Ice Cube Goes On Twitter Tirade, Accused Of Anti-Semitism
Ice Cube better check himself before he wrecks himself! If you haven’t noticed the rap star has been very outspoken on Twitter and social media amid the George Floyd protests, expressing animosity towards President Trump as well as police. But now the rap star is being accused of anti-Semitism and promoting conspiracy theories.
Problematic Tweets
On Wednesday (June 10) he posted the six-pointed Star of David, which is representative of the Jewish community. However, within the star is an outlined black cube. An additional image shows several black cubes, symbolic of the Black Cube of Saturn, which is an occult symbolism that is said to represent evil, darkness, war and conflict.

The former N.W.A member also posted a picture known to be an anti-Semitic mural showing Jews playing the game of Monopoly on the backs of people of color. The image contains the words, “All we have to do is stand up and their little game is over.”

In the caption, Cube wrote, “F–K THE NEW NORMAL UNTIL THEY FIX THE OLD NORMAL!”
Cube was informed that the imagery is anti-Semitic and he responded saying that his image was cropped and he gets along with people of all races. In a follow-up tweet, he expressed his concern about the table in the image.

The tweets have sparked much controversy and resulted in him trending on Twitter.

Ice Cube Has Always Been Woke
It’s unclear, however, what ignited the fire for these specific uploads but many on Twitter also pointed out that the former Westside Connection star has always been WOKE.
Y’all surprised at Ice Cube for his thoughts on what’s going on, but what should be spoken about is how he had to talk about the same things since he was 18, he’s in his 50’s now.
