Ice Cube joins the list of rappers (i.e. Ludacris, 50 Cent) who feel that Oprah has a problem with rap artists. Some believe this problem stems from Oprah's disappointment with the use of the "n-word" in many hip-hop artist's song.
Ice Cube's beef with Oprah stems from his perceived feeling that Oprah repeatedly excludes him from television appearances on her show. He claims to have attempted to get on the show three times and has been turned down each time. He points to the 2002 Barbershop Oprah show where Cedric the Entertainer and Eve were invited to the show but he was not.
In response to remarks that Oprah did not like Hip-Hop Music, the talk show host appeared on New York's 105.1 FM to defend herself:
She revealed to DJ Ed Lover: "I listen to some hip-hop. You know, I've been accused of not liking hip-hop, and that's just not true.
"I got a little 50 Cent on my iPod. I really do. I love 'In Da Club', and you know, I love Jay-Z, I love Kanye West and I love Mary J. Blige."
