Ice Cube is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 'Friday' film with a concert featuring Mike Epps, while also advancing multiple projects including a new 'Friday' sequel and the upcoming public launch of his BIG3 basketball league, valued at $290 million. He has also addressed legal challenges involving allegations of false ownership claims in the BIG3, and expressed criticism toward contemporary rappers for what he views as subpar performances. Meanwhile, he continues work on the 'Last Friday' script, which will explore themes of gentrification.
