Ice-T pens memoir
Ice-T has never forgotten the path his life might have taken. The rapper and actor has a deal with Gallery Books for the memoir titled Split Decision: Life Stories, in which Ice-T and his long-time friend, identified only as Spike, look back on their time as partners in jewellery heists in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Spike ended up in prison while Ice-T went on to fame as a musician and for his roles in the movie New Jack City and the TV series Law & Order: SVU, among others. Gallery, a division of Simon & Schuster, will publish the book July 19, 2022.
“I grew up in a very bad set of circumstances and my trajectory was that of a dangerous career criminal, not a famous actor and musician,” Ice-T said in a statement Tuesday. “It was one split decision that put me on a positive path that changed my life forever.”
Spike, who spent more than 20 years in prison before his release in 2016, said in a statement that the book was a story “of change, redemption and solidarity”.
“I hope we will inspire readers – especially at-risk youth – about the ripple effects of all our choices,” he said.
