Ice-T launched an angry tirade against Keir Starmer after falling for a parody article that falsely claimed the Labor leader had called him ‘corrosive’
Marrow reposted a clip of the fake article, which was posted by the parody account @Women4Wes, on X yesterday.
In the fake article, Starmer was quoted as saying he felt Ice T had a “corrosive effect on the youth,” including his son, who he said had shared “mean things” posted by the rapper.
It added that he claimed the rapper “managed a network of abusive users online called the Final Level Twitter Gang” that could “severely harm” younger audiences.

He said: ‘Oh s***!! We are FAMOUS! The FLTG struck a chord! You all need to read this. The rapper then insulted the politician, adding, “F this clown.”
People have reacted to the hilarious outburst that has taken many of the rapper’s unsuspecting fans by surprise.

Another said: ‘I find it so funny that Ice T and Kier (sic) Starmer are acting like what the real f***.’
A third person pointed out that the quotes may not be 100% accurate, telling the rapper, “Okay, “Women for Wes” is some kind of paroday/petdefender account, and this MAY not be true.
‘On the other hand, the Leader of the British Opposition is really that embarrassing (sic). Sorry you got dragged into it.”

After emerging from the mainstream in the 1980s, Ice-T released his debut Rhyme Pays in 1987, followed by the Top 40 album Power the following year.
He introduced his new band Body Count on one track with 1991’s even more successful OG, before releasing a debut LP with the group the following year.
Ice-T fronted the group, which combined his rap style with heavy metal, a subgenre he was a fan of. The band was an influential part of hip hop’s merger with other genres as it became more mainstream.
After breaking through as a solo hip-hop artist, Ice also turned to acting, making his feature film debut in the breakdancing-themed musical Breakin’ in 1984.
This then led to roles in other films such as New Jack City (1991), Ricochet (1991), Trespass (1992), Surviving The Game and Tank Girl (1995).
He eventually landed his career-defining role as Detective Fin Tutuola, joining the hit TV show The Law and Order: SVU in its second season in 2000.
