Rapper, reality TV star and Palm Beach County resident Vanilla Ice — real name, Rob Van Winkle — tweeted during the Democratic debate Tuesday night, dropping a pun from his biggest hit.

“I think all candidates Democrat Republican or Independent need to all just stop collaborate and listen. HeeHee,” he tweeted, a play off his 1990 hit “Ice, Ice Baby.”

Vanilla Ice tweeted a few other times during the debate, commenting on who would win and the “strange candidates” on the stage, while throwing some support behind Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
