Ouch! Eazy-E’s Son Gets Denied Playing The Role Of His Father In N.W.A. Movie
There’s a lot of hard feelings in the air after Ice Cube picked a no-name to play Eazy-E in the N.W.A. movie over his own flesh and blood. Lil Eazy-E is NOT a happy camper. Ice Cube chose to cast his own son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., to play him in the flick and picked a completely random to fill Eazy’s role. Dr. Dre’s own son didn’t get casted either. However, Lil Eazy is still going to help support and promote the film in honor of his late father who passed in 1995. Do you think he should have gotten the role of his famous rapper father?
