In an episode of the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Ice Cube confirmed he missed out on a $9 million acting role for refusing to get the COVID vaccine.
“I turned down a movie because I didn’t want to get the motherfucking jab. I turned down $9 million. I didn’t want get the jab. Fuck that jab. Fuck ya’ll for trying to make me get it. I don’t know how Hollywood feels about me right now.”

In October 2021, Cube was reportedly dropped from Sony’s comedy “Oh Hell No,” after the producers asked all cast members to be vaccinated.
He later clarified that he “didn’t turn down” the role but was never offered it after he refused to get the COVID shot.
“Those motherfuckers didn’t give it to me because I wouldn’t get the shot. I didn’t turn it down. They just wouldn’t give it to me. The covid shot, the jab…I didn’t need it. I didn’t catch that shit at all. Nothing. Fuck them. I didn’t need that shit.”
