*Ice Cube has responded to the backlash over the alleged anti-Semitic images he posted on Twitter.

Fans were quick to slam the rapper/actor over what they deemed to be offensive imagery of Jewish men with exaggerated facial features. One image showed the men playing Monopoly on the backs of Black folks, per PEOPLE. The other image touted the conspiracy theory that the “Black Cube of Saturn” lies within the Star of David.

“F— THE NEW NORMAL UNTIL THEY FIX THE OLD NORMAL!” Ice Cube wrote alongside the Monopoly image on June 6.

Several Twitter users immediately responded to the post, asking Cube to delete the memes. 

“Cube, this is an Anti-Semitic trope,” one Twitter user responded. “Please take it down as it suggests Jews control everything. And trust me, we don’t. Because if Jews controlled everything, I would be rich af & Donald Trump would be in prison #DoBetter.”

Another commenter added, “Hi Cube. I’m sure you didn’t realize, but that’s a famous anti-Semitic meme you posted. Please take it down. Jews stand with you. I know you wouldn’t mean to fight hate with more hate. #BlackLivesMatter.”

Writer Roxane Gay said that it is “impossible to take you seriously with regards to social justice or,.. anything when you post anti-Semitic imagery. What the f— are you doing?”

“hey can you maybe not be antisemitic,” another Twitter user said in response to Cube’s post. 

Ice Cube seemed to respond to the criticism on Wednesday and denied that his Twitter account was hacked.

“This is CUBE. My account has not been hacked. I speak for no organization. I only speak for the meek people of thee earth. We will not expect crumbles from your table. We have to power of almighty God backing us all over the earth. NO MORE TALKING. Repent,” he tweeted.

He also retweeted a PEOPLE article titled “Ice Cube Under Fire for Tweeting Anti-Semitic Images and Conspiracy Theories,” and captioned his post, “Ice Cube ain’t under shit…stop trying to change the narrative.”
