Body Count rapper Ice-T has explained why he changed the lyrics of the Grammy-winning band’s notorious single Cop Killer to ‘ICE Killer’ last summer, as United States Immigration And Customs Enforcement faces renewed backlash in 2026 for killing two people in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In a new interview with Variety, the frontman explains that he first changed the lyrics to the 1992 song, which was lambasted by multiple conservative groups and even then-US president George H.W. Bush when it first came out, on a whim during a Los Angeles show last July.
