Eric Trump continues his tour to various states across the country as the ultimate battle between Trump and Biden approaches. Amid his campaigning efforts, he posted a photo of Ice Cube and 50 Cent, wearing Trump caps, in his social media account.
The U.S. President's second son touted the photo and wrote a caption, stating that the two rappers are "great" and "courageous Americans." He, also, tagged the two artists on the platform.
Following the move, Happy Mag TV reported that the public quickly discovered the photo's authenticity. They found out that it was a "manipulated" material, adding that the original photo, which Ice Cube posted earlier in July, features him and 50 Cent wearing Big3 basketball and New York Yankees tops, respectively.

Ice Cube immediately retweeted the post and seemingly called Eric Trump out for it. Twitter, later on, marked the photo as "manipulated media."
Despite the humiliating scenario, the publication said that 50 Cent endorsed Donald Trump recently. Meanwhile, Ice Cube received thanks from a senior Trump official, Katrina Pierson, after he collaborated with them for the "Platinum Plan for Black America."
He received several criticisms on social media after learning about his stance. Many seemingly believe that he is supporting Trump's campaign, even though he called out Eric Trump for the fake photo.
Reports, then, said that Ice Cube clarified his thoughts about the issue after his fans expressed their "disappointment." One even, reportedly, deemed his action as a movement toward the "Darkside," a reference made in line with the Star Wars film.
On Twitter, he said that every side in the United States is the "Darkside" for them. He continued that everything is the same until things change for them.
Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA. — Ice Cube (@icecube) October 14, 2020
The artist, later on, revealed that he put out the "Contract With Black America" or CWBA, and both parties of Joe Biden and Donald Trump contacted him. He noted, though, that the democratic party would address the matter after November. On the other hand, Trump's campaign, reportedly, made adjustments to their platform after discussing the matter with Ice Cube.
Distractify explained that the Platinum Plan and Ice Cube's CWBA are two different things. But, the former seemingly appears to be a "branch" of the latter, which the artist created earlier in August.
Following all the debacle, Eric Trump deleted his post on Twitter. However, his action has already caused the noise, which the media picked up on immediately.
