Get up to date on Vanilla Ice's most recent court battle.

Rapper Vanilla Ice is facing a lawsuit from his ex implying that he's the father of her 5-year-old child. His longtime girlfriend Kirra Hentz is claiming that he is the father of her daughter Priscilla. She is first asking for a DNA test to prove his paternity, according to HipHopDX. On top of that, she's seeking a mandate for child support payments from the rapper. Vanilla Ice already has two daughters with his ex-wife Laura Giaritta.

It's the most recent controversy for Vanilla Ice following repeated allegations that he didn't write his biggest hit "Ice Ice Baby." In an interview recently the song's co-writer Mario "Chocolate" Johnson said Vanilla Ice had done nothing during the song's writing process. This echoed things that Suge Knight himself had said in the past about the creation of the track.

Just yesterday news broke that rapper Mos Def may have to forfeit money from his upcoming tour for child support. Though Vanilla Ice does have a number of shows coming up there's no indication that his legal proceedings are heading in a similar direction. There's also a biopic in the works celebrating the rapper titled To The Extreme. Actor David Franco revealed a few years ago that he was on track to play the 90's rap star in an upcoming film.

In a different recent interview, Vanilla Ice himself reminisced upon a time when Madonna proposed to him. “She even proposed to me. Things were going so crazy and fast man,” he said. “I was just like, ‘What? I thought the guy was supposed to do that. What do you mean? Wait a minute, this is too fast. I’m just getting started here and I’m way too young for this’” he continued. Tell us what you think about Vanilla Ice's ongoing beefs and legal proceedings in the comments below.
