Ice Cube accused of being antisemitic 

Ice Cube, known for his controversial track 'No Vaseline' targeting NWA group members and manager Jerry Heller, found himself at the center of a different kind of controversy on X.

Back in June 2020, Cube faced criticism for sharing several posts and images with antisemitic undertones, per The Daily Beast.

In response, the rapper defended his actions, asserting that he was merely expressing pro-Black sentiments and truths while denying any antisemitic intentions behind his posts.

In 2022, after Musk acquired Twitter, Cube called upon the billionaire to address what he perceived as a "shadow ban" on his account.
