Ice Cube Will Confront Bill Maher About His N-Word Usage

Rapper Ice Cube is ready to confront Bill Maher about his controversial use of the "n-word" that has landed him in hot water.

According to TMZ, Ice Cube is not backing out of his appearance on "Real Time," which was scheduled before Maher used the racial slur in a joke.

Ice Cube was originally going to discuss the 25th anniversary of his album "Death Certificate," but now he plans on bringing up the use of the n-word with Maher and discussing the use of it.

TMZ reports that Ice Cube's rep believes it's actually good timing, because the lyrics of his 25 year old album "sadly, speaks to many of the same race issues we as a society are still dealing with today."

The discussion between the former NWA rapper and Maher should definitely have some attitude.
