Ice Cube to Bill Maher: I Knew You’d ‘F*ck Up Sooner or Later’

Ice Cube started out his interview with Bill Maher by telling him he knew he “was gonna fuck up sooner or later.”

Maher apologized again earlier for his use of a racial slur last week in a conversation with Michael Eric Dyson, but Ice Cube had a few things to say too.

He told Maher multiple times that he loves his show, but also told him that he’s come close to crossing the line with some of his jokes. Maher defended other jokes about race he has told while Ice Cube said to him, “Sometimes you sound like a redneck trucker.”

At one point, Maher said that people watching right now “are saying that point has been made.” Ice Cube responded, “Not by me.”

He and panelist Symone Sanders agreed that this was a teachable moment not just for Maher, but for the entire country.
