Vanilla Ice to Perform in Texas Despite COVID-19 Concerns

Would you risk contract COVID-19 in order to see a rapper live in concert? What if the said rapper was Vanilla Ice? That’s exactly what some in Austin, Texas may be doing.

Vanilla Ice will appear at Emerald Point Bar & Grill on July 3. But, all bars are closed in the state due to an executive order from Gov. Greg Abbott right? Well, yes. Vanilla Ice found a loophole in that as pointed out by The Austin Chronicle. The venue is listed as a restaurant, which will allow the show to continue at a capacity of 50 percent. Even at half of a crowd, 2,500 people can come in.

“We didn’t have coronavirus, or cell phones, or computers,” Ice said on Instagram. “We had 5.0’s, Blockbuster, Beavis and Butt-Head, Wayne’s World, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.”

Weird flex, Ice.
