Ice Cube Demands Retraction From Media Labeling Him ‘Anti-Semitic’

Ice Cube went on a Twitter tirade earlier this month in the wake the police killing George Floyd. The pioneering gangsta rapper, known for penning songs such as “Amerikkka’s Most Wanted” and “Arrest The President,” was firing f tweet after tweet in the name racial equality.

But amid his Twitter rampage, he was accused posting anti-Semitic propaganda. In fact, The Daily Beast ran an entire exposé about Cube’s alleged anti-Semitic past, which didn’t sit well with the N.W.A legend.

On Tuesday (June 30), Cube tweeted a screenshot recently filed cease-and-desist letter from Freedman & Taitelman Law Firm, which names writers Charlie Nash Mediaite and Marlow Stern The Daily Beast.

He wrote in the caption, “Don’t play with me. This is just phase one.” He also included a photo Stern and added, “This is Marlow Stern, the punk that’s out there pushing that poison.”

The letter firmly outlines Cube’s demands, which include an apology and a retraction. It specifically addresses a 2015 incident where Cube was accused assaulting a rabbi outside the MGM casino in Detroit for wearing a yarmulke, resulting in a $2 million lawsuit.

Cube took issue with both Nash and Stern’s mention the alleged incident in their respective articles and maintained his innocence.

“We are disgusted that you each recklessly chose to publish this garbage,” the letter reads. “Enough is enough. During this time national dialogue concerning the equality Black Americans, you each made a conscious choice to fan the flames hatred and division by repeating known, discredited lies and scurrilous claims.

“The idea Cube is anti-Semitic is laughable, as anyone who knows this man can attest … we hereby demand immediate retractions and an apology to Ice Cube for the damage already done to his reputation.”

What The Hell Is Going On With Ice Cube’s Twitter?

June 10, 2020

The situation spiraled into legal action after Stern injected himself into a recent Twitter conversation between Cube and CNN host Jake Tapper who had said Louis Farrakhan is ” a vile anti-LGBTQ anti-Semitic misogynist.”

After Cube told Tapper to “watch his mouth,” Stern hopped in the comment section, writing, “It is hard to give Ice Cube the benefit the doubt given the fact that his anti-Semitic activities have extended beyond the realm the internet. He’s an ardent supporter Louis Farrakhan, one the world’s most prominent anti-Semites, and, most troubling all, the rapper and actor was accused in May 2015 ordering his entourage to beat up a rabbi.”

Cube quickly addressed Stern’s claim on Twitter.

“The statement by Marlow Stern is a fuckin lie,” he wrote. “I never ordered my security to beat up anybody. Get your facts straight or I’ll see you in court you asshole.”
