During the Los Angeles Dodgers’ recent World Series victory celebration, one unforgettable moment stood out and it wasn’t just Ice Cube’s performance.
As the Dodgers celebrated their 4-1 championship triumph over the New York Yankees, legendary rapper Ice Cube took the stage at Dodger Stadium, performing his classic hit “It Was a Good Day.” But it was Dodgers manager Dave Roberts who stole the show with a hilariously unexpected dance move.
As Cube rapped his iconic line, “I gotta go ’cause I got me a drop-top / And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop,” Roberts joined him on stage, enthusiastically twerking in the background.
This spontaneous moment, captured on camera, quickly went viral, adding an extra dose of fun to the celebration. Fans across social media couldn’t get enough of Roberts’ surprising dance moves and the undeniable chemistry between the hip-hop legend and the MLB manager.
Reflecting on the unforgettable scene on Dodgers star Mookie Betts’ On Base podcast, Roberts humorously admitted, “I think I blacked out.” When Betts teased that Roberts should consider going on tour with Ice Cube as a backup dancer, the manager played along, saying he’d “love” to but would have to be careful due to his bad knee.
“This moment took me back to 1988 when I had a red Nissan Sentra and two 10-inch speakers in a wood box in the trunk,” Roberts shared, reminiscing about his early days blasting N.W.A and Ice Cube tracks.
“Man, I would listen to N.W.A and Ice Cube all day long,” he said, adding that Ice Cube’s music has always been a part of his life.
Although Ice Cube hasn’t directly commented on the viral moment, he recently acknowledged his influence on the rap scene, saying he paved the way for West Coast icons like Kendrick Lamar.
Whether or not he expected to share the spotlight with a twerking MLB manager, this moment solidified the Dodgers’ victory celebration as one for the books.
