Tip “T.I.” Harris defended fellow rapper Ice Cube for sitting down with President Donald Trump to discuss his ambitious Contract with Black America.
Ice Cube, real name O’Shea Jackson, met with both political parties to discuss his plan for economic recovery for the Black community. Only Trump was willing to share his $500 billion plan with Jackson. The Biden camp told him they would get back to him after the election.
T.I. told Power 106 that people should “give Cube the benefit of his reputation.” He said only one party was willing to give Jackson a viable plan to develop businesses in the Black community.
“To add input to this initiative for the greater good of your people, and only one side responds? That’s not Cube’s fault. If we ain’t never known or seen or caught Cube on no bullsh*t – doing no tap dancing and bending over backwards for no white supremacist. Why you think he gon’ start right now 35, 40 years in? Why? You’ve got to give him the credit of his credibility. And if you ain’t never known him to be on bullsh*t before, why you gon’ just automatically put him in the mix of some bullsh*t now?”
T.I. also revealed that Polow Da Don told him that Trump and his team wanted to meet with him.
