Vanilla Ice had the No. 1 album in America, 7 million copies sold. Then he opened his hotel room door and found Suge Knight inside with five men. All armed. All smiling. In the video below, he tells the story himself. He had two bodyguards with him. The men said they were huge fans. They wanted pictures for their daughters. He posed. Everything was cool, he says. Then Suge asked to talk to him on the balcony. Alone. His bodyguard stood up. Vanilla says one of the men slapped him so hard he cried, and took his gun. Thirty minutes later, they brought in Chocolate, the man who claimed he helped write the song. Vanilla says his eye was black and his lip was swollen. "Ice Ice Baby" was the first rap song ever to top the Billboard Hot 100. Everyone wanted a piece of it. Forget the famous version where Suge dangled him over the railing by his ankles. Vanilla says that never happened. What Suge actually told him out on that balcony is the part he says everyone gets wrong.
