Ice Cube and his touring crew are safe after a fire occurred on the exterior of his tour bus in Portland earlier this week. The incident occurred after the rapper and movie star stopped at the Moda Center for a performance on Monday. Portland Fire and Rescue confirmed that on Tuesday, the front passenger tire of a charter bus caught fire near Southwest Oak Street and Southwest Broadway. “We extinguished the fire and used a fan to ventilate the smoke from the bus,” said Rick Graves, a PF&R spokesperson. Graves added that the cause of the fire is under investigation. He also said he was not aware of who was using the bus. KOIN 6 News reached out to an individual representing Ice Cube, saying the artist’s crew is safe and sound after the incident. “Iโm not taking this incident as a personal attack,” Ice Cube said in a statement. “A coward like that would burn anybodyโs property that was out there at the time.”
