So it seems things aren’t as happy in the hood as we reported. To recap: In response to being bombarded with questions about Lil Eazy E’s absence from the upcoming N.W.A. biopic(despite the fact that Ice Cube’s son is playing his father in the film), Cube mentioned that Lil Eazy E auditioned to play the role of his father as well(the legendary Eazy E), but failed to make the cut. He also said that Lil Eazy E fully embraced the idea of actor Jason Mitchell portraying the role and was pleased with the way Ice Cube handled the situation.
Now its been revealed that this peaceful resolution isn’t really peaceful at all. Lil Eazy E expressed his true feelings about what happened on a recent post from his Facebook page. He states:
“I have been asked by so many reporters for my thoughts on Ice Cube speaking on my unpolished acting, yet he has his son playing him and his son has never been in a major role.
…First off, I feel like a lot could not act to par in their first role or first time acting in a major movie, but the rawness worked for raw movies like Boyz in the Hood AND this NWA movie should be the same…and how I feel about acting the hospital scene and things of my father being in his death bed or beyond what the movie is based on which is NWA and NOT Eazy E’S STORY as the explanation of why I never got the role makes it sound out to be which couldn’t be any farther from the truth, but you feel different about things that people do in this bizz…so it is what it is.
I respect Ice Cube to the utmost…BUT I wonder why production would tell the young actor playing my father to stay away from me???? AND why won’t production film in the original house where NWA started instead of another Compton house???? You would think that respect would be given to do so, but like I said, a lot of things are weird in this bizz on what is said and done…..BUT…..THE ONE THING I AM BEST AT AND IS NOT AN ACT FOR ME IS TO STAY REAL AND BE STAYING TRUE TO MINE.”
‘Nuff said. Lil Eazy E expressed himself & that’s exactly what N.W.A. video we’re gonna leave you with…
