CelebnMusic247.com reports Ice Cube recently made headlines for working with the Trump administration ahead of the 2020 presidential race, then Lil Wayne endorsed him over taxes which is all a sign of greed no matter how you look at it.
You can cut the bread and butter it on the inside or the outside, no matter which way you do it, it is still the same flavor when you eat it.
This leads us to Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden poked fun at the actor-rapper during the most recent Saturday Night Live cold open, Ice Cube fired back.
Cube tweeted on Sunday:
F**ck you SNL…trying to reduce me to greed.
???…fuck you SNL…trying to reduce me to greed. https://t.co/pObFAkOvcq

The cold open in question saw Carrey’s VP read Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, updated with a 2020 election twist. Appearing to warn the presidential candidate were Kate McKinnon’s Hilary Clinton and Fivethirtyeight’s Nate Silver (Mikey Day). Later in the sketch, Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd came on to the scene donning red “Make America Great Again” hats as Ice Cube and rapper Lil’ Wayne, respectively.
Carrey asks the actors’ musicians:
Why in the name that is holy would you be voting for Trump?
They reply:
Taxes.
Making both rappers look like utter fools and sellouts.
Thompson’s Ice Cube just makes the former NWA member look idiotic when he adds:
Plus if you got a platinum record, you could plan on him doing a photo-op with you.
The skit comes after The Barbershop and Are We There Yet? actor drew backlash after a senior advisor to Trump thanked Ice Cube on social media for working with the White House to discuss the needs of the Black community.
Cube explained that he was contacted by both parties about his Contract with Black America, he was faced with numerous negative and suspicious responses on social media.
Last week Ice Cube told Fox News’ Chris Wallace that he has not yet decided who to vote for, but expressed that he seeks to work with the winner to help the Black community.
The bottom line is Cube has always been an advocate for the black community, but the thought of him working with Trump, who is a known racist, makes everyone question Cube’s integrity and motives.
Why isn’t Cube mad at Trump Jr. for his photoshopped pic of him wearing a MAGA hat?
In October, Cube posted a video that said don’t kill the messenger:
There is a time to play your cards with the devil, but Trump is that devil who will linch you after smiling in your face.
