One month ago, Ashley Feinberg discovered Trapt's political meltdown that was just the distraction the metal world needed. It was fun for a while, and all of metalcore started ganging up on the guy. He threatened to sue a parody account, and then we were like okay, nothing can top this. Then, Trapt started fucking with Ice-T.
You can read the details here, but the gist is Trapt were saying they get more streams than Body Count, and then Ice-T finally took notice.
Dude.. Keep talkin. We’ll bump into each other one day. https://t.co/iA0OWA5Ahq

As soon as Ice "Talk Shit, Get Shot" T responded, Trapt seemed to, hilariously, back off.
So you are threatening me because I’m saying your stream counts are far lower than my band’s? Okay…. Wow
— TRAPT (@TRAPTOFFICIAL) April 14, 2020
He kept going after we posted.
Damn Ice T is threatening me for saying TRAPT has much higher streaming numbers… ? You can’t make this shit up! I said he was a great actor… Bodycount is a great group as well. Been around for a long time. Just don’t have the numbers trapt does. Kick my ass though for it… https://t.co/qCJHY4A4YQ

A few days ago, they vowed to focus on what got them to the dance – political issues! That didn't last long
I’ve let my emotions get the best of me when dealing with twitter trolls. My attitude’s been defensive and I have lashed out. I started this lil twitter journey with a plan 2 use this account 2 do what I can 2 support my President. I’ve gotten away from that goal. That’s over now

It led to this incredible exchange:
No that will never happen. We make too much money to ever do that. Plus it’s a real fun way to make a living. Very blessed

But back to this feud. Trapt was being real:
Oh and I’m telling you people, the more you talk about us, the higher our streaming numbers are going… I have a conversation with someone on Twitter, they tag Ice T and Ice T gets pissed at simply factual statements… whatever works homies. I never said anyone was “better.”

Rather than give Trapt any further publicity, Ice-T subtweeted Trapt, commenting on the situation:
ICE Cold Fact: Never confuse Popularity with Respect.
— ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) April 14, 2020
Trapt, then, uhh, said this:
Bro! You are so damn sensitive about fucking FACTS! Most of the people jumping on this bandwagon you created are posers. I stated facts. I stand by them! I don’t give a fuck if you or anyone on liberal Twitter respects me… Have I not made that clear by now?! ??♂️ https://t.co/Eh7hxnuIQb

And, then Ice-T gives the social media kill shot:
Dude.. I have no Fn idea who you are… https://t.co/LoMponkVSg
— ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) April 15, 2020
Ice-T – 2
Trapt – 0.
