Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby' drama
The rapper was previously hit with allegations from one of his 'Ice Ice Baby' co-writers that Ice contributed nothing at all throughout the creative process and did not compose his breakthrough hit 'Ice Ice Baby.' Mario "Chocolate" Johnson reportedly the told The Art of Dialogue in June 2022, "Every song I did on that album, he credited himself. He said he wrote 'Ice Ice Baby' at 16. He didn't write any parts of that song, and he really believed it. So imagine that."
Johnson added, "People think that we had a problem with 'Ice Ice Baby.' We didn't. 'Ice Ice Baby' was already in the can, paperwork done. We had a problem that when the record came out, I was sent to Texas to work with him on the album. I did nine songs, and he was supposed to pick five that I was getting paid for, but he ended up putting all nine on the album."
