Life has not been kind to Vanilla Ice. First, he’s Vanilla Ice. Second…well, that first one is all you need to know. But Vanilla had become a harmless parody of a time when people didn’t care if their rappers were “good” or “appropriately dressed” or “able to use language as a form of musical communication.” But now, Vanilla Ice can add “wife beater” to his already pathetic resume. According to TMZ:
Former rap star Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, was arrested at his home after an alleged altercation with his wife.
Ice was booked by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies at 10:43 PM ET on a charge of domestic battery. Sources tell TMZ he got into an argument with his wife, Laura, and he pushed her.
Looking back on some of the lyrics to “Ice Ice Baby” I think this kind of behavior should come as no surprise. I mean, when he sang “I’m cooking MC’s like a pound of bacon,” “You better hit bull’s eye the kid don’t play,” and “I go crazy when I hear a cymbal” we all knew Mr. Ice was clearly a hardened street thug who would have no qualms about committing a crime. I’m just glad he didn’t kill anyone.
