Ice Cube has attacked Oprah Winfrey - accusing her of having a "problem" with hip-hop.The rapper-turned-actor says the US talk show giant has never had him on her show despite having three chances to bring him on as a guest.He fumed: "I've been involved in three projects pitched to her, but I've never been asked to participate. "For 'Barbershop' she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn't invited. Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop."He added to America's FHM magazine: "She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"Cube - whose real name is O'Shea Jackson - is not the first rapper to accuse Oprah of having a problem with rappers. Ludacris and 50 Cent have both made similar allegations.However, on a recent New York radio show the media mogul denied she had a problem with rap music.

She revealed to DJ Ed Lover: "I listen to some hip-hop. You know, I've been accused of not liking hip-hop, and that's just not true.
