Ice Cube has made it pretty clear that he likes muscle cars and prefers purchasing them and keeping them in stock condition. In his interview with Top Gear, he said, “I’m not the type who’ll go and change the carbs, or change the exhaust. I just don’t get into it like that.”
Ice Cube's car collection garage does include a 1964 Impala which has also made appearances in his music videos. His song "Low Rider" had several classic hot rod cars jumping around as well. Furthermore, O'Shea Jackson Sr. believes that cars are, “a big signature on your personality”. He has added that “Cars are a status symbol from the neighborhood that I come from”. That is why he started with a humble 1969 Volkswagen Beetle as his first car but ended up with a Rolls-Royce Ghost.
6. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
In 2016, Top Gear reported that Ice Cube had a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. However, it was not revealed which model year he owns. Considering the date of publication, he likely owns the 2016 model. Meanwhile, the exact specs of the car also remain unknown. However, we at least know that Rapper has kept the car away from any external updates.

Ice Cube has fancy lyrics in his raps. However, the “You Can Do It” singer is rather a man of few words in real life. Hence, when he says he considers his Corvette Stingray a “nice” car then he really means it. That said, assuming Ice Cube had bought the 2016 Corvette Stingray Z51, he would have paid a minimum of $60,400.
5. Cadillac Escalade
Like most celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and Justine Bieber, O’Shea Jackson also owns a Cadillac Escalade. However, the model year and specifications of his 3-row full-size luxury SUV are still a mystery. Having said that, if you are planning to buy the latest Escalade, the starting price is $81,895.

Kevin Hart and Ice Cube were in lead roles in Ride Along and its sequel. In the Ride Along 2, both were driving in the French Racing Blue Jaguar XJR car as reported by The Drive. Furthermore, the model year of the car is not known. However, it likely belongs to the 2016 model year since the movie came out in the same year.

During his conversation with Top Gear, Ice Cube revealed that he had a Porsche Panamera.
