"I'm willing to meet with anybody who could bring this to life and make it a reality," the rapper told Chris Wallace on 'Fox News Sunday.'Power Player of the Week, chatted with Chris Wallace on Sunday about working with President Donald Trump on the administration's Platinum Plan, which aims to invest $500 million into Black communities.
"We make up 13 percent of the country, and we're only getting .5 percent of the wealth in the country," Cube told Wallace before explaining why he's working with Trump, who has defended Confederate symbols and failed to denounce white supremacy during the first presidential debate."They listened, heard what I had to say, pumped up their plan and presented it to the people.
When Wallace suggested that people have called the N.W.A rapper a"sellout" for working with this president, Cube denied it."I've told everybody that I'm not playing politics with this," said the rapper, who prior to the Platinum Plan was working on his own Contract With Black America, a pledge for politicians right the wrongs of the past via prison reform, bank lending, and more.
The Fox News anchor also asked what the artist would do to"push the system" over the next four years, regardless of who'll be sitting in the White House."Find pressure points. That's the only way you can push," Cube replied."My daddy told me a long time ago, 'No matter who's the president, you gotta get up to go to work in the morning,' and I always remember that.
The rapper did share on Twitter in mid-October that the Biden-Harris campaign was interested in meeting with him regarding Contract With Black America, but not until after the election. He defended himself at the time, tweeting on Oct. 15:"When we created the Contract With Black America we excepted to talk to both sides of the isle. Talking truth to power is part of the process."

'I'm not playing politics' seems like Cube woke up Brand New and above it all so the rules don't apply to him

You’re not working with the current president in any way and also “not playing politics” Ice Cube you’re too comfortable.
Hey Dummy. You don't KNOW what 'politics' is. But if they happen to boycott your productions, you'll learn.
Damn Cube.
He’s come a long way from “I never have dinner with the president”
This one hurt.
Go. Away.
“My support of a white supremacist should not be deemed political.”
He released a song last year called 'Arrest the President' lol.
Only playing himself. I'm so disappointed.
Why not work with the candidate who has the mindset, capability and heart to get something done? Really lame, icecube
Imagine having to defend not hating somebody fervently enough.
No. He’s not playing. He’s BEING played.
Biden/Harris are AWOL
Is this like the “Operation Warp Speed”, another program that doesn’t exist!
nah, you playing money
Is he playing with realDonaldTrump’s taint? Hmm?
Clearly. 😂
