Ice Cube To Kanye West: 'Leave My Name Out Of All The Antisemitic Talk!'

Ice Cube is speaking up and clearing his name from Kanye West's anti-semitic scandal.

As you might know, the Yeezy founder has been on the wrong side of the world for a couple of weeks now and has been accused of spearheading hateful remarks toward Jews.

The rapper has been banned from social media platforms, Instagram and Twitter, but has doubled down on his anti-semitic remarks nevertheless. In a recent interview, Ye credited fellow rapper Ice Cube for putting him on the anti-semitic vibe, but the "Friday" actor is denying the accusation.

During Ye's controversial "Drink Champs" podcast, which has since been taken down, he opened up about the source of his self-described anti-semitism rhetoric and revealed it was Ice Cube. In his words,

"Cube’s really set me up for this. You’ve really influenced me to get on this antisemite vibe. I’m here to finish the job."

As expected, the Donda Academy founder didn't explain how Ice Cube inspired him, and neither did the hosts ask. However, in the past, the "Boyz N the Hood" actor has been previously accused of being anti-semitic on different occasions.

He has publicly backed the Nation Of Islam Minister, Louis Farrakhan, who a well-known anti-semite. Also, a string of social media posts about the 2020 election, which Ye ran for, was found controversial. When fans raised concerns about the memes the rapper, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, posted, he maintained that his account wasn't hacked.

"This is CUBE. My account has not been hacked. I speak for no organization. I only speak for the meek people of thee earth. We will not expect crumbles from your table. We have to power of almighty God backing us all over the earth. NO MORE TALKING. Repent," he wrote at the time.

Nevertheless, the 53-year-old California native is maintaining that he didn't lay the groundwork for Ye's recent harmful theatrics. In a tweet, he clapped back at the credit received, writing, "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."

Ice Cube continued, "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." Fans, however, weren't buying it in the comments as they reminded the rapper of his past woes.

Following the outrage from the public over Ye's ridiculous claims on "Drink Champs," including saying George Floyd died of drug-related issues, he appeared on Chris Cuomo’s “News Nation” TV program on Monday to explain his side.

However, he only made things worse. Ye defended his claims saying he couldn't be antisemite because he classifies himself as a Jew. He, however, shared that he was a victim of the Jewish underground media mafia.

"When I wore that White Lives Matter t-shirt, the Jewish underground media mafia already started attacking me," he lamented, saying they  canceled his "store" and "SoFi stadium shows." He also expressed that they were responsible for how the media portrayed him badly.

"They have the press saying on 78 outlets that when I was arguing with Pete Davidson and Trevor Noah, they called me an abuser for arguing with people about my ex-wife and my family, and when I get to see my kids and when I don’t," he shared. "And they just immediately disrespect me. They keep this crazy narrative going."

To worsen things in Ye’s mind, he told Cuomo, "They never call me a billionaire. We never talk about even one right here, Hey, tycoon, billionaire, visionary, inventor. These are never used."
