Ice Cube's PR team didn't waste a minute. Moments after the report of his less than gracious reaction to his and “Ride Along” co-star Kevin Hart’s loss to Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker at the MTV Movie Awards for Best On-Screen Duo, Ice Cube went into action, claiming his remarks were out of context.Cube and Hart were among the nominees, but the award went to Diesel and Walker. Walker, as we should all know by now, died in a car crash last November.
It was reported that Cube accused fans of the "sympathy," vote.
He told USA Today, "We was robbed. Shame on you MTV. We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy. We were the best onscreen duo, period."
It was also reported that Cube told reporters he decided to leave the awards ceremony shortly after arriving, to “watch a basketball game at home”. He said, "I just wasn't into it. I have been going in and out of these things (awards shows) for 25 years. If you ain't into it, why torture yourself? As soon as you get bored, get up and leave."
Ice Cube wrote, "Re: The MTV Awards. I wasn't really mad we didn't win. So I would never diss the actors who won. Not even Paul Walker. Seriously people! Don't believe the hype. We should honor people before they die. That's all. MTV Awards. Ice Cube is not a sore loser. I was born losing. This winning s--- is what I gotta get use to. Last tweet and I'mma leave it alone. Remember this: A lie travels further then the truth (sic). Damn the devil is busy. And Paul Walker fans don't trip. I was a fan too."
