#Ice-T Disses Politician Keir Starmer After Falling For Fake Story
The legendary rapper and actor called the Labour politician, who is widely expected to be the UK’s next leader, a “clown” on X.
The Body Count frontman fell for a ruse spread by parody account Women for Wes — named after British politician Wes Streeting — which shared an interview allegedly given by Starmer.
The post read: “Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing backlash online after criticising Ice-T (@FINALLEVEL) in a magazine interview, describing the Law & Order star as ‘corrosive’ and someone whose online conduct may encite his followers to ‘seriously hurt’ others.”
In the fake interview, Starmer was asked which public figure he found “corrosive” to society and he answered “Ice-T.”
“My son is fifteen. He loves computer games. Vic [Starmer’s wife] likes to keep an eye on our kids’ social media accounts to make sure they’re safe, and one day she comes to me and shows me my son’s Twitter profile. He’s been sharing all this truly vile stuff from some man called Ice-T,” he said.
“I soon discovered that he’s an American entertainer — rapper, actor, whatever else — and he was running a network of abusive users online called the Final Level Twitter Gang.
“He posted all sorts of rubbish: swear words, illegal activities. It was affecting the way my son was behaving. We had to take his phone off him.”
Ice-T saw the post but did not realize it was a parody as he commented: “Oh Shit!! We’re FAMOUS! The FLTG struck a nerve! You all gotta read this… F this clown.”

Starmer nor his team have yet to comment on the viral moment and at the time of writing Ice-T has still not acknowledged that it was a joke.
In more positive news for the Law & Order star, he recently celebrated his 23rd wedding anniversary with his model wife Coco.
“Today is Coco and my 23rd Anniversary!” he wrote on Instagram. “Keep it fun, Keep it sexy, and by all means ‘Stay in LOVE!’ It just gets better every year..! EVERYONE have an Incredible New Years [champagne emoji 2024.”
Coco also celebrated the milestone with a post of her own, writing: “Here’s to 23 years with this guy!! My rock! My diamond in the rough! Love you beyond #HappyAnniversary #HappyNewYear2024 #nowordscandescribe.”
Ice-T previously revealed that he was inspired to marry Coco after watching The Osbournes reality show.
“When I was going after Coco, I was watching a lot of The Osbournes,” he said. “And I was looking like, would Ozzy have a mansion if it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne? This woman is running all the tours, running all his businesses.”
He continued: “It doesn’t even seem like Ozzy would know how to pay a phone bill. Ozzy is something different. But he’s wealthy because he got a woman to hold it together.”
