Ice Cube Riles at Ye, Says He ‘Didn’t Put Batteries in His Back’ to Prompt ‘Antisemite Vibe'
12:20 GMT 19.10.2022 (Updated: 12:44 GMT 19.10.2022) Kanye West drew backlash over recent days for a slew of comments seen as antisemitic, leading him to be suspended from Instagram* and later Twitter. The rapper referenced Ice Cube multiple times, indicating he had been influenced by the gangsta rap musician.
Rapper O'Shea Jackson Sr., known professionally as Ice Cube, has vigorously refuted Kanye West’s claim he “influenced” his recent
slew of “antisemitic” rants on social media and in interviews.
After the American musician who now goes by the name of “Ye” intercepted his inflammatory statements several times with Ice Cube’s name, the Los Angeles native went on Twitter to deny playing any role in the “bulls***”.
The West Coast rap legend insisted he was “not antisemitic" and never had been.
In an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, which has since been taken down from online platforms, West is cited by media outlets as having referenced Cube and claimed that he had “really influenced” him to “get on this antisemite vibe”.
After Ice Cube's reaction on Twitter, many users on the social media platform recalled that the affronted rapper was accused in the Daily Beast in 2020 of a "long, disturbing history of anti-Semitism," tracing back to his 1991 song "No Vaseline," intercepted with “racial slurs.”
In 2015, Ice Cube expressed regret at including the word "Jew" in the song. In June 2020, when some of Ice Cube's Twitter posts triggered accusations of antisemitism, the rapper called himself "just pro-Black."
