Ice Cube lost out on a $9 million project — all because he refused to do the responsible thing and get the COVID-19 vaccine before filming started.

He was tapped to star opposite Jack Black in the comedy film Oh Hell No, which would have been directed by Bad Trip’s Kitao Sakurai, but he dropped out of the project because producers demanded the cast be vaccinated.
