Following a report about their involvement in the film, the 46-year-old rapper released a statement asserting that he and his son are not formally attached to the pic, reported Deadline.
"Ice Cube and O'Shea Jackson Jr. Have no plans to commit to this project at this time. Any speculations or rumours that suggest that they are confirmed are simply untrue", the statement said.
Buzz around the LA Riots movie started growing in the wake of the runaway success of the NWA biopic "Straight Outta Compton" which Cube produced and featured O'Shea Jackson Jr as an actor.
Cube will be seen next in the sequel to "Ride Along" with Kevin Hart, which bows in January.
