Ice Cube felt it was time to clarify some things about his beloved Friday franchise. Comedian Faizon Love recently talked about his experience on the film, in which he famously played neighborhood drug dealer, Big Worm.
In a recent interview, Love revealed that he only made $2,500 for his role as Big Worm.
“See, it wasn’t really about the money then,” said Love in an interview with Comedy Hype. “I got to say I’m working, pay my rent, I ain’t out in the street doing no bulls—t.” He added, “It wasn’t iconic when we did it."
“They wanted to give me double-scale. The scale was $2,500, right. So that was $5,000,” he added with a grimace while acknowledging the payout was simply not enough to reprise his role. Instead he accepted a role in “The Replacements” for $100,000.
