Ice Cube Weighs In On Katt Williams’ ‘Money Mike’ Claims

Lyndon Abioye |

Ice Cube addressed Katt Williams’ interview where Katt disputed Rickey Smiley’s claims that he was supposed to play Money Mike in “Friday After Next” and that Katt was meant to play Santa Claus.

“Most of what he was saying. A couple things, you know. I just wanna clarify. When we bring in a new comedian we do have them try out for different roles. So Ricky did give Money Mike a shot. But when we saw him and saw how he moved and how he was auditioning, we decided he would be a better Santa Claus, which to me was a perfect casting. When we saw Katt, when I saw him I just knew that he was perfect for Money Mike,” said Cube.

Cube disputed Katt’s claims that he wrote all of Money Mike’s lines but says the comedian enhanced the role.

“Katt said he wrote his role, which the role was written, but he enhanced it,” Cube added. “This is why Kat was so dope in the movie. Money Mike had a small role but when we start filming he was giving us such magic that we kept expanding his role and giving him more to do because he was on point.”

Cune also denied Katt’s claims there was originally supposed to be an r*pe scene in the movie.
