Rap icon Ice Cube is getting a frosty reception from liberal fans, after the Trump campaign revealed he contributed to the president’s ‘Platinum Plan,’ a four-year investment project for the black community.
In a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, the rap megastar behind NWA’s ‘Straight Outta Compton’ said that he’d recently met with both Republicans and Democrats, and concluded that “the system” was rigged against black Americans, and that he wouldn’t join his fellow entertainers on the Joe Biden “gravy train.” Neither party, he said, had ever “done right by us.”
However, President Donald Trump’s campaign adviser, Katrina Pierson, said on Wednesday that the Trump administration has taken advice from the rapper in putting together its ‘Platinum Plan,’ an “economic empowerment” plan promising half a trillion dollars of investment into black communities and three million new jobs for African Americans.
