Tucker Carlson, the fearless conservative commentator, recently sat down for a fascinating interview with the talented rapper and actor Ice Cube. The conversation covered a wide range of topics, including Cube’s politics, love for basketball, and concerns about Big Pharma and the Covid-19 vaccines.
Taking a nostalgic ride through his old neighborhood in South Central LA, Cube shared stories about his roots and his close-knit relationships with family and friends. But it was during the latter part of the interview that things got really interesting. The rapper revealed that he had been fired from a film set because he refused to get vaccinated.
Tucker Carlson and Ice Cube discuss the COVID vaccine:
Tucker: "Of course I didn't take the jab."
Ice Cube: "It was a 6 month rush job and I didn't feel safe. I want to be an example for my kids, really make sure they don’t take it either.”

When Carlson asked Cube why he didn’t follow the “direct order” to get the vaccine, the rapper responded with a characteristic chuckle. “I’ve never been one to follow direct orders,” he laughed. Cube went on to express his concerns about the speed at which the vaccines were developed, saying, “It was a rush job and I didn’t feel safe.” He also emphasized that it wasn’t fair for others to make decisions about his health when they wouldn’t face the consequences themselves.
Cube made it clear that refusing the vaccine wasn’t a difficult choice for him. He wanted to set an example for his children and show them the importance of standing firm in one’s convictions. Even if it meant losing out on millions of dollars, Cube was willing to take that risk.
But it wasn’t just the vaccine issue that Cube faced pushback on. Carlson also brought up the rapper/actor’s appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he became the subject of jokes after expressing his skepticism about vaccines. Cube stressed that he never told anyone not to get vaccinated publicly and even wanted to keep his own vaccination status private. He was frustrated that this personal decision had become public knowledge.
This interview with Ice Cube comes in the wake of Carlson’s own battle with Fox News, where he was allegedly let go due to his criticism of Big Pharma and Pfizer, one of the leading vaccine manufacturers. Undercover videos even confirmed that Fox’s decision was partly driven by concerns about their financial interests.
In the end, Ice Cube’s refusal to be swayed by public opinion and his commitment to his own beliefs should be commended. While some may criticize him for his stance, it’s important to remember that freedom of choice and individual liberty are foundational principles of our great nation.
