Amber Rose made a parody of Vanilla ice creamat the Republican National Convention — and if you’re wondering if the man himself is upset about… well, we have an answer.
Vanilla told TMZ … that he actually has ownership rights to “Ice Ice Baby” — the track Amber and the rapper Forgive the blow falsified to promote their support for Donald Trump at this week’s convention — and VI notes that he did not approve of the track being used for Republican Party purposes.

He goes on to tell us that the publisher who also owns the rights to the song also didn’t release it — which is why it was taken down from YouTube… but in terms of whether Vanilla is actually upset about it… it doesn’t seem like he is.
As he explains… he’s not that political – emphasizing that he doesn’t vote and never has – and he keeps saying that he has friends on both sides… so he toes the line.
Vanilla Ice also tells us that he will perform for anyone who is willing to write him a check… saying that if Joe Bidenwanted to book him a show, he’d be there in a heartbeat. In the same breath, Vanilla says he was amused that “IIB” was played to cheer on Donald Trump.
Turns out… Vanilla says that DT is actually a friend of his, telling us that he’s been his neighbor in Palm Beach for years, noting that he knows the family and thinks they’re wonderful people.

Vanilla says he just does his thing and stays in the ’90s… and that’s exactly where he wants to be. Of course, Amber herself is on a different wavelength these days — she’s gone full MAGA and is proud of it.
As we all saw… she gave a speech at the Republican National Convention and seemed to be well received by Trump supporters and Republicans.
But when it comes to Vanilla’s point of view on all this… it seems like he’s keeping it out of his mouth.
