Ice-T reveals the ‘parenting technique’ he uses to combat his daughter’s stage fright

Ice-T reveals the ‘parenting technique’ he uses to combat his daughter’s stage fright

Ice-T loves sharing the stage with his little one.

On Thursday, October 24, the 66-year-old rapper, who shares daughter Chanel, 8, with wife Coco Austin, posted an adorable photo on his Instagram of the father-daughter duo. Standing on stage together during one of Ice-T’s stops on tour with his band Body Count, the proud father holds his mic in front of Chanel’s face as she happily sings to the crowd.

“Yes, my parenting technique is probably different from most… But @babychanelnicole has no stage fright,” he wrote in his caption.

Ice-T is also the father of two adult children: daughter LeTesha Marrow, 48, and son Tracy Marrow Jr., 32, who is also a member of Body Count.

In June, the musician chatted with PEOPLE just before heading out on tour, where he revealed that life on the road has always been a family affair with his youngest daughter.

“She learned how to walk on the tour bus,” he told PEOPLE. “It’s these little aisles, and she’d hit the sides, and we’d send her down the aisle.”

And while Chanel may not be ready to rap yet, Ice-T said she “loves touring.”

“She’s been on stage since she was little,” he says. “She’s looking forward to it.” I bring it out during a song called ‘Talk S—, Get Shot.'”

Ice-T laughingly admitted that no, Chanel doesn’t know words, and he turns her entrance into a full-blown moment with the crowd.

“I have a gag where I tell the audience. But she comes out. And my other son is there with us. So yes, it’s a family affair,” he said.
