Ice Cube speaks about Oprah

Postby baller4life » May 29th, '06, 23:37

First it was Ludacris who felt slighted by Oprah Winfrey. Then 50 Cent told the press that he could care less about her. Now, Ice Cube is the MC pointing his finger at the talk show mogul.

"I've been involved in three projects pitched to her (Winfrey), but I've never been asked to participate," Cube tells FHM magazine in its July issue, on newsstands June 6. "For 'Barbershop,' she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn't invited. Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop.

"She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"


The hip hop outcry against Winfrey came after Ludacris claimed she was unfair to him, when he appeared alongside his Crash movie co-stars during an Oct. 2005 taping of her show.

Then in April, 50 complained about Winfrey not having enough hip hop artists on her show.

With all the criticism of Winfrey, the talk show queen defended herself earlier this month by telling New York City-based radio station Power 105.1 host Ed Lover that she actually likes hip hop. Winfrey even went as far as to say, that she loves Jay-Z, Kanye West and even has 50

They`re all women? Haven`t you also noticed they`re mostly attractive white women too?

Oprah is hated by a lot of working class African Americans now. For the past 5-10 years Oprah`s target audience has been Upper class American Yuppies. All she has on her show is Celebritiesm makeovers and Shows where she gives away her stuff!
