Ice Cube Life Biography

Ice Cube was born on June 15, 1969, in Los Angeles, to Doris, a hospital clerk and custodian, and Hosea Jackson, a machinist and UCLA groundskeeper. He has an older brother, and they had a half-sister who was murdered when Cube was 12. He grew up on Van Wick Street in the Westmont section of South Los Angeles.

In ninth grade at George Washington Preparatory High School in Los Angeles, Cube began writing raps after being challenged by his friend “Kiddo” in typewriting class. Kiddo lost. Explaining his stage name, Cube implicates his older brother: “He threatened to slam me into a freezer and pull me out when I was an ice cube. I just started using that name, and it just caught on.”

Ice Cube Education

In 1990, he formed his own record label, Street Knowledge, whereby a musical associate via the rap group Public Enemy introduced him to the Nation of Islam (NOI).

Ice Cube converted to Islam. Although denying membership in the NOI, whose ideology often rebukes whites and especially Jews, he readily adopted its ideology of black nationalism, familiar to the rap community. Still, he has claimed to heed his own conscience as a “natural Muslim, ’cause it’s just me and God”. Questioned in 2017, he said, in part, that he thinks “religion is stupid”. He estimated, “I’m gonna live a long life, and I might change religions three or four times before I die. I’m on the Islam tip—but I’m on the Christian tip, too. I’m on the Buddhist tip as well. Everyone has something to offer to the world.

Ice Cube Wife

His eldest son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., portrayed him in the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton.
