Ice Cube isn’t going anywhere.
On Monday, a tweet from X account @HoopsCrave went viral regarding Cube’s acting career.
HoopsCrave is, like many accounts on X, one that calls itself “parody” in its bio, has a name and logo similar to a more established account that shares news (PopCrave, in this case), and its posts are in the format of news headlines but are false, presumably intended as jokes.
“Ice Cube says he’s done with Hollywood: ‘They keep offering me the same angry Black man role,’” the account tweeted.
The rapper and actor quickly fired back. “Stop lying,” he wrote.
While HoopsCrave’s post was false, there is a reason it fooled many people, to the point where Ice Cube felt compelled to respond. One of the more recent films Cube starred in, 2025’s War of the Worlds, was critically panned and initially earned a zero-percent Rotten Tomatoes score. The flick has now climbed to a four-percent rating on the site.
Cube was named the worst actor at this year’s Razzies for his role in the Prime Video movie, which took home a total of five dishonors at the 46th Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture.
While he largely avoided promoting the film, Cube did reveal on a livestream with Kai Cenat that War of the Worlds was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a movie I did in 2020 during the pandemic,” Cube said in September. “We shot it in 15 days, and it was during the pandemic. So the director wasn’t in there. None of the actors was in there. This was the only way we could really shoot the movie.”
