Ice Cube, the legendary hip-hop artist and co-founder of the BIG3 league, has set his sights on Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark with a groundbreaking offer. The Big3 basketball league, founded by Ice Cube in 2017, has extended a historic USD 5 million offer to the NCAA's all-time leading scorer, Caitlin Clark. 


What was supposed to be a deal in progress, as Ice Cube’s recent tweet hints, has now broken the internet. Hours after the gigantic USD 5 million boggled the NBA fan’s mind, the search volume saw a massive surge for Caitlin Clark.

Ice Cube tweeted a couple of hours ago, and it reads: 

“We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the championship. But I won’t deny what’s now already out there: BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3.”


Additionally, along with breaking the deal news, Ice Cube was in full swing with his tweets, adding a couple more posts on the same topic. 

With his offer, he highlighted that he is trying to ease up the American women athletes’ struggle during their off-seasons as many of them opt to play in foreign leagues during that time.

Referring to them as 'dismal and dubious foreign countries,' Ice Cube also criticized the country's 'pro leagues being infiltrated by autocratic, anti-women regimes such as Qatar.'
