How Ice-T & Coco Austin Address Fame with Daughter Chanel, 10

“I don’t know if it gets through her head why,” Coco added, to which Ice chimed in, noting that Chanel does understand. 

Yet, Coco—who welcomed Chanel with Ice in 2015—pointed out that she doesn’t think her daughter “knows the whole world watches her” or fully grasps that she’s known since she has parents in the public eye.

“For a little human being, she does not think she’s famous,” she explained. “She doesn’t think she’s a celebrity. I don’t even like to say those words too much, but she’s known and she doesn’t believe she’s known.”

“She just wants to act like a regular kid,” Coco added. “So I’m like, ‘OK, you can act like a regular kid, but always be nice, have manners.'”

As for Ice, (born Tracy Marrow), he’s instilled in Chanel to “never prejudge anybody,” to “meet people” and “give everybody a chance.”
