Current Events > Ice Cube is anti-vax; got turned down for $9M movie role due to refusal

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ice Cube confirmed on a new episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast that he lost a $9 million acting role because of his refusal to get the COVID vaccine shot. Reports surfaced in Oct. 2021 that Cube was dropped from Sonys comedy Oh Hell No, directed by Bad Trip filmmaker Kitao Sakurai and co-starring Jack Black. Producers on the film reportedly requested all cast members be vaccinated in order to participate in the production, which at the time was planning to shoot in Hawaii during the winter.

I turned down a movie because I didnt want to get the motherfucking jab, Cube said, confirming the Oct. 2021 reports. I turned down $9 million. I didnt want get the jab. Fuck that jab. Fuck yall for trying to make me get it. I dont know how Hollywood feels about me right now.

When one of the podcast hosts suggested Cube leave Hollywood for streaming, Cube replied, Thats Hollywood thought. Theyre on some shit. But me too, Im on some shit too.

Would he leave Hollywood and make an independent production? Im working on it. Im hustling, Cube said. Got a lot of things up my sleeve.

Later in the interview, Cube clarified that he didnt turn down a movie because of his refusal to get the COVID shot, adding, Those motherfuckers didnt give it to me because I wouldnt get the shot. I didnt turn it down. They just wouldnt give it to me. The covid shot, the jabI didnt need it. I didnt catch that shit at all. Nothing. Fuck them. I didnt need that shit.

at least he didn't go the way of Meat Loaf.

Unfortunately, given the history in the U.S., Black people have good reason not to trust the medical community...

As if he needs this role, lmfao

what a dumbass

True but when all the rich white people and white politicians are getting the shot then it's probably safe to assume that it's safe.

This it right here. White people were getting the jab. So that should have put black people minds at ease. Now point blank Black Americans should not trust the Medical community at all. They don't have black people interest in mind and don't care about black people. However when the vac was in short supply rich white people were going to stores in black areas to get it .

Don't listen to this troll who defends Kanye, Bill Cosby, and OJ and is averse to his doctor telling him he needs to lose a fuckton of weight
