Mr. Cube has obviously never heard the phrase 'You can't compete with a dead man'...

The rapper reportedly "blasted" the MTV Movie Awards for giving the Best Onscreen Duo trophy to Paul Walker posthumously.

The rapper believes the Fast & Furious 6 star, who died in a car crash in November, and his co-star Vin Diesel only won out of "sympathy" on Sunday night (13.04.14), and insists he and his Ride Along co-star Kevin Hart were "robbed."

The 44-year-old actor told USA Today: "We was robbed. Shame on you, MTV... We had the best chemistry of everybody nominated, for us not to win was crazy. We were the best onscreen duo, period."

Paul was also honoured during a special tribute led by his co-star Jordana Brewster at the star-studded event.

On the upside, Ice claims he wasn't suggesting the late actor  wasn't talented enough to receive the accolade, saying: "They should have gave it to him before he passed away." Bit of a barbed compliment, but sure we'll leave it off.

It seems Ice Cube just wasn't in the best of form on Sunday night, what with him leaving early due to boredom:  "I just wasn't into it. I have been going in and out of these things for 25 years. If you ain't into it, why torture yourself? As soon as you get bored, get up and leave."

Shortly before the awards, he wrote on Twitter: "On my way to the MTV movie awards. If me and Kevin Hart don't win. The fix is in."

Ice has since backtracked a tad on his statement after people started giving him grief on Twitter. According to US Magazine, he said: "Re: The MTV Awards. I wasn't really mad we didn't win. I would never diss the actors who won. Not even Paul Walker. Seriously people!... Don't believe the hype."
