Maher issued an apology immediately following the shows airing, but invited Ice Cube on his show after his outspoken criticism of the incident. The rapper started off complimenting Maher on his show, but took Maher to task regarding his frequent use of “black jokes.”

“Sometimes you sound like a redneck trucker,” Cube said before asking Maher what made him think it was okay to use the n-word.

Explaining his issue with Maher’s use of the term as well its history rooted in slavery, Cube stated that “It’s a word that has been used against us. It’s like a knife. And you can use it as a weapon or you can use it as a tool… That’s our word now and you can’t have it back.” The full exchange, also featuring former congressman Dave Jolly, can be viewed below:

Many were quick to praise Cube, real name O’Shea Jackson Sr., for his well-educated position as well as his non-confrontational tone when discussing with Maher; NPR stated that Cube had returned to form as a “vocal objector to America’s underlying bigotry” with a performance reminiscent of his early sociopolitical commentary with rap collective N.W.A.

In other news, Ice Cube has reissued his sophomore album Death Certificate this week; the release of his 1991 album is his first with Interscope Records and coincides with his receipt of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
