Rapper Ice Cube insists he isn't fighting with talk show host Oprah Winfrey and actually wants to appear on her show to clear the air.

Winfrey has recently been blasted by members of the hip-hop community for not inviting them to be guests on the programme.

But Ice Cube explains, "I ain't fightin' with Oprah, man. Oprah, 'Holler at your boy', man, that's all I'm sayin'.

"I'm just tryin' to do what I can to get on the show.

"I mean she done have two of my projects on there that I helped create, Barbershop, she had Cedric (The Entertainer) and Eve (Jeffers) on there and not me.

"Then the Black White show. Oprah, that ain't right baby, come on, you've got to get it together, man.

"If she can have lying authors on her show, she can have hard core gansta rappers turned businessmen."

Gangsta rappers turned businessman turned pornographers. He forgot to add that part.

^^I thought that was R. Kelly, Ice Cube too?

Yes, and he's married to a well-known ex-hooker.

^^^Gee, any rappers not perverts? No wonder Oprah doesn't want them sitting on her chairs, afraid of the shit they will leave behind.

On the other hand, to Cube's point...it's OK to have lying authors on her couch? Granted, probably comparing 'apples to oranges' but methinks that The O has a bit of a double standard goin' on - she can't pretend to be 'high-brow'.

^^^I don't think O knew he was a liar at the time, and although I have not read the book, I guess I don't see what the big damn deal was about that other than passing the story off as his very own. And I would rather have a lying author sitting on my couch than anyone who has crotch cooties.

^^^ True! Oh, crouch-cooties,

mouth-cooties...all the same!

Guess The Big O should have a more rigorous "screening process" for guests other than a wet finger to check the wind.

As far as I'm concerned, Oprah should invite whoever she wants to invite to her show. I think it's stupid when people like Cube think they are entitled to a spot on her show just cuz they're rappers turned businessmen or whatever.
