There are a lot of mythical tales surrounding Suge Knight’s brash leadership of Death Row Records. One of those tales involved allegedly dangling Vanilla Ice over a balcony in an effort to make the rapper sign over publishing rights to the hit song “Ice Ice Baby.”
In an interview with The Dan Patrick Show, Vanilla Ice put the rumors to rest and denied it ever happened.
“Right, which never happened,” he explained when Patrick mentioned the Suge story. “I sit there and talked on the balcony. That’s where they polished up the story. All of a sudden, now they polish it up like, he’s hanging me over and change is … like c’mon, he’s hanging me by my feet or something.”
When asked if Suge threatened him, Vanilla Ice further clarified the infamous anecdote.
“He didn’t threaten me,” the 90s star continued. “He just came in and said, ‘Listen, this is my city. You wanna play? You gotta pay. Everybody else does. He ran off the roster of all of these people. He goes, ‘I got Eddie Murphy. I’ve got Arsenio Hall. I’ve got Dan Patrick on here. They all pay me when they come to my city.’ And I go, ‘Oh well, I guess I gotta pay you then.’”
Ultimately, Vanilla Ice paid Suge — something originally revealed in 1996 interview with ABC News — but still feels shaking him down on the balcony wasn’t necessary. He also shared a surprising revelation about Suge’s demeanor.
“It was really weird because he was nice,” he said. “He was actually nice. He was never mean one time ever to me. He was always nice to me. And it was really strange because he’s huge.”

I’m not going to bother watching the video. I’ll just wait a few years until Vanilla Wafer refutes this denial.
This some bull, numerous times he claimed he was f**king scared and almost sh*tt*n’ himself maybe literally p*ssed in his pants. Hung him upside down while signin’ the contract to give Suge the royalties. And that Suge came with his goons, Vanilla feared his life. Now all of a sudden it didn’t happen get outta here. You comfirmed it several times already. Guess Suge people warned this fool not talkin’ ’bout it anymore.
Changing the whole story..? SMFH
Who came out on top?? Vanilla Ice or Suge Knight? Ones a millionaire doing well for himself and the other is…. ohh yeah the other is facing life in prison. Be nice to people!
I doubt vanilla ice has a lot of money
Robert Vam Winkle (AKA) Vanilla Ice is worth 18 million, he still cant rap. And he’s definitely not considered an OG
VINALLA ICE IS THE OG OF
CULTURE VULTURES AND SUGE KNIGHT IS SATAN!!!!! FUCK ‘EM BOTH!!!! HOW ‘BOUT THAT!!!!
Maybe he was paid by some industry elistist to spread those false rumors to tarnish Suge Knight’s reputation??
Wow now we know ice is a lying bitch. Smfh.
Vanilla Ice is the dopest lyricist of all time and anyone who disagrees is a Young Thug/Drake fan who furiously masturbates to Lil Wayne wearing skin tight cheetah pants. Ice is one of the OGs who was making real hip hop along with Ice Cube and Q-tip back in 1990. The GOAT list is Black Thought, Nas, MF Doom, Brother Ali, and Vanilla Ice, and anyone who disagrees can see these fists.
I agree whole heartedly. Vanilla Ice got flows for days. GOAT in any era. FACTS
You must be a retard also
Now this is the dumbest shit I have read in a long time you must be a Retard
Yea thats the 1st dumbest shit I ever heard the 2nd dumbest was the knucklehead who agreed Vanilla Ice got flow.
He wouldn’t be saying any of this if Suge was out of prison.
Hes been saying all of this for the last 20 years.
Vanilla Ice the GOAT and had lyrics?? STOP IT!!! Stop the Silly Nonsense
fuck this dude… Ive seen him telling that Suge story with tears in his eyes in Celebrity Rehab. Now Suge is in prison, he got the guts to deny that story…
1) Mozart’s Seventh Symphony
2) John Lennon’s Imagine
3) Bob Dylan – Like a Rolling Stone
4) Miles Davis – So What
5) Ice Ice Baby
And if anyone disagrees I will exhaust all resources at my disposal to come find you and administer the most spectacular beatdown of the century on you.
Vanilla Ice still holds the title of the GLOAT-Greatest Liar Of All Time. This dude actually makes Ross look like paragon of truth.
sugey in prison now ice… why you gotta lie… no need to be scurred
