Ice Cube is a multi-media mogul and (controversial) presidential advisor.
He almost wasn't any of those things because he let his anger get the better of him.
In an interview with Graham Bensinger, Cube claims that he almost killed a guy back in the day because he was a junkie who conned Cube's mom out of $20.
"Somebody I knew and went to school with -- who we knew was heavy on drugs -- had went around to my house and gave my mother some cockamamie story, so she gave him $20, and I was so mad," Ice Cube said. "You violated me and my family because you knew you wasn't ever going to give that $20 back. So, me and friends was going around the corner to kill him, and he wasn't home. Thank God. Thank God he wasn't home. We were young and we was mad and we had a weapon and it was going to happen."
