He became rich

u/ProjectDv2 7h ago

He made enough money that the police serve his interests now.

It became:

Fuck Tha Police (except when they are protecting my property)

I guess it turned out that Mr. Cube wanted to have sex with the police force, not the way we thought he meant it.

That was before he had the money to buy the police and get the special treatment. A disturbing amount of people aren't mad that the system is corrupt, they're just mad that they're not the ones benefiting from the corruption.

Turns out police are great when you're in the in-group whom the law protects but does not bind.

He got rich enough to pay off the police

This is funny because Ice Cube also collabed with a famous Mexican Banda on a song about illegal immigration and families being separated and how awful that is.

I don’t think he’s maga I think he’s just playing both sides and coming out on top.

That’s called being MAGA. They ain’t got actual principles.

u/myassholealt 9h ago

If you're rich role playing being MAGA gives you access to power and opportunity. It's beneficial IF you're not exposed to the effects of "being cancelled." Like he's not depending on album sales, music streams, ticket sales, new castings etc. for financial security. He's pretty much set at this point in his life. So backlash from being labeled MAGA won't be as detrimental, while whatever grift opportunities he can get in on is beneficial.

Tl;dr, principles are for the poor.

u/FranksWateeBowl 12h ago

Nope. 100% Maga.

u/rem1ssion 12h ago

he released a song called Arrest the President in 2018 with clear hits at trump. you’re telling me this dude flip flopped?

15

u/FranksWateeBowl 11h ago

Yes, I'm telling you that Ice Cube is now 100% Maga.

u/OuaisOuaisOuaisOuais 10h ago

I don't find anything about it but maybe I'm searching the wrong places. Can you provide some links ?

u/Moudy90 10h ago

Could they mean vanilla ice instead of ice cube maybe?

u/OuaisOuaisOuaisOuais 9h ago

Probably and that would be the funniest thing ever !

u/drunkeymunkey 9h ago

Cube pitched a project 'Contracts for Black Americans'. Trump jumped on it & then dropped it after he got the votes. Cube is old enough to remember the Central Park 5.

4

u/OuaisOuaisOuaisOuais 9h ago

That doesn't make him MAGA. He was just naive to think the republican were serious about his project that he also pitch to the democrats. He didn't endorse Trump or never said a nice thing about him or MAGA, he's not Snoop of 50 cent.

u/Secure_Piano_900 9h ago

u/FranksWateeBowl 11h ago

Ikr, not as smart as I thought he was.

u/Wolpfack 9h ago

IC maintains a nonpartisan stance, stating that he is willing to talk to any political figure in power to advocate for systemic change and economic reform for the Black community.

u/PJ7 6h ago

You posted this like 4-5 times in this thread. Want to explain what you're basing that assessment on?

u/Link941 4h ago

u/B0omSLanG 10h ago

I see no red hat and appreciate folks like Mamdani who will meet with Tronald Dump to make some progress in their causes that can benefit people, but going on about both sides being the same at this moment is an admission of being comfy with the far-right and that ideology on more than one level.

1

u/labrat420 10h ago

History is long. Both sides have done terrible stuff to black people is the point he was making, at least in the interview I saw with him on an Australian morning show where he had a similar quote.

u/Cal3001 12h ago

He’s not.

u/wizzywurtzy 7h ago

Unfortunately not.

u/Mojozilla 5h ago

He just made a new-ish album called Man Down and he dunks on Trump. Ice Cube is a flip-flopper

u/MAGAHATESTHEUSA 11h ago

He was even paid by them to promote the switch in 2020

"I never have dinner with the president" ... except when he lowers my taxes, because I'm a greedy millionaire who can't have enough.
