Ice Cube looked to be in his element on Sunday night when he took to the stage to perform at Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne.
The US rapper, 55, real name O’Shea Jackson, narrowly escaped Cyclone Alfred this week, jetting out of the Gold Coast on Thursday as the weather began to turn.
But he seemed at ease over the weekend as he arrived in Melbourne and belted out some of his greatest hits during his final show in Australia.
The hitmaker rocked a monochrome look for his concert, slipping on some black slacks and a black shirt with ‘Ego Mania’ scrawled across the front.
He kept his face hidden with a set of dark sunglasses and a black cap as he hyped up the crowd.
It comes after Cube was seen looking relieved as he managed to narrowly escape ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred earlier this week.

He told The Project just days earlier he was trapped in a hotel on the Gold Coast amid the storm, which the region’s mayor claimed would be the worst in 70 years.
‘I’m staying clear of it. It is pretty cool. I haven’t been through a cyclone before. I can check this off my bucket list for sure,’ he said.
He admitted he was close to the action but didn’t seem overly concerned.
‘You know, I’m right here on the beach. The beach looks like it is going to be in the lobby in a minute,’ he joked.
Thankfully, Cube managed to get away in the nick of time and was spotted at Sydney Airport ahead of his concert in the city on Friday night.
The American star performed a gig at the ICC Theatre, with his schedule only including two shows in Australia—one in Sydney and one in Melbourne.
The Project hosts also questioned why Cube was on the Gold Coast, pointing out the Anaconda reboot starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black was filming in the region.
Cube famously starred in the original film back in 1997, and was asked if he might be in Queensland filming a cameo.

He remained coy, claiming: ‘I never saw them. I was just out doing some sightseeing and hanging out before my Sydney show.
‘I haven’t seen Jack Black or Paul Rudd around here. I don’t know what you are talking about!’
In November, the rapper-turned-actor opened up about his enduring marriage as he marked his 32nd anniversary with wife Kimberly Woodruff on Thanksgiving.
He shared the secret to their lasting bond during a recent episode of Cam Newton’s Funky Friday podcast.
‘We want to be [married]. You’ve got to want it,’ he said.
‘I don’t want nobody to have my woman. She’s mine. I’m hers.’
They share four children: sons O’Shea Jr., 34, Darrell, 31, Shareef, 24, and daughter Kareema, 30.
The star emphasised their marriage works because they understand that not every day will be perfect.
‘Every day ain’t gonna be roses. You can’t expect that from your spouse,’ he explained.
‘It’s all about whether you’re a family or not. You gotta be willing to give and there’s gotta be someone you want to give that time, effort and love to.’
