From Steven Donnelly: When is that fight between you and the singer from Trapt going to happen?
“Yeah, that’s a weird question. I don’t know that dude! I never heard of the band Trapt before all this started. I think he was in an altercation, he’s speaking of Power Trip and he’s talking shit to Riley. Now why that started I have no idea but in the midst of this he went off on the entire Sumerian label – which we’re no longer on, we’re on Century Media. But in the midst of that rant he included Body Count in one of the group that he sells more records than on Pandora. And of course, like we say on the street, ‘Keep my name out of your mouth’. You could say, ‘We sell more records than everyone on Sumerian’ but once he named Body Count, I decided to say something.
“I just told him, ‘Keep talking, we’ll bump into each other one day’, which he took as a threat. Maybe when I bump into him I’ll want an autograph, I don’t know, I just said ‘I’ll see you’. That was gonna be it but he continued to rant and rave and that turned into him wanting to do charity fights. My boy Danny Diablo jumped in, ‘Don’t speak on ice-T’, because believe it or not, people respect me out there (laughs). People were like, ‘Ice, he’s just trying to use you guys for publicity,’ and I let it go.
“But the theory that you’re going to talk shit to somebody and then get in a charity boxing match, what kind of clown shit is that? Like, really? Nah, nah, if I do bump into him, it’ll be in a parking lot some place and then we’ll see if he wants to repeat his words. I’m not planning on fighting him, I don’t want to hurt the guy, we’ll just see what happens.”
From Mike Herrera: Which do you enjoy more: heavy metal or rap?
“I enjoy doing both equally. It really depends on the crowd. No artist likes to play in front of a dead crowd and fortunately I don’t get dead crowds. So whenever I’m in front of a live audience that’s really on point, it’s a great show. A fan is a fan to me, regardless of whether they came to see Ice-T with Body Count or Ice-T as Ice-T. The love is still there and I still enjoy it the same.”
From Tina Pulido-Puckett: Can we see Coco in Law & Order Special Victims Unit again?
“It’s possible. It’s interesting how she got into SVU because Coco [Austin, Ice’s wife] used to come to the set with me every day before Chanel was born. She had an office set up and she would operate from there. So when they said they needed a blonde with big boobs or a curvy chick, they would refer to them as ‘like Coco’. Then they said, ‘Well why don’t we just ask Coco to do it?’ She was like their default blonde. I don’t know if you could see Coco as a DA or a judge, she’s a little bit out there!”
