A tour bus belonging to rapper Ice Cube was allegedly firebombed in downtown Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday morning, according to reports. The incident occurred while the artist was in the city for a performance at the Moda Center.

Portland Fire & Rescue responded to a blaze at the front passenger tire of a charter bus around 9:30 a.m. at Southwest Broadway and Oak Street, as confirmed by Rick Graves, a spokesperson for the fire department. Tresa Sanders, founder and CEO of Ice Cube’s public relations firm TreMedia, verified the vehicle was part of the rapper’s tour.

Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the fire but have indicated it may have been intentional. “I’m not taking this incident as a personal attack,” Ice Cube said in a statement to KGW. “A coward like that would burn anybody’s property that was out there at the time.”

Portland Fire & Rescue officials are reviewing security footage from nearby cameras to investigate the incident. The department initially did not know the bus’s affiliation but has since confirmed its connection to Ice Cube’s tour.

The fire has sparked speculation about potential motives, with some suggesting confusion over the bus’s “ICE CUBE” branding. However, no official conclusions have been reached.
