Ice Cube Reflects On Refusing To Sign A $75K Offer From N.W.A.’s Manager — ‘I Was Dedicated To Not Letting This Business Change Who I Am’

“I can’t sign the contract ’cause I don’t know what’s in it,” Ice Cube explained on the podcast. “‘I’m trying to have you get it to my people and you won’t do it. So, I need to see what’s in that contract if I sign it.’ And he was like, ‘We got $75,000 for you, Cube.’ I said, ‘Well, ain’t that my money anyway, whether I sign it or not? ‘Cause the record is out. So, that’s my money anyway.’ ‘Oh, nah — can’t give it to you. Eazy said ‘Do not give it to you unless you sign.’ So, I just got up and left.”
