Ice Cube Calls Out Barack Obama, Tells Tucker Carlson 'Nothing Changed' Ice Cube Tells Tucker Carlson ... 'Nothing Changed' with Obama or BLM 1.6K 7/26/2023 9:10 AM PT

ICE HARD

It's not only politics that makes for strange bedfellows -- Ice Cube's unloading on Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19 vaccines and more ... with, of all people, Tucker Carlson.

The duo rolled through South L.A. together for an episode of Tucker's show on Twitter -- and they quickly found common ground on several topics ... starting with former President Obama. Cube said he was proud America had elected a Black man, and thought maybe "this guy is gonna be the guy."

But, ultimately Cube feels Obama -- like all of his White House predecessors -- did nothing to change his life.

Tucker and the rapper/actor also bro'd out on BLM ... Cube's criticism being the org didn't improve things for the Black people he knows and loves, while Tucker's voice-over and editing attacked BLM for allegedly misappropriating millions of dollars.

Interestingly, Tucker -- a staunch and vocal proponent of police -- never asked Cube about writing the song "F**k Tha Police." 🤔 Interesting.

Perhaps the most cringe moment came when Carlson referred to Ice Cube as one of the "least obedient" celebs in Hollywood. To be fair, it was a lead-in to Cube not getting the COVID vaccine -- something upon which they fully agree -- but, still ... poor choice of words?
