Ice Cube has spoken out on social media following a fire that damaged his crew’s bus last week in Portland, Oregon, during a stop on his Truth to Power tour.

Initial reports allege that the attack was instigated by protesters who mistakenly identified the vehicle—due to its prominent “ICE” letters—as belonging to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A group believed to be associated with Antifa threw incendiary devices at the bus, causing significant exterior damage but not causing any injuries.

The firebombing has raised concerns about protest violence, mistaken identity and public safety at large concert events. The incident, reportedly motivated by a misunderstanding involving a bus’ “ICE” lettering, highlights the risks facing touring artists and their crews amid a polarized American social climate.

Law enforcement is actively investigating, while Ice Cube’s response emphasizes composure and resilience in the face of property damage and mistaken protest targeting.

No injuries were reported, but the event has sparked debate over protest tactics and the safety of high-profile performers.

I guess it wasn’t a good day.
