Rapper Ice Cube uses his Twitter account to spread tangled conspiracy theories – some of which are anti-Semitic.
Rapper Ice Cube (50, "Pushin 'Weight") has to face sharp criticism: The musician spreads some conspiracy theories via Twitter – with some anti-Semitic content.
For example, O'Shea Jackson, the real name of the musician, posted on last Saturday (June 6th) a pictureshowing a group of caricatured Jewish business men playing Monopoly on the back of a group of black men. "All we have to do is get up and your little game is over," says the text in the picture.
Ice Cube was subsequently accused by many users of sharing anti-Semitic propaganda. "Cube is an anti-Semitic picture. Please delete it again, because it suggests that Jews control everything," writes one user, for example. The rapper also shared a picture of a star of david, in which a black cube is drawn in the middle. It is the so-called "Black Cube of Saturn". A conspiracy theory related to an alleged cult of devil worshipers influenced by the planet Saturn. The post was provided by Twitter with a reference to "potentially sensitive content".
"These are the hard facts"
After the criticism, Ice Cube also spoke up. Writes in a tweet he: "This is Cube talking. My account was not hacked. I only lend my vote to the meek people of planet Earth," it says, among other things. In another tweet he refers to it and writes: "I will continue to motivate and inform our people and offer simple solutions to help solve the problems that America has caused our people. These are the hard facts as I see them" , said the rapper.
