Overview
- Ice Cube wrote on X, “This is not a quote from me,” refuting a post that falsely attributed comments about LeBron James and Michael Jordan to him.
- The unsourced claim originated from the @Hoopss account, which has more than 770,000 followers, helping the fabrication gain quick visibility.
- The fake update alleged Cube called LeBron‑Jordan comparisons “a joke” and said LeBron had not built anything “solid,” assertions not tied to Cube by any credible source.
- In a follow‑up reply, Cube cautioned against letting others put words in his mouth, warning, “If you let people put words in your mouth they may want to put something else in your mouth next time.”
- Coverage of the denial ran alongside separate Lakers news, including LeBron assisting Rui Hachimura’s game‑winner in Toronto as his double‑digit scoring streak ended.
