Ice Cube is opening up about why Chris Tucker never returned for Next Friday, despite reportedly being offered eight figures. During a conversation with Funny Marco, Cube explained that Tucker’s religious beliefs played a major role in his decision to move away from the Smokey character’s weed-smoking image. Mike Epps eventually stepped in and joined the franchise. Would you have liked to see Chris Tucker return as Smokey? #IceCube #ChrisTucker #NextFriday #FridayMovie
