Ice Cube was not chill at the start of the 2022 NFL Draft.

The legendary rapper, actor, and entrepreneur was called onto the stage by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and proceeded to scream into the microphone.

“What’s up Las Vegassssss?” Ice Cube yelled.

“Let’s get this party started right! If y’all are ready for this draft, let me hear you say yeah!!! Say oh yeah!!!!”

Ice Cube got booed when he shouted out the home team Raiders nation and brought out their quarterback, Derek Carr.

It appears the crowd was filled with tourists.

In any event, Ice Cube yelled so loudly that he seemed to bust up ESPN’s whole audio setup.

“Fix that mic please!” begged former New York Jet and current ESPN personality Damien Woody.

“All the back-patting about the splendor of the NFL Draft ‘party’ and the sound system is from a high-school gym,” lamented Bryan Curtis, a media reporter at The Ringer.

“My teenage cousin who works at the roller rink as a DJ is doing a great job running the #NFLDraft audio,” tweeted NY1 assignment editor Christina Santucci, sarcastically.
