The Rapper Spoke On Young Dolph's Tragic Shooting

Unfortunately, many rappers have lost their lives to a bullet from time immemorial. From The Notorious B.I.G to Tupac, Pop Smoke, and now Young Dolph.

The Blast shared that this unnecessarily violent situation makes Ice-T consider the rap industry more dangerous than drug dealing.

Last month, the musician tweeted, "ICE COLD Fact: When I was coming up…Being a Drug Dealer was the most dangerous occupation. Now it seems like being a Rapper is… smh No cap."

Fans agreed with the rapper's statement and reacted in his comment section. An internet user typed, "I am still in shock and very angry about what happened."

The enraged user concluded that Young Dolph's passing in the shootout was nothing short of a "senseless act of violence."

The "Ice Loves Coco" Star Support His Wife Breastfeeding Their 5-Year-Old

Breastfeeding is a touchy topic on the internet, but it boils down to the parents' decision. 

The Blast shared that for Ice-T and his wife of 16 years, Coco Austin, they decided to occasionally breastfeed their 5-year-old daughter Chanel Nicole Marrow, despite public backlash. 

Coco told US Weekly in July that though Chanel likes steak and hamburgers, she still wants to breastfeed now and then, and it's "a big bonding moment" for them.

Ice-T defended his spouse's decision on Twitter, adding that he too likes to breastfeed occasionally, but a fan called the situation sexual.

The "Law & Order" actor clapped back at the haters with another Ice Cold Fact, "Jealousy will have people hating on someone that they should learn something from."
