Ice Cube Takes Direct Aim At Donald Trump: ‘Arrest the President’

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Ice Cube went straight at Donald Trump in his new song “Arrest the President,” and within seconds brought up the accusation that he colluded with Russia to win the election.

“Arrest the president, you got the evidence / That n—- is Russian intelligence / When it rains it pours / Did you know the new white was orange? / Boy, you’re showing your horns / They trying to replace my halo with thorns,” Cube raps.

Then later in song, he touched on Trump’s often criticized immigration stance and raised a point about ownership of land.

“Not a criminal, no, I’m a seminal / I was free once now I’m clinical / You so technical, this was Mexico / Now everywhere I go is owned by Texaco,” he rhymes.

The “Arrest the President” cut is actually the second time Cube made headlines for going at Trump. He also did it in 2016 when Trump was still running for office, because someone Photoshopped him wearing a shirt that said “Make America Great Again.”

“Stealing endorsements is not how you become the President of the United States, homie. Leave my name out ya mouth,” tweeted Cube. “I will never endorse a mothaf—— like Donald Trump. Ever.”

“Arrest the President” is the first single off the veteran rapper’s forthcoming album “Everythang’s Corrupt,” which drops on December 7 and so far people seem to like it.

“Fire,” someone wrote. “Whoever run against Trump in 2020, they should play this at every rally.”

“This is dope,” another person commented. “‘Orange ass clown.’ He’s probably crying to Putin right now.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
