Ice-T says he still shops at Target despite his fame.

Ice-T says that, despite his fame and wealth, he still eats breakfast at Denny’s and iHop. Appearing on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Ice-T explained money hasn’t changed everything about his life. He also revealed he and his wife, Coco Austin, still shop at Target.

“Yeah we still shop at Target. We at Target,” he admitted. “Motherfuckas think at some point, humans leave the planet. Like, we don’t eat at Taco Bell or like, motherfuckas will be like, ‘He goes to Target.’ Like what the fuck, if you need Target shit! Where do you go if you need Target type shit?!”

He added: “One time. Somebody say, ‘Yo, you eat at Denny’s? You eat at iHop?’ I’m like, ‘Is there a Gucci egg I’m missing?’ Is it some egg, some place, I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do for breakfast. An egg is a fucking egg.” Check out the portion of the interview below.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ice-T discussed his iconic role on Law & Order: SVU, revealing that he was nervous about playing a police officer at first. He thought that doing so could be “career suicide” for someone who made the song, "Cop Killer." In the end, he found playing a cop to be simpler than he expected. “Playing a cop and playing a gangsta is the exact same acting,” he explained. “We both got a gun, we both got an attitude, we both want answers or there will be a consequence.”
