Vanilla Ice drags Miranda Lambert live after fan’s selfie embarrassment

Vanilla Ice aka Robert Matthew Van Winkle

The “Ice Ice Baby” rapper got real cold with the country star.

Rapper Vanilla Ice threw some shade at country star Miranda Lambert after she slammed a pair of fans for taking a selfie during her concert, reported People on Saturday.

During his Atlantic City gig on Friday, Vanilla Ice, born Robert Matthew Van Winkle, told fans, “You can take all the selfies you want!”

“This ain’t no Miranda Lambert concert.”

Van Winkle, 55, who was there as a part of his “I Love the 90s” concert, later told attendees that he would be coming into the crowd to take more pictures with fans.

“Turn it around like Miranda hates,” shouted Van Winkle.

The shade comes mere days after Lambert, 39, was slammed online for pausing mid-song to call out a couple of fans who decided to take a picture during a rather emotional moment of the concert.

According to the clip, Lambert stops the show a few bars into her hit “Tin Man.”

“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” Lambert said to her pianist. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.”

“It’s pissing me off a little bit,” continued the songstress. “Sorry, I don’t like it. At all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”

The video of Lambert’s “Actin’ Up” went viral on TikTok and currently has nearly 4 million views.

Following the reprimand, several fans got up and left the concert in protest, as heard in the audio of social media posts and indicated by reports from multiple music outlets.

“Let’s go — you don’t do that to fans,” one woman can be heard saying to her companions as they filed out of their seats.

The concertgoer, who was identified as Adela Calin, said being called out by the singer “felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place.”

“I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain,” she continued. “But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

According to Calin, the selfie took “30 seconds at most.”

The social media influencer, 43, said that the group tried to get a photo before the show but  “couldn’t get one good picture.”

Since then Lamber has come under even more intense scrutiny as a video of her popping another concertgoer beach ball resurfaced Monday.

Other celebs have also hit back at the “Drunk” singer claiming she was out of line.

“Miranda, get over it, baby,” LLCool J said while appearing on the “Mercedes in the Morning” podcast Wednesday.

“They’re fans. Let me tell you something about art — and I say this with love,” the hip-hop legend added. “So, your job as an artist is to create art. The way people choose to interact with that art or engage in it and appreciate it is up to them.”

“You got to let the fans do what they want to do. What about all the thousands of people who aren’t doing that,” added the rapper. “If you want to come to my show and you want to sit there and eat a bowl of potato salad with a baseball hat down to your nose, that’s what you choose to do.”
