“Yeh, yeh, what’s up! It’s your homey, Ice Cube. I know a lot people been wondering, you know, where I’ve been. You know, um, I was real active before the election, talking about what’s needed, specifically for the Black
community. About 10 days or two weeks before the election, I pushed back, you know, all the way until pretty much until now because I just fell there was a lot of noise, a lot of poison, a lot of people with they own agendas, personal agendas, um, or party agendas. And, you know, they really wanted to attack me for what I was doing because it was outside of the line of what they was doing or what they believed need to be done.”Cube goes on to state that he has been working behind the scenes to rework his Contract With Black America (CWBA).
