From Tupac and Biggy to Kanye West and Jay-Z, the world of hip hop is well known for its saga of long-standing feuds.
And now, there’s something else to add to the history books, as legendary rapper Ice-T has attacked an unlikely adversary.
The rapper, who has had beef with other famous faces including LL Cool J, has started a war of words against none other than Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer after taking offense to something he didn’t even say.
Ice-T, whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow, took aim at the Labor leader in response to a fake article shared on ‘.
Obviously not realizing that the quotes were a parody, Marrow soon took to X to respond to the post in a heated rant, saying: ‘Fuck this clown.’

Ice-T launched a furious tirade against Keir Starmer after falling for a parody article falsely claiming the Labor leader had called him “corrosive”.
Marrow, reposted a snippet of the fake article, which had been posted by the parody account @Women4Wes, on X yesterday.
In the fake article, Starmer was quoted as saying he found Ice T had a “corrosive effect on young people,” including his son, who he said had been sharing “evil things” posted by the rapper.
He added that he claimed the rapper was “running a network of abusive online users called the Final Level Twitter Gang” that could “seriously harm” younger audiences.
But Ice-T didn’t realize the quotes were fake and soon took to X to respond to the post in a heated rant.
He said, ‘Oh shit!! We are famous! The FLTG struck a chord! Everyone should read this. The rapper then insulted the politician and added: “Fuck this clown.”
People have reacted to the hilarious outburst that has taken many unsuspecting fans of the rapper by surprise.
One person wrote: “Waking up to Ice T cursing out Keir Starmer was not what I expected on a Thursday morning.”
Another added: “I find it really funny that Ice T and Kier (sic) Starmer are fighting like hell.”
A third person pointed out that the quotes might not be 100% accurate, telling the rapper, “Okay, so ‘Women for Wes’ is some kind of parody/pet advocate account, and this MIGHT not be true.”
‘On the other hand, the leader of the British opposition is really that disgraceful (sic). I’m sorry you were dragged into this.
The rapper-turned-actor took offense to a fake article posted online that was shared on X, in which Starmer was misquoted as saying he considered the rapper to have a “corrosive effect on youth.”

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