Ice Cube Responds To Katt Williams Claims On ‘Friday After Next’ Film

deadline.com:

In a nine-minute video posted to social media, Ice Cube has responded to Katt Williams’ viral Club Shay Shay YouTube show interview, in which he attacked Kevin Hart, Cedric the Entertainer, and discussed a potential bathroom rape scene in the Ice Cube film, Friday After Next, among other topics.

Hart has already responded, calling the Williams comments “sad,” but using the moment to tout his upcoming Netflix film. Ice Cube, whose film Friday After Next had Williams in it, today tried to address the Club Shay Shay comments. “It’s been over 20 years since the movie came out, and people have different perspectives,” Ice Cube began in the video about Friday After Next.

Ice Cube went on to say that he wanted to clarify a few things. Chief among them was that he would film a rape scene after Williams said that he had pushed for the removal of a sexual assault clip.

The scene features Williams’ character, Money Mike, cornered in a bathroom by Terry Crews’ character, Damon. Williams claimed “Money Mike, in the original script, got raped in the bathroom,” and that he ultimately advocated for the scene to be cut.
