In a recent online exchange, former N.W.A rapper, Ice Cube, didn’t hold back when responding to a meme posted by Elon Musk, the head of X (formerly Twitter). Musk’s meme humorously juxtaposed a photo of Ice Cube with an image of a half-filled glass of water, accompanied by the caption, “Remember Ice Cube? This is him now, feel old yet?”
While Musk’s intention behind the meme remains unclear, it could be interpreted as a reference to Ice Cube’s transition from his earlier hardcore rap image to his later family-friendly roles in Hollywood, including films like “Are We There Yet?”
However, Cube didn’t take this lightly and delivered a witty retort a few hours later. His own meme read, “Remember Twitter? This is it now, feel stupid yet?” This post featured the old Twitter logo alongside an image of a literal dumpster fire, humorously highlighting the platform’s controversial moments.
Interestingly, both Ice Cube and Elon Musk have faced criticism for sharing content on social media that includes anti-Semitic sentiments and conspiracy theories. This incident adds a new chapter to their online personas and interactions.
