Ice T is not here for the “Law & Order” complaints. The rapper and actor responded to criticism that the long-running Dick Wolf series has gone “woke” and needs to go “back to normal” in a series of tweets, as Complex reported.

When an X (formerly known as Twitter) user wrote, “Did they write SVU back to normal yet? It started to go woke,” Ice T responded: “What the F is Woke? lol Like I give a F-ck.” Naturally, fans engaged heavily with his response, giving their own definitions of what it means to be “woke.”
While one user curiously compared it to having to tear down his “John Wayne statues,” the rapper replied, “That sounds Dope… F John Wayne.”
Ice T then was sure to give his own take on the current political landscape, but only so much. He wrote in the post, “I stay outta Political shit. Like I said before… The Blue Vs The Red… It’s GangBangin to me.”
The rapper’s tweets naturally took the internet (and the press) by storm. Once his “Law & Order” opinions made it to Variety magazine, the actor had yet another reaction for the whole debacle.
Quoting Variety’s post of their story on X, Ice T wrote, “Oh Shit… Fd around and went Viral… lol.”
As Complex reports, Ice T has played Detective Odafin Tutuola for 24 years. Since the actor joined “Law & Order: SVU” in its second season in 2000, Ice T has earned accolades, including an NAACP Image Award for his portrayal. The long-running show is set to return for its 26th season this fall, with Ice T again reprising his beloved role.
The series returns to NBC on Thursday, October 3rd, with episodes streaming next day on Peacock. Check out the season 26 trailer below:
