‘The second time I basically said, “If I propose again, would you say yes?”,’ Ice Cube, real name O’Shea Jackson, said.

‘She said, “Yeah I would”, so I didn’t really have a lot of pressure. I had built up 20 years of good faith,’ he added, laughing.

Ice Cube, who famously starred in 1991 film Boyz n the Hood, went on to describe how he proposed to his wife for the first time.

‘I don’t know if it was considered romantic. I had bought her a new car [a BMW 5-series] and when she went to sit in the car, there was a ring sitting on the seat.’
