Ice Cube Confirms He Missed Out on Multimillion-Dollar Acting Gig Over COVID Shot

Rapper Ice Cube confirmed on Monday that he lost out on a multi-million dollar acting gig because he did not want to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

On a new episode of the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Ice Cube confirmed he wasn’t offered a $9 million acting job for refusing the shot, confirming previous reports that he was set to co-star in the comedy, “Oh Hell No,” with Jack Black.

The singer and actor was supposed to star opposite Jack Black in the comedy "Oh Hell No." However, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, he decided he would rather step away from the project than comply with a production mandate to get the vaccine.

The outlet reports that he initially agreed to be in "Oh Hell No" in June with the expectation that it would shoot this winter in Hawaii with Kitao Sakurai, the director behind Netflix’s recent hit comedy "Bad Trip." However, it’s worth noting that production on the film was reportedly pushed back as a result of an injury that Black suffered while filming a bit for the final episode of "Conan."

Sources told the outlet that by walking away from the film, Ice Cube turned his back on a $9 million payday. (Fox Business, Nov. 1, 2021)

Completely irrelevant to how dumb it is to refuse the shot and lose out on $9M.

OK, I’ll accept that he is a dumb rich guy.

Quit trying to change the subject. This thread is about a dumb, overcompensated, ‘artist’.

Well, since I posted it my intent was to display his refusal to get vaxxed as the point. Not his dumb overcompensated artist status. I don’t have his kind of money and didn’t lose out on a lucrative job because I decline to be injected with who knows what kind of liquid. Just sayin’.............

Offer him 5 bucks.

You've determined what he is - now you just have to negotiate on the price...

There no rule or TOS that says you can’t answer. It’s actually not off topic because they are discussing if they had covid or not.

You simply don’t want to answer. Why?

Why would you think that? I didn’t get the shot. I know that money is cold comfort in the middle of the night.

“I suspect your price is far less.”

LOL!

You got the vaccine for far less, and most likely got covid anyway!

Because Cpt John is a pedantic VFW REMF who shows up periodically to troll away. Ask him why he never rose above 03 in 22+ yrs.

If he solicits Elon correctly he may get his twitter account back.
