The comments came more than a year after reports in October of 2021 that he had been passed over for a role in the Sony comedy Oh Hell No as producers wanted all cast vaccinated for the shoot.

The entertainer, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, said he ‘turned down $9 million’ in not getting vaccinated to appear in the film, which is slated to star Jack Black and be directed by Kitao Sakurai.

The Los Angeles native replied to suggestions he could focus his efforts on streaming endeavors.

‘That’s Hollywood thought – they’re on some s***,’ he said. ‘But me too, I’m on some s*** too.’
