Ice Cube spoke out about his involvement with the Trump administration’s Platinum Plan after he was publicly thanked by a senior campaign advisor for his contributions.
The four-year initiative plans to create 3 million new jobs for African-Americans and will see $500 billion injected into black communities.
Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan

Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading! ✊🏾
After many notable African-American’s responded to the shoutout, Ice Cube explained his involvement further in a tweet.
Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.

When he was met with arguments to his response, he continued, “They’re all the same until something changes for us. They all lie and they all cheat but we can’t afford not to negotiate with whoever is in power or our condition in this country will never change. Our justice is bipartisan.”
President Trump has not commented on Ice Cube’s collaboration with the administration.
