Ice-T "totally understands" why the man was staring at his wife.

Ice-T and Coco Austin showed out over Grammy weekend. Of course, the Gangsta Rap pioneer played a huge role in Questlove’s Hip Hop 50 performance that brought together intergenerational talent. However, he also watched the show from the sideline as performers like Jay-Z, Quavo, Bad Bunny, and more graced the stage.

While seated in the audience, Ice-T’s wife Coco appeared to catch the attention of a fellow attendee. The Law & Order actor took to Twitter where he shared a video of a man blatantly staring at Coco. Though the individual seeming acknowledged Ice-T beforehand, he clearly was fixated on Coco’s assets. However, the 64-year-old MC didn’t appear to be distressed over the man’s glare. In fact, he gets exactly why the man did it.

“Lol… I love how the white dude looked at me then took time to check Coco out,” Ice-T wrote. “I TOTALLY understand..” However, he didn’t end up identifying the individual who was staring. Given that Ice-T and Coco stood next to Grammy nominee, Future, it seems as though the man could’ve been some sort of person working within the music industry.

Ice-T’s reaction doesn’t necessarily seem all that shocking, especially since he understands Coco’s sex appeal. Over the years, he hasn’t shied away from expressing his fondness for Coco’s butt. Last August, Ne-Yo alleged that Ice-T gave him the green light to squeeze Coco’s behind. Apparently, Coco was wearing a racy costume at a Halloween party and Ne-Yo was feeling bold after a few shots.

“So, I walked up to him and was like, ‘Bro, with all due respect, uh, I’ve been wanting to squeeze Coco’s ass for a really long time,” Ne-Yo recalled telling “I’m Your Pusher” rapper once upon a time. Though you’d expect most men to get defensive of other men staring at their wife, the singer said Ice-T’s reaction was the complete opposite. “You knoIce-T and w what? I’m just the kind of pimp that’ll let you do it,” Ne-Yo recalled Ice-T telling him. 

Ice-T and Coco celebrated their 21st anniversary in 2022. It’s quite clear that they’re still going strong. Check out Ice-T’s post below and sound off in the comments with your thoughts.
