Vanilla Ice is all about taking pictures of themselves.
During his performance on Friday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the “Ice Ice Baby” rapper, who is 55 years old, made fun of Miranda Lambert and encouraged the audience to take as many photographs as they want. The event took place one week after the country singer had reprimanded a group of fans for snapping photos at one of her residency gigs in Las Vegas.
Ice, who is now 55 years old, mentioned Miranda Lambert when he urged fans to join him onstage after the performance of his trademark song at the “I Love the ’90s” concert, which also included performances by Rob Base, Tone Loc, Young MC, and C&C Music Factory. Ice was one of the headliners of the event.
Ice told fans who were taking photographs at the Ocean Casino Resort, which celebrated its fifth anniversary this summer, that they could take as many selfies as they wanted since “this ain’t no Miranda Lambert concert.” The resort just became five years old.
Later on in the performance, as he was performing “24K Magic,” the artist also informed the audience members that he would be into the throng to snap some more photographs. “Turn it around like Miranda hates,” he instructed the audience members to do with their phones.
Last week, Lambert caused a stir online when she paused a performance in Las Vegas before singing her song “Tin Man.”
At that moment, she spoke the words, “I’m going to stop right here for a second, I’m sorry.” These females are preoccupied with taking selfies and are not paying attention to the music that is playing.
The vocalist for Palomino went on to say, “It’s really getting under my skin a little bit.” “Sorry, I don’t like it. At all. Tonight, we will be listening to some country music at this venue. I’m singing some damn country song right now.”
Adela Calin, a social media influencer who was part of the photo-taking group at Lambert’s gig, told NBC News that she was “appalled” by the scenario after hearing several fans leave the concert after the incident was captured on tape. She estimated that it had been little more than a minute and a half. “We quickly took the picture, and then we were going to sit back down.”
Since then, renowned etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore has shared with PEOPLE that concertgoers should “be respectful to the artists who are performing because not only did you pay a lot of money to be there, but other people did.”
Therefore, it is an issue if it interferes with the capacity of a performer to act or if it prevents others from enjoying themselves. “That’s the bottom line, regardless of the offense,” she added. “There’s no getting around it.”
In addition, it is important for attendees to be “mindful” and keep several “don’ts” in mind, as stated by Whitmore.
She noted that one of the things that should be avoided is using flash photography. Other things that should be avoided include chatting on a mobile phone, throwing objects at other people, and throwing items directly towards the performers.
It is unacceptable for adults to litter the environment surrounding your home; please tidy up after yourselves. It is important to keep your voice down and not become a distraction by chatting too much. These are the fundamentals. It is not even difficult to understand. It should go without saying. However, it seems like individuals nowadays simply don’t have it anymore.
