Ice Cube claims to be 'real Scottish lord' as rapper shares video of his plot of land near Huntly

US rapper and actor Ice Cube has bragged about being a Scottish lord in a hilarious new video.

The former NWA star said he has been bought a 'piece of land in Scotland' and urged others to be a ' real lord like Ice Cube'.

The video, which has been uploaded onto his Facebook page, appears to show the plot of land in rural Aberdeenshire near a ruined fortified house of Lessendrum.

It is understood the ruined home dates back hundreds of years and was the home of the noble Clan Bissett

The piece appears to be a wooded area adjoining the A97.

In the video, holding up the document he says proves his ownership of the land, he urges others to 'get a piece of the land'.

He says: "Somebody bought me a piece of land in Scotland.

"It makes me a real lord ok?

"Be a real lord like your homeboy ice cube!"

Describing himself as 'the west coast war lord' he adds: "But did you know your homeboy is a real lord?

"Yeah that's right- a real lord."

He adds that if people want to be a 'real lord' like him they should visit the company selling titles to plots of land in Scotland.

The document which the rapper shows on a tablet computer is unclear but it does appear to say 'Lord Ice Cube'.

But he could be on shaky legal ground if tries to claim rights related to his lordship.

In 2016, the Court of the Lord Lyon, the official heraldic authority for Scotland, confirmed that titles bought online have no legal status.

The Lord Lyon said at the time: “The ownership of ‘souvenir’ plots of land of a few square feet, such as are marketed from time to
time, is insufficient to bring anyone within the jurisdiction of the Lord Lyon King of Arms.”
