Rapper Ice Cube confirmed on Monday that he lost out on a multi-million dollar acting gig because he did not want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
On a new episode of the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Ice Cube confirmed he wasn’t offered a $9 million acting job for refusing the shot, confirming previous reports that he was set to co-star in the comedy, “Oh Hell No,” with Jack Black.
The singer and actor was supposed to star opposite Jack Black in the comedy "Oh Hell No." However, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, he decided he would rather step away from the project than comply with a production mandate to get the vaccine.
The outlet reports that he initially agreed to be in "Oh Hell No" in June with the expectation that it would shoot this winter in Hawaii with Kitao Sakurai, the director behind Netflix’s recent hit comedy "Bad Trip." However, it’s worth noting that production on the film was reportedly pushed back as a result of an injury that Black suffered while filming a bit for the final episode of "Conan."
Sources told the outlet that by walking away from the film, Ice Cube turned his back on a $9 million payday. (Fox Business, Nov. 1, 2021)

Missed out on millions, but lived to tell about it.
Rapper Ice Cube confirmed on Monday that he lost out on a nine-million dollar acting gig because he’s dumber than a rock.
Not having to be in a movie with Jack Black is worth losing 9 mil IMO.
Seen a few of his movies- they were mostly meh movies. Not a bad novice actor, but definately not a pro actor- just gotta keep that in mind when watching them, and allow for it, and the movies are OK.
Lol, yup. Jack black really gets into roles where the character is effeminate. Seems he relishes those roles
Smart choice, man..................
Ice Cube is worth over $150 million dollars. I’m sure he’s not sweating losing $9 million.
He confirmed that he is a man not a mouse. Can’t be bought. You confirm that you can be bought and your price, I guess, is $9M.
But, I like his making the point of “f” them for not offering him the role because he refused to buy the fauciism . 🔬😵🚫😷💉
I've seen him in a movie. He can't act. He's not an actor.
Just sayin'.
Black just straight up CAN’T act.
How he gets acting gigs at all is a mystery me.
Not like he’s alone in that. But no shot is good for me.
He’s worth 160, million. I hope he can survive on that little bit. but I kind of agree with you. He should’ve taken the damn shot what’s the big deal.
Have you had covid?
It’s called putting your money where your mouth is, not to mention adhering to principles. I would say more rock ribbed than alot of those faux conservatives claim to be.
He’s wi,Ling to act gay, so they flock to him
Cube is a much wiser man than most FReepers give him credit for.

We can start the bidding for me at $9M. I suspect your price is far less.
