The internet has lost its collective mind over the revelation
Ice-T has caused a stir online after revealing that he has never consumed a bagel or coffee – despite portraying a cop in an NYC-based crime series for almost 20 years.
The rapper and actor – whose real name is Tracy Lauren Marrow – stars in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a sergeant called Odafin ‘Fin’ Tutuola.
Last night (November 9), a fan of the show tweeted Ice T to ask why his character chose the Cinnamon Raisin-flavour bagel in the latest episode. “Lol.. [because] that’s what they wrote…,” he replied.
When another viewer pressed him on his personal favourite doughy snack, he made the revelation: “I’ve never eaten a Bagel in my life…”
Lol.. That’s what they wrote… https://t.co/etV1kjgeGG

“You had a cinnamon raisin one on SVU,” another tweeted, with Ice-T responding: “Lol. TV is make-believe.”
Put simply, fans from New York and the wider world weren’t having it – with one follower saying that the news was ‘inconceivable’.

After the rapper also dared to confess that he’d never had coffee, one joker said: “Please for the love of all tell me you’ve at least had Iced Tea!”
Right! OR Coffee? Please for the love of all tell me you’ve at least had Iced Tea! 🤔

In case you’re wondering, T did reveal what food and drink treats he is a fan of. Apparently, he’s partial to a jelly doughnut and grape Kool-Aid.
Meanwhile, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is currently airing its twentieth season.
