Ice Cube has responded to Elon Musk after the Twitter<\/a> boss poked fun at with him a lighthearted meme \u2014 although Cube\u2019s response was anything but.<\/p>\n

The West Coast rap legend doesn\u2019t app<\/a>ear to be too happy with how Musk has been running Twitter, which has rebranded to X, since he bought the platform for a reported $44 billion last year.<\/p>\n

Musk first swiped at the former N.W.A member on Thursday (September 14) with a punny meme featuring side-by-side photos of Ice Cube and a glass of water.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember Ice Cube? This is him now, feel old yet?\u201d the meme read, implying the water had melted down from actual ice cubes.<\/p>\n

Cube fired back with a meme of his own that made his feelings about Musk\u2019s Twitter ownership be heard loud and clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember Twitter? This is it now, feel stupid yet,\u201d he captioned side-by-side images of the Twitter bird logo and a dumpster fire.<\/p>\n

Judging by user reactions, Musk appears to have edged the meme battle as his post has over 670,000 likes and 49,000 retweets, compared to Cube\u2019s approximately 214,000 likes and 32,000 retweets.<\/p>\n

Ice Cube has changed his tune when it comes to Twitter as he was actually overjoyed when Elon Musk took over the platform and even asked him to undo his shadow ban.<\/p>\n

\u201cFree at last! @elonmusic take off my shadow ban homie,\u201d he tweeted in April 2022.<\/p>\n

The South African billionaire isn\u2019t the only who has ruffled Ice Cube\u2019s feathers as the 54-year-old rapper recently revealed he was banned from going on The View<\/em>, as well as any of Oprah Winfrey\u2019s other shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to go on The View<\/em>. They didn\u2019t have me on\u00a0The View<\/em>,\u201d he said during a controversial interview with right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson in July. \u201cA few of the hosts just really didn\u2019t like where I was coming from. That\u2019s what I was told by the producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if it was the producers was just copping out and using some of the hosts to have me not explain myself. I\u2019ve been on there before. It\u2019s just when I\u2019ve become an independent thinker. I don\u2019t follow their brand of politics I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI\u2019ve been excluded on Oprah. I don\u2019t know that it is. You know, I had a movie called\u00a0Barbershop<\/em>\u00a0that I wasn\u2019t invited to participate with the cast [on Oprah\u2019s show].<\/p>\n

\u201cI produced a show called Black White<\/em>. It was a very controversial show and once again [Oprah] had the whole cast on and I wasn\u2019t invited. So I don\u2019t know what that\u2019s really about. I really don\u2019t know [why]. That\u2019s something that I would love to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
