Mom Is Slammed For 'Weird' Kiss With Her Little Daughter: ‘Goes Over The Line’

After posting a sweet Instagram video showing her daughter's love, rapper Ice-T's wife, Coco, was heavily criticized. Netizens wasted no time telling the mother of one that she was wrong for posting the video and sharing the moment with her daughter.

Rapper Ice-T and his wife, Coco, welcomed a daughter named Chanel several years ago after marrying in 2002. The family has often shared snaps of their lives, but Coco's most recent post has caused controversy.

Coco posted a video of herself and Chanel in a swimming pool. The video was taken underwater, and Coco mentioned that she was having fun experimenting with the features of her new cell phone.

In the video, Chanel and Coco can be seen swimming underwater and then sharing a hug and some kisses. While some thought the moments were sweet, others were horrified at what they saw.

What Happened in the Video?

Chanel, now seven, and her mother shared a sweet moment in a pool, but many believed it was sinister. In the video, Chanel swims up to her mother and pulls her in for a hug.

Coco then holds her daughter close around her waist as her daughter holds her face and kisses her as the two float up to the water's surface. Coco shared:

"Chanel just loves kissing her mama, doesn't she? She is adorable. She is my obsession."

The post was met with many fans commenting on how sweet their relationship was and how beautiful the video of them swimming underwater was. However, many netizens believed the footage was unsavory.

Although commenters talked about how sweet the mother-daughter moment was, some thought the video was inappropriate and shared their views about Coco showering her daughter affectionately.

What Did Fans Say?

While 44-year-old Coco thought that the video of her and her daughter was something innocent that she could share with her fans to show her pride in her daughter and the fun they had together, many fans thought differently.

Coco received comments telling her that the video was "extremely weird," as another comment read:

"I think giving your child a [little] kiss on the lip is a loving and healthy way to show affection… BUT holding the kiss for longer [than a second] is too much and goes over the line."

Some other commenters said the video looked creepy and that parents should not kiss their children on the mouth; instead, they should embrace and kiss them on their cheeks. One fan said that if Ice-T had kissed his daughter like that, he would have been imprisoned.

While Coco received many critical remarks, some praised her for being affectionate with her daughter. Some fans said they had never had fun with their parents, and seeing Coco being there for her daughter in that way was remarkable.

Other fans said that the people who found the video creepy or weird were those whose parents had not hugged or kissed them enough when they were children, and they now had an issue with affection.

One commenter said they still kissed their mother on the lips as a grown woman and focused the same attention on their four-year-old twins because they thought it was important to show them love whenever possible.

Apart from those defending Coco and telling her that they wished for a relationship as she had with her daughter, others talked about how Coco had inspired them to become parents and raise their children, similarly to how she raised Chanel.

This is not the first time Coco has received backlash surrounding her daughter. In 2021, she was criticized when she revealed that she still breastfed then-five-year-old Chanel when she wanted to. She shared:

“It’s a big bonding moment for a mother and your child. [She] likes a little snack every now and again. … Why take that away from her? If she doesn’t want it, all right, that’s where you stop it. But I’m not just going to say no.”

Ice-T defended his wife then, saying that everyone had different styles of parenting and that nobody should pay any attention to what they read on the internet. In 2022, Coco was also criticized for bathing her daughter in the kitchen sink. Through it all the family has remained tightly knit and defends one another fiercely.

Coco and Ice-T have had a long and successful marriage, despite both of them being unlucky in love before. You can find the full history of their marriage here.
