A Tennessee woman thought it was a good idea to taunt a Hispanic woman by singing “Ice Ice Baby” not as a karaoke moment, but as a racist threat. Vanilla Ice’s biggest hit just got dragged into a cringe-worthy scene of everyday bigotry, and social media isn’t letting it slide.
The whole thing went down in Tennessee and was captured on TikTok. The video shows a white woman squaring off with a Hispanic woman behind the camera, who immediately makes it clear she never called the other a derogatory name.
“I never called you a [expletive],” she can be heard saying. Meanwhile, the Tennessee local, wearing a company T-shirt, smiles smugly and insists, “Yes, you did.” Things escalated when the Latina accused the woman of also calling her a whore, which was met with nothing but that same sarcastic grin.
Tennessee Karen Mocks Veteran With ICE Claims
When the Hispanic woman warned she’d make her “famous,” the Karen-esque Tennessean only sneered back: “Hey, please do.” And then came the line that made the internet’s collective jaw drop. Turning toward her car, the woman broke into a mocking rendition of “Ice Ice Baby.” Not the fun throwback you’d sing at a wedding reception, but a clear reference to ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. In other words, it was an attempt to reduce her opponent to a racist stereotype.
It gets worse. The Tennessee woman was in a branded company car belonging to “On The Scene Events Services,” with the business name, address, and phone number fully visible. Needless to say, TikTok viewers wasted no time screenshotting the receipts.
The Hispanic woman, who identified herself as a U.S. veteran, responded firmly, pointing out the absurdity of being targeted as an undocumented immigrant just because of her race. She asked the Tennessee woman if she could “say the same” about serving her country. Instead of answering, the local pulled out her own phone to start recording as well, doubling down instead of backing off.
The Internet Is Fuming
The internet, as expected, erupted with anger. “I can’t stand what Trump has done. I can’t stand it,” one person commented on the video. “Ppl are using this administration as an excuse to show who they really are,” a second person wrote. “Does she not know the power of TikTok?” asked a third social media user.
Whether you see it as another ugly example of racism in Tennessee or just a reminder of how entitled some people feel in 2025, one thing’s for sure: this woman didn’t just make herself “famous.” She made herself infamous. And all it took was one outdated rap song, a smug smile, and the internet’s favorite pastime, calling out Karens.
