Music legend and actor explains ‘ICE Killer’ lyrics: ‘It’s gon’ get bad’

Ice-T is no stranger to controversy, and with the unrest and shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota at the hands of ICE, he is facing his share of it once again.

And it all dates back to last July.

The legendary musician and actor who brought the world the controversial hit, "Cop Killer," back in 1992, decided to change up the lyrics to the song at a show back last Summer.

The change?

Ice-T went with "ICE Killer" during the Warped Tour performance instead of "Cop Killer."

He was asked about that move during his appearance on Wednesday's "The Breakfast Club" show, and he wasn't afraid to speak his mind.

"When I did that, that didn't happen just recently; that happened in L.A. when we played the Warped Tour," he said. "When I was there, ICE was active out there. I'm in the midst of ICE raids. I'm in front of an L.A. audience and it just came up.

"I didn't know I was gon' do it," he continued per Billboard. "It's time to play 'Cop Killer' and my brain just said, 'Do Ice Killer.' But of course, when the girl (Renee Good) got killed, they bring that press to the front. They had me in the news fighting with the police and it was two years old. When a cop pulled me over and it make it to the news."

And he offered an ominous prediction for what could be ahead.

"You know 'ICE Killer,' 'Cop Killer' it's really protest," he said. "I'm just protesting. Like I said, I think we're headed in some very ugly terrain and Black people ain't got nothing to do with it. It's bad. I think the moment somebody shoots an ICE agent, it's gon' get bad."
