Part 2: Vanilla Ice: I Got the Name "Vanilla" from Being the Only White Guy in My Crew, I Hated It
--------
Vanilla Ice recently returned to VladTV, reminiscing about his last viral interview and providing a humorous and candid insight into his life. Born in Dallas, Texas, on Halloween, Vanilla Ice (real name Robert Van Winkle) never knew his biological father. Raised by a single mom who married seven times, he shares how his mother explained her tumultuous love life with humor and self-reliance, often stating, "I got seven honeymoons, seven wedding dresses." Despite not knowing his real dad, Vanilla Ice had a fulfilling childhood, largely due to his stepfather, Byron, who served as a father figure. His mom's resilience in raising three children independently left a lasting impression on him.
