Is Ice-T Dril? An Exhaustive Investigation

A theory has been making its way around Twitter over the last few years. It suggests that Ice-T and Dril are kindred spirits, or perhaps even the same person. And indeed, there are some suspicious similarities between the Body Count frontman and the anonymous internet auteur. Both masterfully use the medium of Twitter to dole out brilliant gems of unsolicited advice, irreverent brain droppings, and absurdist armchair commentary.

Neither is the type to kiss and tell:

But they are the type to get in fights on the bus:
