Michael Blackson Defends Only Making $800/Day for ‘Next Friday’ Movie

• On Wednesday, Ice Cube took to Twitter to defend the pay rate of the actors on the movie Next Friday.
• It started when Faizon Love said he was paid $2500. Ice Cube said he was paid 'scale' for one day of work.
• Michael Blackson has now entered the chat.
• He took to Twitter and wrote, @icecube is not to blame for us getting paid so little it's the film industry's pay scale. I got paid $800 a day when I did Next Friday plus overtime. I made $1200 for my one day's work.
• Thanks to Next Friday I became the biggest African comic.
• Faizon Love returned to social media to thank Ice Cube, DJ Pooh and director F. Gary Gray for allowing him to be a part of the movie.
