Ice Cube Is Not Happy With Kanye West Saying He Influenced His Anti-Semitic Talk

by Daryl Nelson

Ice Cube may be a fan of Kanye West's music but not the words he used during his recent Drink Champs interview.

Ye's visit to the show, which has since been deleted, has caused all kinds of controversy since he suggested that George Floyd wasn't really killed by ex-officer Derek Chauvin but by taking fentanyl. 

The GOOD Music founder also continued with his anti-Semitic talk during the interview and mentioned Cube.

“You know, Cube’s really set me up for this,” said Ye, who also claimed the West Coast rapper “really influenced” him to “get on this antisemite vibe.”

Here's what Ice Cube Tweeted about that.

I hate that my name was dragged into this Drunk Champs bullshit. I don’t know what Ye meant by his statements, you’re gonna have to ask him. I didn’t put the batteries in his back. Please leave my name out of all the antisemitic talk. I’m not antisemitic and never have been.
