It's a bit subjective I guess, I mean:

household name
noun
1.
a person or thing that is well known by the public.
Depends which demographic you asked. I would say a household name would be known amongst all age groups and people who have an interest in that person's field or not, which wouldn't be the case for Ice Cube imo. If I asked my parents if they had heard of him I know for a fact they'd say no. But Di Caprio/Will Smith/Angelina Jolie in movies they definitely would. They would know who Jay-Z is too, maybe not Kanye West.
