Ice Cube has been on a roll with his social media presence as of late. He has been sharing plenty of messages throughout the day about the current climate of the world but everything got a little muddy when he began posting messages that support a popular anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
The rapper responded to the controversy about his "Black Cube of Saturn" posts, claiming that he did not get hacked and he stands by everything he puts online.
"This is CUBE. My account has not been hacked. I speak for no organization. I only speak for the meek people of thee earth," he wrote. "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."
The incident had hi trending for much of the day, leading Michael Rapaport to share his opinion. The often controversial actor backed up the legendary rapper, claiming that he's far from anti-Semitic.
"Yo @icecube ain't Anti-Semetic. He's anti-asshole. Let the OG Disruptor Disrupt," said Rapaport.
Ice Cube responded to him, co-signing the message.
"Someone who actually knows me," wrote Cube, linking to the message.
Ice Cube has been spreading some real-ass posts on social media. These ones didn't hit with a wide audience but we expect him to get back on a hot streak sooner rather than later.
Michael Rapaport Blasts Kim Kardashian Over Taylor Swift Drama
Michael Rapaport is known for his expletive-riddled rants that he shares with social media, and this time he’s taken aim at the “f*cking lunatic Kardashians.”
Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift were doing just fine on their own with their recent internet spat, but Michael Rapaport just couldn’t hold back on adding his two cents. Recently, the past rift between Kanye West and Swift once again reared its ugly head. The full video of their discussion about his single “Famous” hit the streets, causing Kim and Swift to engage in a war of words on social media.

Kim told the singer “nobody cares” about the controversy any more while Swift, along with her manager, accused the reality star of doctoring previous videos. Soon after, Rapaport shared a video of himself bashing Kim and everything she stands for. “No one cares, okay. Nobody gives a f*ck about this bullsh*t with you and Taylor Swift,” he said. “Or f*cking kooky Kanye and Taylor f*cking Swift—if he never ran up there and took the award from Swifty, we still wouldn’t be talkin’ about it. The only one still talkin’ about it is you.”
The actor then accused Kim of brining this up because “your f*cking show is premiering Thursday.” Rapaport also challenged Kanye to run up on a man the next time he wants to interrupt an award speech. “Do it to the Wu-Tang Clan,” he said. “Or do it to one of those dudes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They’ll f*ckin’ dropkick him off the f*cking stage. F*cking lunatic Kardashians.” Watch the clip below.
Michael Rapaport Loses It Recalling Being Labeled Racist Over Fake Kenya Moore Photo
His ire was felt.
Movie star Michael Rapaport is often unfiltered. The entertainer doesn’t believe in censoring his thoughts for anyone, and in our social media-driven culture, Rapaport’s comments regularly find themselves as the subject of headlines. During the actor’s recent visit to People’s Party with Talib Kweli, Rapaport took the time to speak openly about his controversies, including his internet war with Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Kenya Moore and the alleged doctored racist photo that was attributed to him.

In 2018, Rapaport made a comment about Kenya having “ashy ankles” while they were trading verbal insults on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. People called his remark racist, and soon an alleged screenshot from Rapaport’s Instagram surfaced. It showed a side-by-side photo of Kenya with a screaming ape and Rapaport became the racist villain of the internet.
However, according to Rapaport, the picture was a fake. Kweli’s People’s Party co-host Jasmin Leigh attempted to call him out on it, but Rapaport wasn’t having it because he said it was a lie. “It is f*cked up. You know that place, The Root?” he asked regarding the publication. The Root shared a scathing report about the actor at the time titled, “The Worst Type of White Man.”
“I told them they could suck my f*ckin’ d*ck, too,” Rapaport angrily said. “You’re trying to make it seem like I f*ckin’ posted a picture of a black woman next to an ape? Suck my f*ckin’ d*ck! And you might have ashy ankles, too!… When people are trying to come at you like the way this bullsh*t publication The Root… whether they photoshopped it they didn’t [photoshop it], suck my f*ckin’ d*ck.” The discussion begins around the 1:15:00 mark.
Talib Kweli & Michael Rapaport Debate Use Of The N-Word: "Why At This Point?"
The age-old debate is discussed between a veteran rapper, a comedian and a controversial social commentator who you may have seen in a few films.
Veteran actor and social commentator Michael Rapaport has a lot of opinions about everything, whether he’s beefing with Kodak Black, backtracking on his beef with Meek Mill, age-shaming Ariana Grande, blasting Drake’s singing on Scorpion, or just questioning Lil Xan’s overall upbringing — oh, and that’s just scratching the surface! However, his latest stance on a controversial subject while visiting Talib Kweli‘s People’s Party podcast on UPROXX might just have people on his side this time around.
Talib and co-host Jasmin Leigh discussed a handful of topics with Rapaport, including cancel culture, his A Tribe Called Quest film and that “ashy ankles” controversy with Kenya Moore amongst other things. Things really got interesting though when it came to the use of the N-word, which the Higher Learning star questioned Kweli on why he and other rappers, specifically past guest The Game, still use it at this point in history. “You’re known as a wordsmith,” Rapaport assured Kweli, continuing by adding, “but I’m like, ‘Why is Kwe—N,N,N,N,N—at this point?'” The conversation leads both Talib and Jasmin to break down why the word is used in black culture and how, simply, those who aren’t African American should be careful with how they introduce their opinions on the N-word conversation as to not be “harmful by mistake.” The conversation spans for a little over two hours, so it’s definitely worth watching to get a better context of the entire discussion.
