While initial reports referred to the vehicle as Ice Cube\u2019s personal tour bus, the rapper has since clarified that it belonged to his crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWasn\u2019t my bus,\u201d Cube wrote on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a follow-up interview with Portland outlet KGW, Cube added, \u201cI\u2019m not taking this incident as a personal attack.
