Ice-T caught a random man checking out his wife, Coco Austin, at the 2023 Grammy Awards, but surprisingly had no problem with it.
The rapper-turned-actor posted a video on Instagram on Monday (February 6) capturing the whole ordeal happening right before him. In the clip, Ice-T and Coco can be seen watching a performance at the awards show with Coco dancing along to the music when a man next to the couple lets his eyes wander.

Fans can see the guy glancing at Ice-T before not-so-subtly lusting over Coco, who was seemingly unaware of what was happening. In his caption, the 64-year-old rap icon addressed his wife’s admirer, but rather than get mad, he admitted he “totally” understood where he was coming from.
“Lol… I love how the white dude looked at me then took time to check Coco out…. I TOTALLY understand.. #2023Grammys,” he wrote.

Ice-T first met Coco through a mutual friend on the set of a music video in 2001. They got married in January 2002 and welcomed their daughter Chanel Marrow in 2015.
Despite his wife being a model, actress and TV personality, Ice-T has shown he’s very secure in their relationship, to the point that he’ll even let his peers cop a feel. During his appearance on Drink Champs last year, Ne-Yo revealed Ice-T once gave him permission to touch Coco’s rear end during a Halloween party.

“Ice-T let me squeeze Coco’s booty one time. Yes, respectfully,” the R&B singer told N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, leaving the co-hosts blown away.
“‘Cause mind you, she had some shit on,” Ne-Yo continued, adding that he was a few drinks in at that point. “So I walked up to him and I was like, ‘Bro, all due respect, I’ve wanted to squeeze Coco’s ass for a really long time.'”
Ice-T then obliged in the most gangsta way possible: “You know what? And I’m just the kind of pimp that will let you do it.”
Ne-Yo remembered the Law & Order: SVU star calling her over to their corner of the party and whispering something in her ear, to which she turned around with a smile.

“[She] turned around and bent that thang over and I tried to grab as much of a handful as I could. He gave me a pound and we drank and hung out the rest of the night,” he remembered fondly.
