I was discovered by a master filmmaker by the name of John Singleton. He not only made me a movie star but made me a filmmaker. There are no words to express how sad I am to lose my brother, friend & mentor. He loved bring the black experience to the world. ..Us at Cannes ‘90

@icecube "Used intelligently, a pawn can create a checkmate or become a very powerful player himself." RIP one of America's most talented filmmakers. Will be revisiting one of my favorites by him, with you in it, Higher Learning. 🙏🏾

@icecube Rip

@icecube Maaaannn Cube.. we definitely gettin old Don Mega.. we went from getting news of losing friends to guns and bangin.. now we just losing folks due to life..

@icecube @fatjoe Incredible shot, salute

@icecube I’m telling u man. To a white kid, it was eye opening. I was 10 then. Powerful is not enough. It was truth. It happened that way many times. I feel like a light has gone out.

@icecube The teacher teaches his pupil in hopes that the pupil can surpass him. The teacher is gone, but his wisdom lives on within the pupil he taught.

@icecube John...thank you for opening the door to Cube's acting prowess. Because of you, we have him and the memories his work as a thespian provides us. R.I.P, brother! Say hi to Bernie Mac for me...

@icecube He gave us the familiar yet tragic figure "Doe Boy". He understood the relationship between college & the development or regression of race relations in "Higher Learning" . "The freshest moments in my films have always been with unknown actors" - John Singleton

@icecube I still have my ticket stub. @DJPooh

@icecube I still watch his stuff today, I'm building a homeschool course on Indigenous Studies and have included a lot of his work to show the differences and reflection of culture to us here in Australia. It inspires me, to say the least.

@icecube "If you can write a rap, you can write a movie." 😔😔😔

@icecube Iron sharpens iron...slice harder now cube. Lifting up the Singleton fam.

@icecube #BoyzNTheHood will forever remain a classic. RIP 🙏🏼

@icecube I have you all to thank for despoiling my name. That’s how iconic this film is. How important John Singleton is to our community and the world. So important, I said “Bye, Felicia,” a few days ago, to shut someone down quick. John, well done native son. Well done. 🙏🏾

@icecube @MajorChaos24 So sorry for your loss. I interviewed him a couple times. A total class act and, as you say, a master filmmaker.

@icecube This man and Spike Lee must be regarded as our black film messiahs... shaping decades of our lives and giving black people real opportunities in original films.

@icecube "Have a party at my funeral, let every rapper rock it"... Rest In Heaven brotha.

@icecube @GoldenKnight89 John saved a suburban kid's life with that movie. Didn't know friends owed what they did and a car drove ultra-slow, saw muzzle and pushed both of us over the barrier and into the river. Sorry to hear of John's passing, one of the top talents of my generation.

@icecube @garybryanshow respect. @icecube

@icecube SPEECHLESS! Very CURIOUS why Tyra Banks has said NOTHING regarding John Singleton as a LEGENDARY FILM MAKER, & her EX! They dated from 1993-1996, & they GENUINELY loved eachother. Yes! EVERYONE mourns differently but... #JohnSingleton #RestPeacefully

@icecube Created one of my favorite movies of all time. Will always show my respects to the goat #JohnSingleton ✊🏾

@icecube @AliAdair22 So sorry for the loss of your friend.

@icecube #JohnSingleton rest in peace. so honored to have met you.

@icecube @tayllure I watched Boyz N The Hood again last night to honor John Singleton. The level of raw, authentic storytelling he brought to the screen at just 23 is unreal. He left us a legacy in his work and in the work of black filmmakers he inspired and mentored. #RIPJohnSingleton

@icecube @garybryanshow Rest In Peace #JohnSingleton .@icecube .@garybryanshow
