The entire ordeal derives from White House advisor Katrina Pierson taking to social media to publicly thank Ice Cube with a tweet that read, “ Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan. Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading “ reports the Rolling Stone.

The tweet caught major traction as Ice Cube began to trend throughout Twitter as social media users accused him of going from N.W.A to M.A.G.A.
It has been indicated that a rep for Cube has come forward to state that his initial intentions were to meet with both the Trump and Joe Bidden to further discuss each of their proposed plans for Black Americans. Cube also wanted to forward his support with direct stance of the Contract With Black America (CWBA) , which has been identified as a ‘blue print to achieve racial economic justice.” It has been stated that the Biden campaign advised Cube that his concerns would be addressed by them after the campaign and that the Trump administration acted swiftly.
Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.

The contract reads, “The problems facing America are too deep and wide to simply reform one area or another,” the contract said. “Long-lasting solutions demand a comprehensive thorough ‘rethink’ of America so that each new approach in each area supports the success of the others. This Contract with Black America will provide conceptual approaches in several areas.”
Every side is the Darkside for us here in America. They’re all the same until something changes for us. They all lie and they all cheat but we can’t afford not to negotiate with whoever is in power or our condition in this country will never change. Our justice is bipartisan. https://t.co/xFIXXpOs8B

As we previously reported back in August Cube took to Twitter within an uploaded video to issue the probe question of what will Black people gain within the upcoming election once voting is completed and a president is officially chosen.
Damn, either Ice Cube don’t know… don’t show… or don’t care about what’s goin on in the hood… 😥

So ice cube is a “sellout” for partnering with the President of the United States to come up with a plan that invests $500billion in the black community?
But if it was mass black incarceration Joe Biden he worked with y’all would be happy coz TV told you to be. Sheep— Melissa Tate (@TheRightMelissa) October 14, 2020
