Ice T's Nightmare Fuel: Resident Evil Requiem's Spider Has the Rapper Feeling the Heat

Grammy-winning rap icon Ice T is facing a formidable foe in Resident Evil Requiem—the game's notorious spider. Following IGN's report that the title is causing distress for players with arachnophobia, the rapper and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star has come forward to share his own struggles.

In a social media post last night, Ice T exclaimed, 'Resident Evil 9… F*** that Spider 🕷️,' likely after a tense encounter with the arachnid boss. This marks a shift from his earlier enthusiasm; over the weekend, he had praised the game, writing, 'I've been playing Resident Evil 9. Reminds me of the 1st one. Has me stressed the F out… Lol You know it's bad when you have Dreams about the s***! lol #APPROVED 👍'

Ice T isn't alone in this arachnid-induced anxiety. Many Resident Evil fans are grappling with the game's eight-legged antagonist, which is undeniably creepy. Warning: Spoilers for Resident Evil Requiem lie ahead.
