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

Ice Cube found himself a trending Twitter topic on Wednesday (June 10) after he posted an onslaught memes, one which is allegedly anti-Semitic propaganda branded by a fake Russian media property.

According to the Daily Beast, the meme was created by “Black Matters,” a website and Facebook page claiming to be a non-prit news resource for black people. However, it was outed as a “Russian-run propaganda tool to manipulate Americans” years ago.

The meme features Egyptian pharaoh statues with their noses blown f. The text reads, “A rare early photo statues before Europeans shot the noses f.” CNN explained it wasn’t the Europeans who did this, rather pharaohs would break the noses f the statues their predecessors.

In another meme, Cube appeared to share an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory involving the image the Black Cube Saturn within the Star David. The Black Cube Saturn reportedly refers to a cult Satan worshippers.

After the Daily Beast article ran, Cube appeared to issue a warning to the publication, tweeting, “MESSAGE TO THE BEAST: if you attack any my family or seeds, i will attack your family and seeds.”

Cube’s cascade tweets almost makes it look like he’s been hacked. Twitter can’t quite seem to figure out what to make the sudden onslaught conspiracy memes, but many people aren’t pleased. Others defended him and pointed out he’s been addressing the same issues for decades.

Since the police killing 46-year-old black man George Floyd, Cube has been incredibly vocal about supporting Black Lives Matter. Floyd’s death seems to have really hit him hard. Earlier this month, he canceled an appearance on Good Morning America because he was “in no mood to tell America, good morning.”
