He Is the Youngest Child of His Parents

Shareef Jackson was born on November 17, 1995, in the United States, to rapper Ice Cube (born as O’Shea Jackson) and his wife, Kimberly Woodruff. Most sources on the internet mention him as the youngest of four children of his parents. He has two older brothers – O’Shea Jackson Jr., born on February 24, 1991, and Darrell Jackson, born on December 29, 1992 – and one older sister – Kereema Jackson born on February 17, 1994. However, according to some websites, he has one more sister named Deja Jackson, who is often described as the daughter of Ice Cube and Woodruff. While some sources claim that she is the twin sister of Kereema, other sources mention her as the youngest child of the rapper. Nevertheless, the person whose picture is often shared to be the daughter of Ice Cube is actually a women’s basketball player at the University of Pennsylvania, the daughter of Erma Bryant and Larry Jackson.

His Parents Are Happily Married for Nearly Three Decades

Shareef Jackson’s parents were high school sweethearts who first met back in 1988. While the emerging rapper was immediately smitten by his future wife, Woodruff was at the time involved in another relationship. They again met after six months and were able to spend some time with each other, following which she, as Ice Cube described it, “could feel my vibe and fell in love with your boy!” They soon began dating and got engaged three years later as they welcomed their first child together. They tied the knot on November 28, 1992, and have been together ever since. Explaining the secret to their long and successful marriage, which is rare in Hollywood, the rapper revealed that they have immense respect for each other, and admitted that “I still get the butterflies when I see her.”
