\n\tIce Cube<\/a> has found himself caught in the chaos of Cyclone Alfred, with the rap icon stranded at his Gold Coast hotel as the storm barrels toward Australia\u2019s southeastern coast.<\/p>\n \n\tAppearing on The Project<\/em> on Wednesday night, Ice Cube, real name O\u2019Shea Jackson Sr, gave his take on the situation, joking, \u201cI\u2019m staying clear of it. You know, I\u2019m right here on the beach. The beach looks like it is going to be in the lobby in a minute.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tThe \u201cIt\u2019s My Ego\u201d rapper in Australia for a string of shows in Sydney and Melbourne<\/a> also admitted this was a first for him, saying, \u201cIt is pretty cool, I haven\u2019t been through a cyclone before. I can check this off my bucket list for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCube, with B Wise, will perform at Sydney\u2019s ICC Theatre on Friday, March 7, then head to Melbourne\u2019s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Sunday.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile Ice remains in Gold Coast as the severe weather system approaches, authorities are urging residents to act immediately. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli warned, \u201cThere is a chance this cyclone will cross in the middle of the night with a high tide. That is not the time to be making your evacuation plan, now is the time.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCyclone Alfred, currently classified as a Category 2 system, is bringing dangerous conditions along the Queensland and New South Wales coastlines, prompting widespread disruptions. Public transport across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and other affected areas is being suspended from Wednesday, and several concerts and sporting events have been canceled.<\/p>\n
