Ice-T hunting for Twitter imposter

Rapper-turned-actor Ice-T is hunting for an internet user posing as him on social networking website Twitter.com - insisting he would never write the "corny" messages posted on his fake page.

The 'Law & Order: SVU' star took friends' advice and created a profile on Twitter to help market his new record label, Final Level Music.

However, he was stunned to find there was already a page set up in his name.

"I went on Twitter... I found a dude on there named Ice-T, and he ain't (sic) even cool," he said.

"Dude's got my name and he's got a picture of me from Law & Order, but I'm looking at what he's writing and it's real corny and whack. And I'm like, if you're going to represent me, at least have some flavour, player."

Ice-T pressed ahead and completed setting up his own profile, but has already caught himself writing details about his personal life he wishes he could take back.

He said: "I get on Twitter and it's kind of like, there are people stalking me now? Because I'm saying stuff like: 'I'm going to the movies.' And then I'm like: 'Why did I just do that'?"
