Rapper Ice-T launches furious 'F*** this clown' tirade at Keir Starmer after falling for parody article which falsely claimed the Labour leader had called him 'corrosive'

From Tupac and Biggy to Kanye West and Jay-Z, the hip hop world is well known for  its saga of longstanding feuds. 

And now, there's one more that can be added to the history books, as legendary rapper Ice-T has hit out at an unlikely adversary. 

The rapper, who has had beefs with other famous faces, including LL Cool J, has ignited a war of words against none other than Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer after taking offence to something he didn't even say.

Ice-T, whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow, took aim at the Labour leader in response to a fake article that was shared on X, in which Starmer was incorrectly quoted as saying that he found the rapper to have a 'corrosive effect on the youth'. 

Obviously failing to realise that the quotes were a spoof, Marrow soon took to X to respond to the post in a heated rant, saying: 'F*** this clown' .

Ice-T launched a furious tirade at Keir Starmer after falling for parody article which falsely claimed the Labour 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 that he found Ice T to have a 'corrosive effect on the youth' including his son, who he said had been sharing 'vil stuff' posted by the rapper. 

It added that he claimed the rapper was 'running a network of abusive users online called the Final Level Twitter Gang' which could 'seriously hurt' younger audiences. 

But Ice-T failed to realise that the quotes were fake and soon took to X to respond to the post in a heated rant. 

He said: 'Oh S***!! We’re FAMOUS! The FLTG struck a nerve! You all gotta read this.  The rapper then insulted the politician, adding: 'F this clown.'

People have reacted to the hilarious outburst which has taken many unsuspecting fans of the rapper by surprise.

One person wrote: 'Waking up and seeing Ice T cussing Keir Starmer was not what I expected on a Thursday morning.'

Another added: 'I find it so funny that Ice T and Kier (sic) Starmer are beefing like what the actual f***.'

A third person pointed out that the quotes may not be 100% accurate, telling the rapper: 'Ok so "Women for Wes" is something of a paroday/petdefender account, and this MIGHT be not actually true.

'On the other hand, the leader of the UK opposition really is that embarrasing (sic). Sorry you got dragged into it.'

After rising up 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 O.G., he introduced his new band Body Count on one track, before release a debut LP with the group the following year.

Ice-T fronted the group, which combined his rap stylings with heavy metal, a subgenre he was a fan of. The band was an influential part of hip-hop's merger with other genres as it became more mainstream.

After breaking out as a solo hip-hop artist, Ice also began acting, making his debut in a feature film in the breakdancing-themed musical Breakin' in 1984. 

This then led to roles in other movies such as New Jack City (1991), Ricochet (1991), Trespass (1992), Surviving The Game and Tank Girl (1995).

Ultimately, he landed his career-defining role as Detective Fin Tutuola, joining the hit TV show The Law and Order: SVU in the second season in 2000.
