*CNN host Jake Tapper was put on blast by rapper Ice Cube after he called Louis Farrakhan “a vile anti-LGBTQ anti-Semitic misogynist.”

After the streaming channel Fox Soul announced the upcoming airing of Farrakhan’s Message to America, Tapper tweeted: “Farrakhan is a vile anti-LGBTQ anti-Semitic misogynist. Why is a Fox channel airing his propaganda?”

This moved the rapper to tell Tapper to “watch [his] mouth.”

Cube was criticized this month for sharing a number of Twitter posts that folks deemed anti-Semitic.

“It is hard to give Ice Cube the benefit of the doubt given the fact that his anti-Semitic activities have extended beyond the realm of the internet,’ wrote Marlow Stern of the The Daily Beast, per Complex.

“He’s an ardent supporter of Louis Farrakhan, one of the world’s most prominent anti-Semites, and, most troubling of all, the rapper and actor was accused in May 2015 of ordering his entourage to beat up a rabbi.”

In 2015, Ice Cube was accused of assaulting a rabbi outside of the MGM casino in Detroit for wearing a yarmulke, but the hip-hop icon has always maintained his innocence.

“The statement by Marlow Stern is a f*ckin lie,” Cube tweeted before threatening legal action. “I never ordered my security to beat up anybody. Get your facts straight or I’ll see you in court you asshole,” he added. 

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

Fans were quick to slam him 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. 

Ice Cube seemed to respond to the criticism by making clear that HE SAID WHAT HE SAID and that his Twitter account was not 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 sh*t…stop trying to change the narrative.”
