Nick Cannon is at his wit's end over his anti-Semitic comments and his apology for them -- he clearly feels he's in a no-win situation, and now some fans are concerned about his well being. "The Masked Singer" host let his frustrations out Thursday night, saying ... "I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn’t get any worse. Then I watched my own community turn on me and call me a sell-out for apologizing." He added ... "Goodnight. Enjoy Earth." An hour later, he followed that up, tweeting ... "Y'all can have...

Ice Cube Responds to Accusations of Anti-Semitism: ‘I’ve Been Telling My Truth’ By Aaron Bandler June 12, 2020 Rapper and actor Ice Cube, born O’Shea Jackson, responded to criticism of some of his recent social media posts being anti-Semitic, saying that he’s “been telling my truth.” Among the recent tweets in question include a tweet of a Star of David with a Black Cube of Saturn — which is a symbol for occult worship — and an image of six old white men with hooked noses playing a board game on top of African American men. Ice Cube also tweeted out praise...

Ice Cube has hit back at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, accusing the NBA star of being a Judas after he criticized the rapper and several other black celebrities for their anti-Semitic tweets which he called a 'troubling omen' for the Black Lives Matter movement. In a scathing column published in The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, Jabbar called out Ice Cube, NFL star DeSean Jackson and fellow NBA player Stephen Jackson for recent social media posts containing anti-Semitic messages, some of which promoted the controversial views of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Jabbar referred to a series of tweets by Ice Cube...

Nick Cannon was forced to issue a public apology over his anti-Semitic comments in order to keep his job as the host of The Mask Singer, DailyMail.com has learned. Fox confirmed on Wednesday Cannon will continue to host the show after the actor finally apologized to members of the Jewish community in a series of tweets. 'He is clear and remorseful that his words were wrong and lacked both understanding and context, and inadvertently promoted hate. This was important for us to observe,' the network said in a statement.

The Hollywood Reporter columnist calls out the hateful outbursts against Jews by Ice Cube, DeSean Jackson and others and explains how the muted response "perpetuates racism" and contributes to an overall "Apatholypse." Recent incidents of anti-Semitic tweets and posts from sports and entertainment celebrities are a very troubling omen for the future of the Black Lives Matter movement, but so too is the shocking lack of massive indignation. Given the New Woke-fulness in Hollywood and the sports world, we expected more passionate public outrage. What we got was a shrug of meh-rage. When reading the dark squishy entrails of popular...

Senator (Dr.) Rand Paul of Kentucky introduced or reintroduced two important police reform bills in the Senate in recent weeks–the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act (S. 3931) and the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act. With Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Sen. Paul reintroduced (first introduced in 2015) the bipartisan Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act to establish limitations and create greater transparency on the federal transfer of surplus military-grade equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies. This prohibition only applies to offensive equipment and does not prohibit the transfer of defensive equipment, such as body armor. “For...

Rapper and actor Ice Cube is claiming censorship over Twitter’s decision to lock him out of his account, saying that his brutal style of truth telling is the real reason the social media giant is punishing him. Ice Cube tweeted a screenshot of his Twitter notice, which alleges that the rapper violated copyright law but doesn’t specify the tweet in question. “Speak a ltttle [sic] truth and people lose their minds,” Ice Cube tweeted. “The censorship starts. Mr. Twitter don’t lock my account just because I dropping jewels on the people. That was fowl.”

Rapper Ice Cube has asked if Donald Trump could become the first U.S. president to nuke an American city after he pledged to employ military force if nationwide riots are not brought to an end. In an address made from the Rose Garden on Monday, Trump described the violent protests as “domestic acts of terror” that law enforcement must “dominate the streets” in order to quell. “If a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for...

Rapper and actor O'Shea Jackson, commonly known as Ice Cube, supported President Donald Trump's impeachment and removal from office. Cube recently said he "can't wait to see" Trump in handcuffs. So, the black rapper, who became rich and famous by attacking the country's "racist" criminal justice system, now cheers on criminal justice -- at least when it comes to Trump. But when it comes to how blacks have fared under Trump, Cube's objection to him becomes hard to fathom. Precoronavirus, blacks, under Trump, saw record lows in unemployment. Trump restored funding for historically black colleges and universities. He wants to...

Ice Cube appeared on Bill Maher's HBO show on Friday (June 9), where he addressed Maher for referring to himself as a "house n****r" in a previous episode. The veteran rapper got serious with Maher when he asked him, "What made you think it was ok to say that?" Cube went on to say that it's very hurtful to him anytime a white person says the n-word, even if he says they didn't mean it. He explained, “It’s like a knife, man. When I hear my homies say it, it don’t feel like venom. When I hear a white person...

Question to John Heilemann: what's your proof? On his With All Due Respect show this evening, interviewing Ice Cube of NWA, Heilemann flatly stated that the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Freddie Gray in Baltimore were instances of "police brutality." In the Brown case, the grand jury, which included three African-Americans, declined to bring an indictment against Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot Brown. And President Obama's Justice Department under then AG Eric Holder cleared Wilson of civil rights violations in the shooting. In Baltimore, the the only result to date has been a mistrial....

O’Shea Jackson Jr., 24, is receiving rave reviews for playing Ice Cube in the hit N.W.A. biopic “Straight Outta Compton.” You could say he was born to play the role, as he’s the real-life son of N.W.A. member, Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson. But the part wasn’t handed to him. To earn the role, Jackson went through a grueling two-year process that included constant auditions and working with three different acting coaches. “It’s all these things to build confidence within me,” Jackson told Entertainment Weekly about the process.  And though Cube was supportive of this son’s growth, as a...

WELLINGTON (AFP) – An extraordinary underground observatory for subatomic particles has been completed in a huge cube of ice one kilometre on each side deep under the South Pole, researchers said. Building the IceCube, the world's largest neutrino observatory, has taken a gruelling decade of work in the Antarctic tundra and will help scientists study space particles in the search for dark matter, invisible material that makes up most of the Universe's mass. The observatory, located 1,400 metres underground near the US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, cost more than 270 million dollars, according to the US National Science Foundation (NSF)....

Ice Cube Raps Schwarzenegger in New Album Ice Cube, aka O’Shea Jackson, used to be known chiefly as a rapper. But the performer has since appeared in many movies, including “Barbershop” and “Three Kings.” Apparently, Ice Cube doesn’t like the way fellow thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger is carrying out his governor duties. On his latest album, Ice Cube slams Schwarzenegger for engaging in self-promotion rather than focusing on poverty. The rapper-actor’s main reason for chewing out Arnold is because Arnold won the election. “He pisses me off just by the fact that he is the governor of California. That's enough,” Ice...
