Ice Cube reveals how he lost once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is what he said

Popular rapper Ice Cube recently revealed during an interview with Tucker Carlson that Hollywood allegedly cost him a once-in-a-lifetime role worth nine million dollars because he refused to get vaccinated during COVID-19.

He disclosed that this decision had cost him a significant film role, likely referring to the comedy film "Oh Hell No," directed by Kitao Sakurai and produced by Sony. He was originally set to feature alongside Jack Black but was dropped from the cast at the last minute as Sony required all members of the cast and crew to be vaccinated for filming in Hawaii.

Ice Cube clarified that he did not want to be the poster child for the anti-vaccine movement; rather, he wanted to stand by his convictions and set an example for his children. He expressed concerns about the vaccine's rushed development, stating that he did not feel safe taking it.


The rapper also addressed a Saturday Night Live clip where he allegedly joked about the vaccine, emphasizing that he never told anyone not to get vaccinated publicly. He preferred to keep his vaccination status private and was upset when the news was leaked to the press.

Beyond discussing the Covid-19 vaccine, the conversation turned political, with Carlson asking Ice Cube about his support for any particular political figure. The rapper expressed his skepticism towards politicians, believing they have hidden agendas and listen to those who fund them. He mentioned his initial hope for significant changes during Barack Obama's presidency for Black America, but over the years, he felt not much had changed.

In the interview, Ice Cube also asked Carlson whether he was vaccinated, and the latter humorously stated he was not. They both shared concerns about the vaccine's safety and the potential consequences for those who receive it.
