Weeks later, Ice Cube is STILL emotional over the backlash from his meeting with the Trump campaign.
The moment that he thought would make him be seen as a top leader in his community instead turned into a chink in the armor of a legend.
The rapper claimed he just wanted to help and also stated the Biden campaign turned him away. Joe’s people responded, stating they never turned him away, adding that he didn’t have a plan–he barely had an outline. Rumors even suggest he scoffed at the Biden campaign because he couldn’t directly speak to Kamala Harris.
Let me get this straight, I get the president of the United States to agree to put over half a trillion dollars of capital in the Black Community (without an endorsement) and Niggas are mad at me?😂😂😂…have a nice life.

With the political climate being as hostile as it’s ever been, he thought it would be a good idea to revisit the backlash on Twitter, writing:
“Let me get this straight, I get the president of the United States to agree to put over half a trillion dollars of capital in the Black Community (without an endorsement) and Ni**as are mad at me..have a nice life.”
The problem for most people is that he wants a pat on the back for getting Trump to lie to him and say he would invest in Black America.
Spoiler Alert: Trump will not do any such thing.
The Cheeto In Chief managed to woo over members of the hip-hop community like Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and, now Ice Cube with his Platinum Plan that’s aimed at bolstering capital into the Black community by almost $5 billion dollars.
On top of that, a key point in the backlash was the fact he did all this so close to an election in which Trump may not even win. As of today, it looks like Trump won’t be around after January 20th, so it seems as if Ice Cube did all this for nothing.
Roland Martin was the first to talk to Cube about his intentions on meeting with Trump and was pretty open to hearing him, but still broke down the error in Cube’s judgment. Now, the N.W.A. rapper’s latest tweet prompted him to respond and break it down even more for him as simple as possible.
“Bruh, You got played.”
The only problem @icecube is that you didn't get Trump to put $500 billion of capital in Black communities. It's a lie. It's ONE LINE on the cover sheet of his so-called Platinum Plan. No specifics. NOTHING. Bruh, you got played. 1/2 https://t.co/UXXfH1jfNM

Martin didn’t stop there, he continued firing off shots in response to Ice Cube’s delusion.

As pointed out by NewsOne, Roland Martin absolutely SCHOOLED Cube on the error of his ways. According to the journalist, Cube fell RIGHT into Trump and Jared Kushner’s MAGA trap and he came out completely empty-handed. He likened Cube’s foolhardy work with the alleged “500 billion commitment” to Trump’s “worthless” wedding vows.
“@icecube I get your intentions. But all of the data – lack of ANY endorsement by top Black REPUBLICAN business leaders and NO outreach to ANY Black media outlets – proves that $500 billion commitment is as trusted as Trump’s wedding vows. They are worthless. 10/10″
Why do I know you got played @icecube? I've talked to numerous Black Republicans who currently work with the administration and THEY said the $500 billion "commitment" is a joke. You're just wrong, bruh. 2/2

Also @icecube, the other reason I know the $500 billion is fraudulent because after Trump announced the plan in front of his Black minions in ATL, he never brought it up again. It was a one-page press release. 2/10
— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) November 5, 2020
The other reason you didn't get a $500 billion commitment @icecube is because the Trump administration made NO effort to do ANY Black media to discuss the plan. Did they try to go on ANY national Black radio shows? NO. Black papers? NO. Black websites? NO. 4/10

Also @icecube, if Trump was serious about the $500 billion, he would have had Bob Brown front & center with the plan. Who is Bob Brown? He was Nixon's top adviser and a strong confidant of MLK. Bob is arguably the most important Black presidential adviser EVER 6/10

He also discussed how the Minority Business Development Agency was created; how he made them give Earl Graves the loan for his final $100K to start @blackenterprise; and on and on. @icecube, if Trump was serious, where was David Stewart in all of this? 8/10

Look @icecube, I get your intentions. But all of the data – lack of ANY endorsement by top Black REPUBLICAN business leaders and NO outreach to ANY Black media outlets – proves that $500 billion commitment is as trusted as Trump's wedding vows. They are worthless. 10/10
