Ice Cube says he believes “a coward set fire” to a crew bus traveling through Portland as part of his Truth to Power: Four Decades of Attitude tour.
In an X update on Saturday, Sept. 27, the Man Up artist spoke out amid the chatter surrounding recent reports of a bus fire in the Oregon city. Some reports have referred to the vehicle as Cube’s own personal bus, though Cube himself has since disputed this.
“Wasn’t my bus,” Cube wrote on X, as seen below. “It was a crew bus. Parked in front of the hotel. Everybody was upstairs sleeping. Nobody hurt. No equipment damaged. A coward set fire to the bus. My bus was actually in Oakland getting serviced.”

Previously, Cube gave similar remarks to regional outlet KGW.
“I’m not taking this incident as a personal attack,” Cube told the Portland-based station. “A coward like that would burn anybody’s property that was out there at the time.”
Complex has reached out to Portland Fire & Rescue reps for an update on the investigation into the fire. This story may be updated.
Cube’s North America tour continues this week with scheduled stops in Glendale, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City. The run is currently slated to close with a show at Houston’s Toyota Center arena in October.
