Ice Cube wants the rights to "Friday" but won't sue Warner Brothers for them
TMZ.com
Ice Cube says it will never give up the fight to get the rights to its beloved "Friday" franchise, but it won't go to court to get the job done.
TMZ Hip Hop recently caught the legendary rapper outside of Dash Radio, asking him about his fight to own "Friday" and possible spinoff opportunities for the franchise.
Cube, clearly amused by the question, reminded us that the contracts he has with Warner Bros for the film contain a ton of fine print - including that using the same characters in any capacity on a new project wouldn't fly.
Cube has been pushing for the rights to WB for years now...and it's been an uphill battle. Several original cast members like Tommy Lister Jr. and Anthony Johnson have passed away and Cube recently scoffed at Mike Tyson's suggestion to buy out his own rights.
Cube says he's not interested in taking WB to court over it, but thinks the movie giant should just pass on the rights so they can take over the franchise.
