On Season 4 of Celebrity Family Feud, rapper turned actor Ice-T (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) and his wife Coco play against actress Vivica A. Fox (Empire), her red pantsuit and her family. Then rapper turned house flipper Vanilla Ice (The Vanilla Ice Project on the DIY Channel) plays against actress Kim Fields (Facts of Life, Real Housewives of Atlanta) and her family. While Vivica A. Fox slays in a well-fitted red pant suit, Vanilla Ice dons a tie and jacket and a snapback baseball hat with his signature logo, a cupid aiming a machine gun.

Vanilla Ice, born Robert Van Winkle, has been asked about the logo. He says, “Well, it has the same meaning as the traditional cupid but I made him more modern. I replaced the bow and arrows with a machine gun.” Why a machine gun? “So I can spread the love faster (laughing) – that machine gun is loaded with love bullets,” says Ice.

He sells the $40 hats on his website, where he also sells Word to Your Mother t-shirts. Celebrity Family Feud airs Sundays at 8pm on ABC.
The meaning behind Cupid with a machine gun is ( spread the luv ) only more effective than a bow and arrow! Karma is real!
