Ice Cube and Mack 10 fell out in the mid-2000s after a mix of business, money, and family drama around Westside Connection, and they haven’t spoken in almost 20 years according to Mack 10.

Quick Scoop

  • Mack 10 has said in multiple interviews that he and Ice Cube have had no relationship and no contact for “damn near 20 years.”
  • Their group Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mack 10, WC) quietly fell apart around 2005 after a serious behind‑the‑scenes conflict.
  • The commonly cited trigger: an altercation involving Ice Cube’s brother‑in‑law, who Mack 10 claims was “messing up” his money on the business side.

What Actually Happened?

From Mack 10’s side of the story:

  1. He says Ice Cube’s brother‑in‑law was interfering with his business and tour money.
  1. Mack 10 claims he went to Cube “four or five times” asking him to fix the situation before things got physical.
  1. An altercation allegedly went down where Cube’s brother‑in‑law “caught a fade” (got beaten up), which Mack 10 and others have mentioned in interviews and news clips.
  1. Ice Cube is described as siding with his wife and her brother, which left Mack 10 feeling betrayed and effectively ended Westside Connection.

Mack 10 has also hinted that, beyond the fight, it was about loyalty and business respect , saying he only “fucks with who fucks with” him and that if it’s “forget me, it’s forget you.”

Have They Squashed It?

  • Mack 10: says he hasn’t seen or spoken to Ice Cube in nearly two decades and has no relationship with him today.
  • On a possible Westside Connection reunion, he’s basically said it is not happening as long as things stand how they are.
  • WC has done shows with both separately and has suggested a reunion is unlikely because Cube and Mack 10 still have unresolved issues.

Extra Forum/Drama Context

Online hip‑hop forums and fan discussions often add:

  • The storyline that Cube distanced himself partly because of Mack 10’s personal life, including allegations that he was abusive toward then‑wife T‑Boz, though that part is more speculation than confirmed fact.
  • Fans still debate whether the fallout was mainly about:
    • Family loyalty (Cube choosing his wife and her brother).
* Money/business mismanagement around tours and Westside Connection.

* Deeper respect issues Mack 10 has recently hinted at in newer interviews and commentary content.

Where Things Stand Now

  • There is no public sign of a reconciliation between Ice Cube and Mack 10 as of the most recent coverage.
  • Westside Connection is effectively dead as a group, even though WC still shows love to the brand and performs the legacy.

Bottom line: a business dispute mixed with family loyalty turned into a nearly 20‑year rift, and neither side has moved publicly toward making things right.
