Ice Cube rejects $9m movie offer due to vaccine mandate.
Rapper Ice Cube Reveals Why He Turned Down $9 Million Movie Role
Rapper Ice Cube recently shared an intriguing story on Joe Rogan’s podcast about why he passed up on a lucrative million role in a movie. The reason? He wasn’t vaccinated.
Ice Cube confirmed that he was originally set to co-star in Sony’s Oh Hell No back in 2020. However, he expressed confusion about how the news of his decision became public. He stated, “I didn’t go out telling everybody what happened,” and suspected that the story was leaked to put pressure on him.
“I thought it was chicken sh**,” Ice Cube told Joe Rogan on Thursday. “It’s like what happened to the HIPAA laws, you know?”
Initially, the Hollywood Reporter leaked the story, but even that didn’t sway the rapper’s stance on receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
“They try to, you know, put my business in the street, put pressure on me, everybody around me tell me how stupid I am so I can go get vaxxed and say you know: ‘Please let me do the movie,'” Ice Cube said. “You know that was never gonna happen. I don’t care if it was 20 million. That was never gonna happen.”
Joe Rogan, who has also expressed skepticism about the vaccine, agreed with Ice Cube’s decision.
“And if you got injured from that vaccine, you would have paid that 20 million to be healthy again,” Rogan said.
Moderna’s Pricing Strategy
In other vaccine-related news, Moderna announced in March that it plans to price its COVID-19 vaccines between $110 to $130 per dose. This is almost five times more than the $26 per dose the company has charged the government since last July.
