Ice-T<\/a><\/strong> is getting honest about why he changed the lyrics of his popular song to protest the recent ICE movements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The rapper expressed concerns for the state of the nation, particularly the nationwide protests, which sparked up in the wake of Alex Pretti\u2019s death at the hands of ICE agents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to Ice-T, several other A-listers have publicly spoken out against the actions of federal agents amid the crackdown on immigration, including Martha Stewart, Katy Perry, and Bruce Springsteen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During the \u201cWarped Tour\u201d\u00a0 in LA back in July, Ice-T delivered a powerful rendition of his hit 1992 song, \u201cCop Killer.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n This time, he switched up the lyrics and sang \u201cICE Killer,\u201d which was a reflection of the heightened tension that had begun to surround the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n During a recent appearance on \u201cThe Breakfast Club<\/a>,\u201d Ice-T revealed that he didn\u2019t plan to change the lyrics of the song. However, when he got on stage, it seemed appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was there, ICE was active out there. So it’s like I’m in the midst of ICE raids and stuff like that, and I’m in front of an L.A. audience, and it just came out. I didn’t know I was gonna do it,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy brain just said, ‘Do ICE Killer,’ and it went over,\u201d he added, making it clear that it was just his way of \u201cprotesting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Ice-T further aired his opinions on the protests that sparked nationwide as a result of Alex Pretti and Renee Good\u2019s deaths, noting that it signified a dangerous path ahead for the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI think we’re headed to some really ugly terrain. And Black people really ain’t got nothing to do with it. It\u2019s bad. I think the moment somebody shoots an ICE agent, it’s gonna get bad,\u201d the rapper stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He further made it clear that while he feels the need to speak out, he expects other artists to speak out only if they feel passionate about the issue and not just for publicity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ZUMAPRESS.com \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Just as Ice-T used his music as a platform for protest, Bruce Springsteen similarly did the same just days after Pretti was shot dead by ICE agents in Minneapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n The 76-year-old rock legend wrote a track titled \u201cStreets of Minneapolis,\u201d an echo of his hit 1994 song \u201cStreets of Philadelphia.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to The Blast<\/a><\/span>, Springsteen took to social media to share a heartwarming message that read, \u201cIt\u2019s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors, and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In the song, the legendary artist slammed \u201cTrump\u2019s federal thugs\u201d for claiming \u201cself-defense\u201d when they took Pretti\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Xavier Collin\/Image Press Agency\/MEGA<\/p>\n Katy Perry also joined Springsteen and Ice-T to lend her voice to the fight. Although she didn\u2019t release politically charged music, she took to social media, urging her fans to take action against ICE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She noted that if fans bombarded their senators with calls asking them to vote against the upcoming Homeland Security Appropriations bill, it would make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe have until Friday, January 30, to block $10 billion (on top of the $75B that’s already been funded) from going through to ICE,” she wrote, per The Blast<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n She further urged her audience to turn their \u201canger into ACTION\u201d instead of staying quiet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jeffrey Mayer\/JTMPhotos, Int’l. \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Just like Perry turned to social media to protest, Olivia Rodrigo also did the same on her Instagram Stories.<\/span><\/p>\n According to The Blast<\/a><\/span>, the singer released a statement that read, \u201cICE’s actions are unconscionable, but we are not powerless. Our actions matter. I stand with Minnesota.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n She also shared a post by Ben Sheehan, a political commentator, further urging her followers to take a stance against the opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n Jeremy Smith\/imageSPACE \/ MEGA<\/p>\n One of the most recent personalities to join the line of A-listers speaking up against ICE is Martha Stewart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A few days ago, the TV personality revealed that her 14-year-old granddaughter had sent her a message, nudging her to speak up. <\/span><\/p>\n Stewart responded by sharing an excerpt of the message on Instagram and airing her concern over the killings, per The Blast<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n She acknowledged that she was \u201cdisheartened and sad\u201d over the government\u2019s attempt to silence the protests and called for things to change \u201cquickly and peacefully.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nIce-T\u2019s Lyric Switchup Was Unplanned<\/strong><\/h2>\n
