Vanilla Ice opened up about an intense encounter with Suge Knight, the notorious co-founder of Death Row Records. Reflecting on his rising fame, Vanilla Ice recalled how he was unexpectedly met by Knight and five armed men in his hotel room. The meeting turned confrontational when Knight allegedly asked to talk alone with him on the balcony, resulting in one of the rapper's bodyguards being slapped and disarmed. Vanilla Ice detailed how Knight convinced him to join a "fraternity" of celebrities associated with him in return for protection. He emphasized that the encounter he had with Knight was different from the public’s perception, who was often friendly and cordial. Unaware at the time, he unknowingly signed away his publishing rights. Despite this, Vanilla Ice insisted he held no bitterness towards Knight and that he never cared about the money.
