Ice-T Shuts Down ‘Law & Order’ Fan Who Says ‘SVU’ Has Gone Woke: ‘What the F Is Woke? Like I Give a F–k’
If you’re a fan of “Law & Order: SVU” and you think the sex crime drama series has gotten more “woke” over its 25 seasons, star Ice-T doesn’t give a you-know-what.
The rapper and actor slammed a fan’s inquiry Tuesday into whether the franchise will return to its apparent roots, stating that they feel the series has become too politically correct.
“Did they write ‘SVU’ back to normal yet? It started to go woke,” wrote X user Nicole T.
“What the F is woke?” Ice-T responded in a quote tweet. “Lol like I give a f–k.”

The Aug. 27 tweet that triggered his response was itself responding to an Aug. 1 post from the entertainer sharing a behind-the-scenes photo of filming the new season of “SVU.”
“Seems like everyone is at the Olympics … I’m at work. SVU on location. Season 26,” he wrote at the time.
