UPDATE 9:58 p.m. EST: Ice Cube says there’s no beef with Paul Walker or the MTV Movie awards, and we’re all making something out of nothing. He addressed this recent controversy via Twitter:
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!

Re: The sympathy vote: We should honor people before they die. That's all. Shame on you "make something out of nothing" ass reporters. Smh

Re: MTV Awards. Ice Cube is not a sore loser. I was born losing. This winning shit is what I gotta get use to.

Last tweet and I'mma leave it alone. Remember this: A lie travels further then the truth. Damn the devil is busy.

He didn’t have to use his A-K, but if he had one, Ice Cube may have prevented his latest robbery. The rapper-turned-actor says he was “robbed” at the MTV Movie Awards by the ghost of Paul Walker, who won “Best Onscreen Duo” last night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Walker was nominated with Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel; Cube with Kevin Hart for Ride Along.
Walker died in a car crash late last year, and Cube says he got “sympathy” votes.
For real? That’s cold, Ice Cube.
“We was robbed,” Ice Cube told USA Today. “Shame on you, MTV.”
Ice Cube says Walker, who died in a car crash back in November, only won out of “sympathy.”
“We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy,” Ice Cube told the newspaper of himself and Hart. “We were the best onscreen duo, period.”
“They should have gave it to him before he passed away,” Ice Cube added of Walker’s win.
Walker’s posthumous win isn’t the only thing that has the hip-hop star peeved. Ice Cube also dissed last night’s MTV Movie Awards by leaving mid-show.
“I just wasn’t into it,” he said. “I have been going in and out of these things for 25 years. If you ain’t into it, why torture yourself? As soon as you get bored, get up and leave.”
