I found this article about Ice Cube playing at Mohamed Ali's 65 Birthday Celebration....
"Just as N.W.A. was taking off in 1988, Cube had a chance to meet his trash-talking hero.
"I met Ali, really before he got sick, while I was still in N.W.A.," Cube says, referring to Ali's Parkinson's disease. "We used to get our records pressed in Hollywood back then. And so we were walking out of the plant, and here comes Muhammad Ali walking down the street. And it was, 'Oh my God, it's Ali!' And you could tell he was slowing down a little bit then, but he was still at the point where he didn't need nobody to handle him. So we just kept telling him how big fans we were.""
Here's the link to the entire article.

One more thing...I researched the Cocaine Induced Parkinson's thing...All I could find was how Cocaine is used to detect Parkinson's.
The research is as follows....Cocaine Eye Drops Used to Detect Parkinson's Disease
By Amanda Gardner
Doctors might someday use cocaine to diagnose Parkinson's disease in a rather unconventional way, via drops to the eye. Researchers say they could be used as a diagnostic tool in future.
By comparing the amount of pupil dilation caused by an eye drop used in ophthalmology offices to dilation from a cocaine eye drop, researchers in Japan said they could accurately identify people with Parkinson's.
At present, there is no specific diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease, which is caused by the gradual death of brain cells producing the neurotransmitter dopamine. Symptoms of this motor system disorder include tremor, trembling, rigidity or stiffness, slowness of movement and imbalance.

I don't keep up with him, not my choice in music. But, many younger people are coming down with Parkinsons because they used cocaine. This is what's know as cocaine induced Parkinsons.
Just one more reason not to do drugs, right?
