Ice Cube Exits ‘Oh Hell No’ Comedy After Turning Down Covid-19 Vaccine which would have netted him $9 Million dollars payout
(Hollywood, CA) Movie News: Rapper Turned Movie Star Ice Cube turned down a $9 million role in a comedy after refusing a COVID-19 vaccine. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ice Cube declined a request by Sony producers to get vaccinated, exiting upcoming comedy titled Oh Hell No entirely as a result. Ice Cube would have co-starred with Jack Black in the project. Both Sony and a personal representative of the actor declined to comment on the matter.
Prior to filming, which was intended to start in winter 2022, producers requested that all cast receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The studio is reportedly looking for a replacement for Ice Cube, who would have been paid $9 million for the role. Throughout the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Ice Cube has promoted mask-wearing and was one of several people who donated 2,000 face masks to Bacone College in Oklahoma. He also partnered with the manufacturer Black Out on a line of pro-mask t-shirts, where all proceeds went towards frontline health workers.
