Ice Cube found himself a trending Twitter topic on Wednesday (June 10) after he posted an onslaught of memes, one of which is allegedly anti-Semitic propaganda branded by a fake Russian media property.
According to the Daily Beast, the meme was created by “Black Matters,” a website and Facebook page claiming to be a non-profit news resource for black people. However, it was outed as a “Russian-run propaganda tool to manipulate Americans” years ago.
The meme features Egyptian pharaoh statues with their noses blown off. The text reads, “A rare early photo of statues before Europeans shot the noses off.” CNN explained it wasn’t the Europeans who did this, rather pharaohs would break the noses off the statues of their predecessors.
In another meme, Cube appeared to share an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory involving the image of the Black Cube of Saturn within the Star of David. The Black Cube of Saturn reportedly refers to a cult of Satan worshippers.
After the Daily Beast article ran, Cube appeared to issue a warning to the publication, tweeting, “MESSAGE TO THE BEAST: if you attack any of my family or seeds, i will attack your family and seeds.”
Cube’s cascade of tweets almost makes it look like he’s been hacked. Twitter can’t quite seem to figure out what to make of the sudden onslaught of conspiracy memes, but many people aren’t pleased. Others defended him and pointed out he’s been addressing the same issues for decades.
Since the police killing of 46-year-old black man George Floyd, Cube has been incredibly vocal about supporting Black Lives Matter. Floyd’s death seems to have really hit him hard. Earlier this month, he canceled an appearance on Good Morning America because he was “in no mood to tell America, good morning.”

This is what happens when your dad starts to know how to use smartphones. He’ll watch anything in youtube and believe everything’s real. Poor Gayce Cube, he was and is a west coast legend but he looks like a fool that digs internet conspiracies…
I honestly cant even fathom why you morons are always like oh it’s a youtube conspiracy you realize 9 times out of ten it is FACTS that are taken from news articles doctors professionals of various trades and you then go compare that information from youtube too what the mainstream news? That is 100 percent controlled you are completely asleep and braindead if you believe in the philosophy.
like your credentials are even better, you are lame internet troll, who is a nobody.
We need less white women writing hip hop articles.
Wtf i like ice cube now
The truth is anti semetic.
I love his music. He is in my top 3, but he is a bit of a clown when it comes to this sort of stuff.
Modern journalism at its best: low IQ wimp offering base-level lowkey outraged generic comment about what he’s been told to chastise, and compiling sarcastic tweets supporting his pseudo-righteous stance. Outta here until you grow a brain and a pair !
how can you repent when you aren’t even a christian? or catholic? for that matter.
Repenting is turning from law breaking and returning to the covenant of The Most High. Christianity is a sham.
Where do you get your facts. No Pharaoh disrespected there land or monuments. It was done by jealous Europeans. This has been known for years no Russia propaganda. Who wrote this very unprofessional
Bitch the pharoahs didnt do shit about a nose. Yall stay blaming “white” supremacy on us. Y’all blew blew tye noses off
I hope all black people start attacking joos everywhere violently.
Yup, I’ve been having this thought since the protests started, after the protests end, we’ll find out russian and chinese bots have been stirring up a lot of the online rhetoric.

Read up on what he’s saying. Do independent non bias research of your capable of it. Stop being a fucking idiot and failing for the bait. This shit is real and effects every single one of us. Were chattel we always have been. Doesn’t matter what color your skin is.
Lol… You’ll grow out of it one day.
No one for sure knows what happened to the nose on so many Egyptian statues. Historical evidence suggests they were chiseled off not shot, but as for who commissioned that act the jury is out. There are a lot of debates. My dad is into a lot of conspiracies like these. And I after I research any of them they usually don’t have much credibility. Hopefully Cube is doing his research… doesn’t seem like it though.
Anytime a religion or radical ideology tells you that your race is superior, your race is god, your race is the most powerful…you should definitely question that
I mean it sounds nice, they are telling you everything you wanna hear….
Nation of Islam is no different than Scientology
Talking crazy shit about scientists turning black people white to create demons and shit
Blacks/Negroes are Chosen People Of God and that can be proven with scripture that lines up with Historical evidence. We are witnessing Prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes
Genesis 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
What God?
sorry there is no such thing as black or negro, when you reference your lineage as a color which both are the same, you display your level of intellect also aspects of your knowledge of origin. We are people of melanin not black not negro. I am Middle Eastern Shem Assyrian, get it right brothers.
