Ice-T celebrated getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame by giving his haters some appreciation.

The hip-hop legend took the podium, with his daughter behind him, and directed a profanity-filled message to anyone that’s ever doubted him. “I want to thank the motherfucking haters because you really make me get up in the morning and be the best that I can be,” he said as the audience cheered.

“All the naysayers, all the people that wanted to end my career, now I’m on the Walk of Fame bitch ass motherfuckers,” he continued. You have to let the haters motivate you. If you want to go to the gym, go on YouTube and see somebody talking shit about you and go get your reps in.”

Ice-T’s celebratory rant didn’t end there. “If it wasn’t for the haters, I definitely wouldn’t have pulled this off, I swear to God,” he said. “Thank you so much. I’m going to give you so much more to hate in the future.”

After Ice-T posted his speech on X, someone chastised him for cursing in front of his daughter. Responding to someone asking him where his wife Coco was to stop him from using profanity, Ice-T hilariously responded with “Shut up Bitch…”

After his clap back, Ice-T let the world know how his family was reacting to his foul language by sharing a picture of them lounging on a beach. “Us right now…….While people go back and forth about our parenting,” he wrote. “It’s so Obvious we look like we give F… Have a nice day! #TheIceFamily.”

Ice-T also shared a message with a more positive note to his followers today. “ICE COLD FACT: EVERY person on Earth 🌍 is dealing with some level of Stress..,” he wrote. “Every single person. Some more than others. But the illusion that someone is stress free… is just that. An illusion. 💎 Stay strong. This LIFE thing is not easy for Anybody.”

Last month, footage of Ice-T going hard on a police officer surfaced on the internet. The rapper-turned-actor was stopped for expired plates in 2021 in New Jersey and indicated that he was headed to a nearby DMV to take care of the situation. After the police officer informed him that he would tow the rap legend’s vehicle, Ice-T said to him, “I’m one foot away form the DMV — you’re a fucking asshole. I showed you all of the paperwork.

Later, when the officer told Ice-T to "show some respect," the rapper, as on-brand as he could possibly be, retorted with, "I don’t have t."
