Earlier this month, rapper and actor Ice Cube purchased a beautiful new home in Marina del Rey, a small beachside community in Los Angeles County.
The house was built in 2011, and originally went on the market for $10 million. However, according to the Los Angeles Times, Ice Cube dropped $7.25 million on the canal-front home.
Hollywood is a small town filled with unlikely connections. Ice Cube bought the house from Jean-Claude Van Dame, an action star best known for "Blood Sport" and "Street Fighter."
