Ice-T is ignoring the haters.
While accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Ice-T spoke with Fox News Digital about how people have attempted to "cancel" him for four decades and shared his message for haters.
"They've been trying to cancel me for 40 years… I'm difficult to cancel," Ice-T said. "I've already let everybody know all my flaws, all my vices and people rock with it."
The Grammy Award-winning musician added that if anyone hates on him, he turns the negativity into motivation.

"When someone tells me you can't do it, that means I got to do it," Ice-T remarked.
"Use that negative energy… it’s fuel. I eat haters for food."
The 65-year-old rapper recognized that receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was a big accomplishment and was grateful for the support from his loved ones throughout his career.

"It's also great to have all your friends here, and it's not a funeral, you know what I'm saying? So, to be here to celebrate something big and have everybody alive, as they say, ‘getting your flowers’ is a beautiful thing."
Ice-T donned a black and white jacket for the event, with matching black pants and sneakers. He completed his look with a black fedora and black sunglasses.
