Allen Hughes, the director of the iconic 1993 film "Menace II Society," has revealed that rapper Eazy-E was originally intended to play the role of O-Dog in the movie. However, the role was ultimately recast because Eazy-E was deemed too controlling.

In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Hughes explained that he had originally written the role of O-Dog specifically for Eazy-E, who had been a mentor to him early on in his career. However, Hughes said that he ultimately had to move on from the idea of casting Eazy-E because he and his business partner, Jerry Heller, were too controlling and were trying to exert too much influence over the script.

"I learned everything from Eazy, but one of the things with him and Jerry is they always try to keep you in a box and control you. And they were trying to control us in the script and I just had to move on, and it was for peanuts," Hughes explained.

Despite the challenges that he faced with Eazy-E, Hughes still holds a deep admiration for the rapper, who was a member of the iconic gangsta rap group N.W.A and the founder and CEO of Ruthless Records. Eazy-E tragically passed away in 1995 after battling AIDS.

"I adore Eazy. He was so giving and so down-to-earth. By the way, great with his fans, too. Very patient with his fans. But I see why Cube left, I see why Dre left. There was a whole thing there," Hughes said.

While Eazy-E may not have ultimately been cast in the role of O-Dog, "Menace II Society" remains a beloved film that has had a lasting impact on popular culture.
