Ice T's Daughter Chanel Falls Fast Asleep Cuddling the Family Bulldog Sparty (PIC)
They're two peas in a pod!
If Ice T isn't careful, his daughter may become an even bigger star than her dad — it's happening right before his eyes!
In a sweet March 10 Instagram post shared on Chanel's officia account, the 9-year-old can be seen adorably cuddling one of her dogs as they both take a well-deserved nap.
"When I sleep I hold on to my Sparty like he is my mommy," read the caption.
Chanel, who has over 445,000 Instagram followers, looks like an angel as she snuggles up with her furry pal. The Ice T clan has three bulldogs and each one is cuter than the last! (And the pups have their own Instagram, too.)

Ice T's family shares plenty of photos of Chanel hanging out with her mom, Coco Austin, on the beach and even hanging out with her dad backstage during his Body Count concerts. Just like her parents, Chanel is extremely photogenic, and her hundreds of thousands of followers can't get enough of having an inside look at Ice T's life with his family!
On one hand, she's just your typical 9-year-old who gets embarrassed by her mom and dad during birthday parties. But on the other hand, she's a star-in-the-making who's well on her way to becoming even bigger than her superstar parents!
Ice T reveals what his closest friends call him
Although fans know him as Ice T, surprisingly, the people closest to the star don't!
During a 2011 interview with NPR, the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star revealed that his closest friends don't call him by his real name or even by his stage name. Although some people in his life call him Tracy, his "real" friends refer to him by "Trey" or "Berg" — short for "Iceberg." The star perfectly explained his close friends' reasoning.
"They're trying to let me know that they know me, you know, personally," Ice T said.

Even at a young age, Ice T acknowledged that "Tracy Lauren" — his real first and middle name — may be considered a girl's name, but he used a Johnny Cash record as an example that put all preconceptions about his name to rest.
"Johnny Cash had a record called Boy Named Sue, so if you give a boy any name that could be considered a girl's name, he's going to grow up tough," Ice T said.
