Ice Cube has claimed his ‘Friday’ costar Chris Tucker turned down $12 million to reprise his role in the sequel due to “religious reasons.”

The actor, whose real name is O'Shea Jackson, and comedian Tucker, starred in the 1995 cult comedy which proved to be an instant hit with viewers. The movie spawned two sequels: 2000’s Next Friday and 2002’s Friday After Next.
