Rapper Ice Cube is no fan of Oprah. He joins rappers Ludacris and 50 (fitty) Cent in their beef with the talk show hostess because she never seems to invite rappers on her show. “Maybe she’s got something against rappers”, says Ice Cube.
Gee. Ya think?
Last month, 50 complained that Winfrey rarely invites rappers on her talk show: “I think she caters to older white women.” Ludacris, whose real name is Chris Bridges, told GQ magazine that the media mogul was “unfair” to him during a show he appeared on last October with co- stars from best-picture Oscar winner “Crash.”
Earlier this month, Winfrey defended herself in a surprise appearance on New York City-based radio station Power 105.1.
“I listen to some hip-hop,” she told DJ Ed Lover. “You know, I’ve been accused of not liking hip-hop and that’s just not true. I got a little 50 (Cent) on my iPod. I really do. Love ‘In Da Club.’ … Love that, and you know, love Jay-Z, love Kanye (West), love Mary J. (Blige).”
The O is down with rap, yo.
