know who has been firmly against black people and has used it to mobilize poor white voters openly since 1968.
You as well
Guess Cube loves cops now too.
You’re an idiot
At least I’m not a bootlicker like you chump.
proud boys in the hood lol
SMH it’s crazy how black people really believe in the Democratic Party …idc for neither side but to believe in a party that introduced a bill that’s causing all the police brutality we have now ..you have to be sheep’s ..”Jamie Whitten” introduced it Clinton’s reformed it and took it to another level now they laugh in your face and make rap campaign ads and come to your cookouts uninvited smfh
Nah Dude, It ain’t crazy, what’s crazy is how a black man can believe that Trump is here to help him
Nah, what’s crazy is how a grown ass man believes he needs “help” from the government in the first place.
I also pour my milk before the cereal
Now I don’t give a damn about either party cause truth be told the International Khazar banking families/cartel run and control both sides of that political shit. People ain’t figured out yet that these politriccs are not working for their citizens they’re working for those Khazars over in London and Israel??? People are out of work, being evicted from apartments and homes, schools and shit closed down all of this plandemic Khazar virus. To hell with these politriccs the citizens need to have that goddamn Federal Reserve closed and start over and print debt free currency that’s bacced by silver and gold. And next is the American people should get rid of every Khazar here in America they are the problem.
People went at Steve Harvey too in 2016. Like it or not Trump is president and as such makes decisions that affect the whole country. How is working to make those decisions more beneficial to a group you’re a part of (for Cube the black community) a bad thing?
If you’re black and you want to know what’s really going on with with politics. Look up Afrisynergy news on YouTube. It seems like if I make real political comments im the boogie man and my comments are blocked.
So whats wrong with meeting with Trump. I’m sure the original black Panthers would have met with Trump. What happened to “I want to meet with the president, but will he meet me.?” I would get political on why I out my money on Trump but lt my comments keep getting banned. If you talk about real politics expect that.
Classic track from Still I Rise featuring Outlawz
Ice Cube stole my Pokémon card!
Bunch of black folks more Loyal to white folks who have never done anything form then to an actual agenda that benefits them. Sad
Joe Biden has been in politics 47 years….
Voting for Joe Biden won’t solve anything.
Joe Biden is even WORSE candidate than Hillary Clinton was.
was he and his family under siege by the government too?
It’s sad how people are so lost they can’t see the hypocrisy here. Any plan created by Trump can’t be nearly as great as his fans (who’re used to smoke being blown up their asses) say it is. Trump is a terrible habitual liar. Every move Trump makes is a bad move that only makes us weaker. He’s backed by the most ignorant and lowlife people possible because the man is a piece of garbage with a room temperature I.Q. People who want to see our downfall support Trump because they know he renders us pathetic. Trump hasn’t done one thing to better The States, but he’s done plenty of damage in four years. Anyone who allows such an unfit person to rule as their leader for eight years certainly deserves all the bad that comes with it. Unfortunately, there are plenty of others who are trying to do the right thing and don’t deserve to suffer the consequences of such incompetence. Trump advocates and their contradictory claim of patriotism is absurd. The man scoffs at his military and his people and only puts himself first. Even his equally mawkish and hokey money-grubbing family comes second in the mind of that megalomaniac.
Cry some more about it hoe.
oh you don’t actually know that do you.
The fact that you start with “everything Trump does makes us weaker” just shows how much you lack in critical thinking. I’m a Trump fan but I wouldn’t say “everything he does is good”, there is plenty I will criticize him for. You look just as dumb by saying that everything he does is bad. No dude, the media that panders to people that hate him spin everything he does as bad, because they know that their viewers will get mad and stop watching them if they give him credit, even when he deserves it. The right wing media does the same thing, but their fans generally are able to discern when Trump does something wrong. Grow up.
So all y’all rap fans actually are political commentators too? Damn!
Just because you listen to rap doesn’t mean you have to be a dumb fuck… damn.
If you interested in politics doesn‘t mean you’re smart…
Who/what do you listen to?
Everyone ridiculing cube on twitter and in these comments is an idiot. Learn the facts.
As black people we got to stop this. We act like we all are supposed to act and sound the same. What make us so great is that we are so diverse. As kanye said(and God I hate the fact that I’m agreeing with something Kanye said…) We all don’t have to be democrats. Though I don’t see how ANYONE could agree with anything Trump has done, I’m not going to criticize those who do.
Genius move by Katrina Pierson !!!! Cube was always very vocal against Trump by making him an accomplice, he has no credibility anymore…..thanks to all those ignorant twitter trolls……..LOL
The Farrakhan-types are idiots most of the time, but they seem to be more principled and just smarter overall than the BLM types.
If you black and you want a real political agenda look up Dr. Claud Anderson. Follow the powernonics principles. We have to stop voting based on identity politics. Low information people vote based on wether a person is the same race as then or if they like them. Smart people vote based on policies. Two main things blacks should focus on this election is Amnesty to illegal immigrants and globalism. Those two things affect the black community. I would go into detail but my comment will be banned.
both of those things are BAD for black Americans and Joe Biden and Democrats have promised amnesty and US citizenship to all ILLEGAL immigrants and to rejoin all globalists deals Trump withdrew USA from.
You’re worried about comment being banned is the funny part
Funny how every rapper back in the day and some of the biggest were quick to reference trump in their bars as a sign of their status and how much money they had and now he’s public enemy no.1. With all the hate towards him there is no way he should win the election but if he does it won’t be because he lost the votes in key states it’ll be those who have no problem with the status quo and don’t hit up the polls but complain every minute they get the chance.
trump wins pennsylvania and the deal is sealed.
Truth is every rapper back in the day and some of the biggest did not know Trump was a phony and had no money back then (either)
All this shows me is people are so stuck on the democratic plantation that they cant see what ice cubes saying
Reoublicians= listening now and adjusting to help
Democrats= yeah yeah vote us in then well talk.
People are so blinded.
Yep. I used to be a democrat voter for a long time. However the democratic party hasn’t done anything for black voters. Yet i’m supposed to keep voting democrat like I pick a sports team. Naw, i’m done. Its high time black folks start voting for people who are going to take our vote seriously. Democrats have done for everyone except us but we as black people are still supposed to vote democrat. If trump is going to utilize our vote and do something for us unlike Obama WHO DID NOTHING for black folks. Then that’s who i’m going to take a chance with him. Not Kamala Harris who went out of her way to lock up black men and Biden who enacted racist policies toward black people. The people who are attacking Ice cube are doing it because he is attacking their status quo which aka keeps them in money and a little position of power while the rest of the black community remains in shambles.
O’Shea dunbin sold out! Waaay before this …
BULLSHIT…..STOP IT
