Tucker Chills with Ice Cube - The Grift Report (Call In Show)

Rapper and actor Ice Cube said he refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19 because he felt the science was too experimental - despite the decision costing him a $9 million film role.

The 54-year-old was revealed in November to have turned down the comedy Oh Hell No, where he was set to star alongside Jack Black, and on Tuesday night he told Tucker Carlson why - insisting he never set out to become the poster child for the anti-vax movement.

'I never want to be controlled,' he said, speaking to Carlson in the back of a car as it drove around the rapper's native Los Angeles.
