Goodyear is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its Blimp alongside Ice Cube, the iconic rapper who recently announced his first headlining tour in over a decade. The collaboration aims to reference the iconic line from the rapper's song "It was a Good Day": "Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp and it read, ‘Ice Cube’s a Pimp."
The partnership was kicked off in Orlando at the BIG3 Championship, highlighting the blimp and an electric sign that reads off the iconic statement "Ice Cube's a Pimp." The blimp will also make an appearance at the Ice Cube Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude tour.
