Ice Cube tossed out a couple of interesting facts about his Amerikkka's Most Wanted track "Gangsta's Fairytale" during an IG Live session.
According to Cube, the track was originally for Eazy-E, but then they had their notorious N.W.A. falling out. He then explained how "Gangsta's Fairytale" lined the pockets of legendary children's TV personality, Mr. Rogers.
"I actually wrote this for Eazy-E," Cube explained. "But ya'll know what it is, we wasn't getting down at the time so I had to take it myself...It's a trip because off this song, Mr. Rogers sued us. He was mad cause we had the Mr. Rogers theme at the beginning of this sh*t. It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood and all that. The n***a sued us, and was getting five cents a record until we took that part off."
So if you remember Neighborhood of Make-Believe's ruler King Friday XIII's crown getting a little shinier around 1990, now you know why.
