11. Vanilla Ice rose to fame incredibly quickly with “Ice, Ice, Baby” in 1990, but he attracted controversy just as quickly. First, reported details about his past (namely that he had a rough background) were proven false. His music also was criticized for being white-washed and “mainstream.” Then, Jim Carrey parodied him on In Living Color, he had a disastrous appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, and he was the subject of a diss track by 3rd Bass. Finally, he starred in the panned film Cool as Ice, which effectively ended his movie career before it began.
He then attempted a career in motocross, jet skiing, and reality TV and had multiple run-ins with the law. While he did attempt a comeback, it was unsuccessful, and his career never recovered.
