Ice Cube Clarifies His Stance: “I’m Not Supporting Donald Trump”

Ice Cube’s faced much backlash in the past week. Revealing that he had apparently worked with Trump’s campaign to implement elements of the Contract With Black America into the Platinum Plan, Cube faced a barrage of criticism within the Black community for working with Trump. Though he’s denied that he’s working with Trump, and said that the Democrats never actually got back to him, the damage of being associated with Donald Trump was done.
Cube sat down with Hot 97 where he clarified his stance on the current administration as well as what actually went down. The rapper explained that the Democrats did seem interested after his appearance on April Ryan, though they never properly followed up. Meanwhile, the Trump administration contacted him after the contract went public. “People can always add to it. It’s not my contract. I believe it’s out contract,” he said.

The tweet from Trump staffer Katrina Pierson is what seemed off about Ice Cube’s involvement. The rapper explained that he told them “no one’s gonna believe you unless you do something” which is probably what sparked Pierson’s tweet. “You know, to me it’s politics,” Cube said. “Of course, it’s a little shady because it was misleading, but it’s politics.”
Unlike 50 Cent, Cube took a firm stance on Donald Trump’s alignment with white supremacist groups. When he was asked about whether he would support Donald Trump, Cube said, “I’m not supporting Donald Trump.” However, he also made it clear that he wasn’t just about to give his vote to the Democratic party, claiming he’s a “real true undecided voter,” even though that’s the party he’s voted for in every single election.
“White supremacy do turn me off, but it’s everywhere, and it’s on both sides of the aisle,” he said. “That’s just the reality that we live in, and I’m not naive to that. We’re engulfed in white supremacy, so that’s just something we’re gonna have to fight our way out of.”
Ice Cube’s recent involvement in the Trump Platinum Plan found him slowly being used by members of the Republican party, including Trump’s son, who shared a photoshopped image of 50 Cent and Ice Cube wearing fake Trump hats.

Outrage Erupts After DJ Akademiks Affiliated Account Compares Drake to Emmett Till

The ongoing rivalry between famous rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar has stirred up a lot of discussions, but one recent comparison went too far for many people. An account linked to DJ Akademiks made a controversial comment, comparing Drake’s current disputes with Kendrick to the tragic history of Emmett Till, a young African American boy who was murdered in 1955 in a racially motivated hate crime. Many on the internet quickly reacted, deeming this comparison reckless and deeply offensive. As the conflict between these two artists heats up, fans’ emotions run high, and debates have taken on a life of their own. Supporters on both sides are making wild claims to defend their favorite artist.
Even comedian Conan O’Brien got in on the action, joking at the Oscars that, at some point, Kendrick would call Drake a “pedophile.” This joke upset some people in Drake’s camp, but the backlash from the earlier tweet was much more intense. Many fans expressed their outrage, criticizing the account for such an extreme comparison. Emmett Till’s murder was a horrific incident that helped ignite the civil rights movement and highlighted the racial injustices in America. For many, equating such a tragic event with a dispute between two rappers felt utterly ridiculous. People emphasized that experiencing diss tracks in music is nowhere near comparable to an act of racial violence.
It’s important to mention that while this account is associated with DJ Akademiks, he doesn’t directly control it. This distinction has been pointed out before, especially as tensions have risen in the feud between Kendrick and Drake. Nevertheless, the damage was done, and the tweet highlighted how online fan culture can quickly become problematic. Though rap rivalries often involve strong statements and heated emotions, there’s a thin line between passionate debate and insensitivity. The reaction to this comparison shows that not every argument in hip-hop should be aimed at shocking people. In a rivalry as significant as this one, fans should remember there’s always room for respect, even when things get intense.

Ray J’s Security Guard Clashes with Viral Star Aaron The Plumber

Ray J is no stranger to drama, and recently, it all unfolded at his own home, even though he wasn’t directly involved. A wild scene erupted when his security guard spat on a well known reality star, Aaron The Plumber (whose real name is Aaron Sloan and is also called “The Biggest Turtle”). This altercation happened during a heated moment over something as simple as a phone charger. According to a voice message about the incident, things escalated because Aaron had been drinking, which made the situation more volatile.
Surprisingly, Ray J wasn’t present when this incident occurred, which has left many people questioning whether he knew anything about it happening in his home. Even without being there, Ray J’s name is still connected to the drama since it all took place at his place. He has faced his share of conflicts lately. For example, he recently looked back on a past argument with rapper Kodak Black, acknowledging that he could have handled things better and admitting his previous behavior wasn’t great. He’s trying to be more thoughtful about picking his battles, but the same can’t be said for the people around him.
As for Aaron The Plumber, he’s used to being in the spotlight, so this latest incident is just another chapter in his life as a reality TV star. Whether the fight was a big deal or just blown out of proportion, it’s attracting a lot of attention, and social media is buzzing about it. Meanwhile, Ray J probably has bigger issues on his mind. With ongoing disputes on social media, industry pressures, and reflections on his past fights, a drunken argument over a charger is likely low on his list of concerns. For now, fans wonder if Ray J will speak out about this latest drama or let it fade away like so many other celebrity squabbles.
