CNN canceled an interview with rap legend Ice Cube after a Trump aide revealed he was working with the Trump administration to develop a $500 billion investment in the Black community.
“So the POWERS that be cancelled my interview on @CuomoPrimeTime tonight,” the 51-year-old rapper-turned-actor tweeted to his 5.5 million followers on Thursday.
So the POWERS that be cancelled my interview on @CuomoPrimeTime tonight. I’ve actually been ban from @CNN for a few months so I was surprised they even asked. But it seems like they can’t handle the truth.

Ice Cube, born O’Shea Jackson, said he was surprised CNN even asked him for an interview.
“I’ve actually been ban from @CNN for a few months so I was surprised they even asked. But it seems like they can’t handle the truth.”
Trump top adviser Katrina Pierson took to Twitter on Wednesday to thank the legendary rapper for helping the Trump administration develop the “Platinum Plan.”
Trump plans to “Increase access to capital in Black communities by almost $500 billion” to be spent in various ways, including creating 3 million new jobs for the Black community and creating 500,000 new Black-owned businesses.
In another tweet, Ice Cube made it clear that he hasn’t endorsed anyone in the 2020 presidential elections.
“I haven’t endorsed anybody,” he tweeted, in response to a user who unearthed a 2016 tweet in which the rapper said he would “never endorse a mothaf–ka like Donald Trump.”
