US rapper Ice Cube looks relieved as he escapes Cyclone Alfred to touch down in Sydney - after revealing he was trapped on the Gold Coast amid severe weather warnings


Ice Cube looked relieved on Thursday as he managed to narrowly escape Tropical Cyclone Alfred and jet out of Queensland.

The US rapper, real name O'Shea Jackson, told The Project this week he was trapped in a hotel on the Gold Coast amid the storm, which the region's mayor described as the worst in 70 years. The American star is set to perform a gig at Sydney's ICC Theatre on Friday and at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Sunday. The hosts then questioned why Ice Cube was on the Gold Coast and pointed out the Anaconda reboot starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black was filming in the region.
