Ice Cube made a memorable appearance at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ opening night on March 27, 2025, as the team kicked off the new MLB season. The iconic rapper and actor, a longtime supporter of the Dodgers, arrived in a custom blue 1957 Chevy Impala, marking the occasion in a way that was both personal and representative of Los Angeles culture. Ice Cube’s appearance added a special touch to the evening, where he presented the Commissioner’s Trophy to the defending World Series champions. The Dodgers’ social media shared photos of the moment, referencing Ice Cube’s classic 1992 song “It Was A Good Day,” tying the event to one of his most famous tracks.
In addition to his role at the Dodgers’ opening, Ice Cube is preparing for another major project with the Friday film franchise. Earlier this month, Mike Epps confirmed that he would be returning for the long-awaited fourth installment of the series, Last Friday. Epps, who has appeared as Day Day in the second and third films, shared the news during an appearance on The Breakfast Club on March 4. He revealed that the deal for the new movie has been completed and that the film would feature new comic talent along with the original stars. He also expressed hope that Chris Tucker would return as Smokey, noting the continued popularity of the character and the desire to reunite the original cast members.
Ice Cube has also spoken about the future of Friday, indicating that the next installment will bring a mix of old and new elements. In an interview on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast in October 2024, he mentioned that the film would introduce fresh characters while still capturing the essence of the original movies. Cube explained that the success of Friday is rooted in its relatable portrayal of everyday life, suggesting that the new movie would continue that tradition. Furthermore, Cube confirmed that Warner Bros. had given the green light for the sequel, which is expected to build on the legacy of the previous films.
