Trump Actually Called Ice-T to Perform At His Inauguration, Ice-Ts Response Was Brutal

[EricMaundry]

It’s the height of delusion that President-Elect Donald Trump and his lackeys at his Presidential Inauguration Committee actually believe that A-list musicians would actually be willing to perform at his inauguration on January 20th.

Elton John had been booked for the Hillary Clinton inauguration that was sadly never to be, and he bailed on Trump. Garth Brooks said some lukewarm comments about Trump, but he, too, declined to perform. Trump actually had the gall to ask legendary rapper Ice-T if he would perform.

You can probably predict what Ice-T’s response was, in general terms. How the rapper described it via his Twitter, however, was nothing short of hilarious. Posted Ice-T, “I just got call to perform at the Inauguration…. I didn’t pick up and Blocked the number.” Ouch! He followed this by posting astutely, “Just call Ted Nugent and call it a day….” Bam!

As the internet is apt to do, it had a field day with Ice-T’s pithy story. Responded one commenter, “You should have accepted and performed ‘Cop Killer’.” Added another, “But Ice, we need you and the rest of the SVU team there. Trump is an actual predator.” Added another, “I dunno, I’d have enjoyed hearing “There Goes the Neighborhood” while people tried to crowd surf Trump into the Reflecting Pool.” One commenter topped them all, however, saying, “Ten bucks says they thought you were Ice Cube.” What kind of D-listers do you think Trump will actually get?

1. He has Kanye, right?

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Kanye said no.

I believe.

[RedWedge]

2. Goodness, could this news possibly be any faker?

Ice-T did tweet that, but it was a joke.

[MFM008]

6. So

???

[RedWedge]

7. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with fake news?

Especially when it has "Democratic" in the name of the site!

[pinboy3niner]

8. "Anyone that thinks those MFs would call me...(h)as gotta be a DumbF---."

Ice-T freezes talk: No, I wasn’t offered Trump inaugural gig
Posted by Ken Stone on December 16, 2016 in Hollywood

Rapper Ice-T is left cold by those who take him seriously. People think he rejected an offer to perform at Donald Trump’s inaugural.

It all started with what he now calls a joke:

“I just got call to perform at the Inauguration … I didn’t pick up and Blocked the number,” he tweeted.

On Friday, the rapper tweeted: “Anyone that thinks those MFs would call me?! ME of all people?? Has gotta be a DumbF—.”

But that didn’t stop celebrity sites and mainstream media from reporting the “snub” as truth.

13. so first he tells a lie

and then attacks people for believing the lie?

What an attention seeking little piece of crap he is.

He should run for President as a Republican.

[KittyWampus]

17. No, first he made a joke and then he laughed at anyone taking his joke seriously.

[hfojvt]

18. uh huh, a joke

on anybody who thinks he is a decent human being.

See, I have told some jokes myself that were not very funny, but my intent when telling a joke is always to make other people laugh, not to create a situation where I get to laugh at other people.

So he's still an a$$hole and not funny either.

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. All the info needed to tell it was a jest is in the comment itself.

“I just got a call to perform at the Inauguration…. I didn’t pick up and Blocked the number."

How would someone know they got called to perform if they didn't pick up? I don't think he was being a jerk to laugh at other people. I think he was being silly and anyone who paid attention to what he actually said would get that.

[LittleBlue]

16. I thought so

I mean, if he didn't pick up his phone and blocked the number, how did he know it was Trump asking for him to perform?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. I disagree. Ice-T is assuming the sarcasm is clear; but in the present day,

That is no longer a safe assumption.

It's completely commensurate with real headlines over the last year.

[duhneece]

29. That's how I see it, too.

HAS Ted Nugent actually been called? I guess he is anxiously waiting by the phone. (that last sentence is a joke, folks!...)

[DK504]

38. You should have accepted and performed Cop Killer.

Too bad it wasn't a real offer. HAH!!!

[jpak]

30. No Trump is the joke

A bad fake joke

yup

[brush]

3. Ice Cube's response would have been just as brutal, maybe more even.

[yurbud]

4. the SVU angle would be perfect: when he gets up to perform...

He should just do a twist on the show's opening monologue, "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. These are Trump's stories." Then rap his rap sheet.

[elmac]

15. "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.

until President Trump made pussy grabbing legal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

[importDavid]

5. Ice-T? No man - LEMONADE!! (Click) :) (n/m)

[Cosmocat]

11. Love that commercial

nm

[turbinetree]

12. Read the sign man Lemonade, whats with these people

[Coolest Ranger]

22. When I first saw

that commercial I didn't get it only after the fifth time did my dumb ass realize the joke

[LaydeeBug]

9. Maybe Ricky Martin will do it, like he did Bush. nt

[unblock]

10. $100 bucks says they thought he was *vanilla* ice!

[oberliner]

14. Right-wingers aren't the only people who fall for fake news apparently

This story is obviously BS.

[Goblinmonger]

23. He clearly meant it as a joke.

That people didn't get it doesn't fall on him.

[oberliner]

25. No, he clearly didn't

Absolutely nothing at the link indicates that it was meant as a joke.

[Goblinmonger]

39. Of course he did.

He said he was offered the job and then said he didn't take the call and blocked the number. If he didn't take the call, how was he offered the job. He was clearly joking.

That the OP and others didn't get that is not a reflection on Ice T.

And why all the Ice T hate on this post?

[oberliner]

40. Ice T meant it as a joke

I was saying the person who wrote the article took it seriously and did not realize Ice T was kidding.

[Goblinmonger]

42. Got it. Absolutely.

I thought you were saying that Ice T didn't mean it as a joke, which seemed obvious to me.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Puzzler]

20. Pat Boone... all the way...

... although I can't remember if he's alive or dead. Not that it'd matter much.


-P

[rpannier]

31. He is both

Alive. Yet, like his career he looks dead

[TonyPDX]

32. God -- maybe he'll perform his famous rendition of

Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti":

No one has less soul than Pat Boone.

[JHan]

34. i just wanna up the cringe factor here ...

[TonyPDX]

45. Yes, with "Journalist" David Gregory featured as a back-up dancer.

[forgotmylogin]

36. OMG Pat Boone with the snapping.

Why is he making fussy little circles with his hands? 2 and 4, Pat, not 1 and 3.

[oberliner]

41. The snapping seems a little off

But his voice sounds OK.

[Coolest Ranger]

21. Funny thing is

I thought Ice was joking when he sent that tweet cause I gave him props on twitter but Trump really did call him?

[pinboy3niner]

24. Ice-T was joking about getting a call

See #8.

[pipi_k]

28. Oh yeah...Ted Nugent!

Posted Ice-T, “I just got call to perform at the Inauguration…. I didn’t pick up and Blocked the number.” Ouch! He followed this by posting astutely, “Just call Ted Nugent and call it a day….” Bam!

I'm sure The Nuge would be happy to perform his hits appropriate to the occasion, like "Terminus El Dorado" and "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang"

It'll be a totally classy affair.

[HuskyOffset]

33. To quote Bill O'Reilly...

". . . and nobody was saying, 'Hey, MFers, I want more Ice-T!'"

When I first read the headline, I was thinking "how would anyone in Trump's circle even know who Ice-T is", and "if this is true, they're WWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYY down the list to get to him". Apologies to Ice-T, but he is pretty far down the list of performers, right?

[forgotmylogin]

35. He should have replied "Read the sign! Lemonade!"

True, I've seen that preroll commercial waaaay too much!

[yellowcanine]

37. Wayne Newton might be willing to do "Danke Shoen" in Russian.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

43. Perhaps John Ashcroft is available

[orleans]

44. +1 -- that's fucking hysterical! (& i actually remember it!--then again, who could forget?) n/t
