Last month MStars reported that iconic gangsta rap group N.W.A. would be making their way to the big screen but with production underway, it seems like a few feather have been ruffled.

According to XXL, a rapper named Kokane who was signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records is claiming that the late MC did not get his due justice in the film. Kokane claims that Cube has yet to reach out to the deceased legend's family for their involvement in the film's production.

Kokane fears that Eazy's legacy might be misrepresented in the film.

Here's what he had to say:

"Ice Cube, I don't fault you for doing this movie. You're a genius, and you show that stereotypes can be lifted off of us, but at the same time you are doing something that's wrong and foul. You're purposely leaving out certain information that is vital to the story."

But that wasn't all Kokane had to say. He went on to question Cube's ethics and even insinuated that Eazy could possibly get his own movie one day.

"It's like they're doing it for profit, but they're not doing it authentically from the heart. It's unethical and it's foul. it's like you don't care," Kokane added. "You guys care about getting money. But you know the good thing about it: There's always hope out there to have the real story told. It's increments. You gotta go back and touch the people if you wanna get the truth, because there's so much blockage as far as capital. It's a story that if it's told right and somebody can crack open this thing wide enough, everything else is gonna be the prototype for every other story. Trust me."
