Vanilla Ice Denies Balcony Altercation With Suge Knight, Says He Helped Fund Death Row

    Although it’s been decades since rapper Vanilla Ice, real name Robert Van Winkle, was allegedly dangled outside a balcony by former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight, the story has managed to stick with the rapper well past his “Ice Ice Baby” days.

    But in a recent interview with Interview magazine, Vanilla Ice revealed that the entire story about Knight hanging him off of a balcony was a complete lie.

    “That’s a lie. I read the story, and I heard it, and I had to defend it nine million times, but he never took me to the balcony, threatened to hang me over, or anything,” said Vanilla Ice.

    While Vanilla Ice may now claim that the incident was a complete fabrication there are others close to the rapper who believe that his altercation with Knight did in fact happen.

    “I wasn’t there when it happened, but I was around after it happened. Yeah, it did happen. Definitely,” said Rodney O., a former writer for Vanilla Ice, in a recent interview with HipHopDX.

    Another interesting revelation made by Vanilla Ice during the interview was that according to him there were various projects from Death Row artists that were funded by him thanks to his music career.

    “From the money that Suge got from To the Extreme from me, he started Dr. Dre,” Vanilla Ice explained. “The Chronic record came from the funding from my record; Tupac came from the funding of my record; Snoop Dogg came from the funding from my record.”

    1. So…the whole thing was a fabrication? Who’s to blame for putting out such a crazy lie? Oh wait HE did. “I read it. I heard it”? Suspect.

      So he willingly gave away millions of his hard earned cash to a notorious gangster and not getting any of the profits from it…just because? Suspect.

      I dunno Ice, you sound like a battered wife, “He didn’t really punch me. I just ran into his fist 14 times”. Suspect.

      1. “I dunno Ice, you sound like a battered wife, “He didn’t really punch me. I just ran into his fist 14 times”. Suspect.”

        LMFAO Nigga!

      2. Haaahaa! Funny shit. I’m gonna go with the immature, low-blow and say his chin looks like a vagina in that picture….he’s a snatch-chin.

    2. im pretty sure vanilla ice himself said in his E true hollywood story or some like show that this happened. im sure someone will find it online soon.

      1. Yeah I remember the same interview, what the fuck lol. I guess he forgot that shit was on nation wide television years ago.

    3. whether true or not, fact is that the money of ICE ICE BABY did help DEATH ROW gettin started. so he is kind of responsible for the greatest hip hop, whether you like it or not.

      1. And judging by your reply, we know who bought the albums that allegedly helped these other albums…smh…You probably had that Vanilla Ice poster with him on his bike when his flick came out…

      1. True indeed. Why is this dude even breathing still.

        We lose Biggie, Pac, Michael Jackson and we still have this flat out waste of airtime and airspace. If I recall correctly, this idiot is the one who actually told others that Suge did that ish. And if I recall correctly that ish was on a VH1 special or something.

        So yeah, Patric. You were correct in stating he is a fag. This Vanilla Ice clown is the absolute worst.

        (Yeah…his loot did help fund and start Death Row though…Tough break. Although, that is a helpful contribution to hip hop history. So thank you?)

    4. Robert van Winkle, you DID get ur ass hung off a balcony by suge.

      and robert van winkle, you DIDN’T fund Dr Dre, Snoop or 2pac.

      please dont speak again bitch ass mutha fucker. ok, thanks, bye….

    5. “According to Van Winkle, Knight took him out on the balcony by himself, and implied that he would throw him off the balcony unless he signed the rights to the song over to Knight; Knight used Van Winkle’s money to help fund Death Row Records.”

    6. lol this guy hangs around the wellington green mall all day doing nothing and nobody treats him like a star when i see him in the mall and recently he went to jail for hitting his wife lol i live close to wellington,fl

      1. he did say it happened long he said he pissed and shitted on himself actually it was on the old abc news show 20/20 when he admitted it

    7. See!? This is how it was! When a wack musician in hip hop makes a track that goes pop. If the person was actually CRAP he will fade like hes supposed to. Now hiphop is filled with vanilla ices and MC hammers.

    8. Vanilla Ice needs to go dig a hole for himself already. He has zero integrity and was one of the very 1st rappers I remember that got caught in a career-ending lie. This trick got caught lying back in the day about being from one of the hardest hoods in Miami. Then it was later exposed his monkey-ass is actually from Dallas. Dude went from hero to zero in like 3 seconds and got kicked out the rap game; Ofcourse this happened back in the days when integrity meant something in the rap game, unlike these days. BTW what’s up w/all these cats in Miami and the lies man??? Ross lying about not being a CO, Khaled lying to himself about being a producer, must be something in the water (lol).

    9. I just paid $23,98 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $37,59 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $677 which only cost me $72,13 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentStart.com
