American rapper Ice Cube reveals he is trapped in Gold Coast hotel as cyclone bears down on Queensland: 'The beach looks like it is going to be in the lobby in a minute'


Ice Cube has revealed that he's trapped in a hotel on Queensland's Gold Coast as Tropical Cyclone Alfred prepares to bear down on the region.

The American rapper, who has concerts in Sydney and Melbourne this week, appeared on The Project on Wednesday night and revealed he'd been caught up in the incoming storm, which the regions mayor described as the worst in 70 years. The hosts questioned why Cube was on the Gold Coast and pointed out that the Anaconda reboot starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black is filming in the region. Gold Coast Acting Mayor Donna Gates says modelling now predicts the cyclone's stormfront could reach almost 150km inland, stretching as far west as Toowoomba and called it the 'most significant' event in 70 years.
