Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr. has responded to the recently published article on Vulture that spoke about the existence of nepotism in the film industry. Jackson Jr. portrayed his father in the 2015 biographical drama film, Straight Outta Compton.
The actor posted a tweet where he stated that he was a college student when he was approached to play the role and had to audition for two years. The tweet continued by saying that although he had to handle the rest of his career on his own, O’Shea could not have been successful without the love and support of his father. He added:
“For me to ignore that or not accept and use as a guide would be foolish and disrespectful. I am grateful and I use his teaching daily.”
O’Shea Jackson Jr. advised everyone to avoid being affected by something that will make them regret everything they have achieved so far. He concluded by stating:
“Bust your a**! Do the work! And leave something for your kids to do the same thing!”
