In a surprising turn of events, Ice Cube and Tucker Carlson teamed up for an episode of Tucker’s show on Twitter, discussing a range of topics that included former President Obama, Black Lives Matter (BLM), COVID-19 vaccines, and more.
Cube expressed his initial hope when Obama was elected, proud of America for electing a Black man as president, but ultimately felt disappointed as he believed Obama, like previous presidents, did little to improve his life.
The conversation also delved into BLM, with Cube sharing his criticism that the organization didn’t bring meaningful change to the Black community he knows and loves, while Carlson’s voice-over and editing highlighted alleged financial misappropriation by BLM.
Interestingly, the discussion skipped over Cube’s iconic song “F**k Tha Police,” a bold critique of law enforcement, which Carlson is a strong advocate for.
The most cringe-worthy moment came when Carlson referred to Ice Cube as one of the “least obedient” celebrities in Hollywood, leading to a conversation about Cube’s decision not to get the COVID vaccine, a stance both men seemed to agree upon despite their differing perspectives.
