Ice Cube doesn’t hold back…

In a recent sit down with Bloomberg, Hip Hop Rapper and NWA group member, Ice Cube talks Donald Trump and why Americans ‘love’ him.

“Donald Trump is what Americans love. Donald Trump is what Americans aspire to be — rich, powerful, do what you wanna do, say what you wanna say, be how you wanna be,” the rapper-actor said about Trump’s appeal. “That’s kind of been like the American dream. He looks like a boss to everybody, and Americans love to have a boss.”

Throughout the sit-down the Rapper is very vocal in his opinions of Donald Trump and what effect he believes Trump would have on America.

Ice Cube doesn’t hold back in his remarks and boldly says “Do I think he’s gonna do anything to help poor people or people that’s struggling? No, because he’s a rich white guy.”

He also went on to say that Trump would find it difficult to ”relate to the small guy” because he’s always been rich and wealthy which is not the case for the average American person.

When questioned if he thinks Trump is a racist, Ice Cube shrugs his shoulders and slightly avoids the question. Cube answers with ”He sounded crazy to me…I can see raising the question..but once you get the answer move on..he’s a guy who just couldn’t say that he was wrong”
