Ice‑T Hosts A&E’s ‘Fame and Fentanyl’ as Documentary Premieres Today

Ice‑T turns personal loss into a public‑education push against lethal fentanyl.

Overview

  • The two-hour A&E special premieres Monday, Aug. 25, with Ice‑T hosting and narrating.
  • Ice‑T says the project is driven by the sudden overdose deaths of friends Coolio in 2022 and Michael K. Williams in 2021.
  • The film emphasizes that very small amounts of illicit fentanyl can be fatal and calls for clear education to prevent deaths.
  • A&E says the program explores high‑profile cases and family testimonies, naming Prince, Angus Cloud, Tom Petty, and Michael K. Williams, alongside interviews with experts and agents.
  • Ice‑T plans follow‑up outreach at CrimeCon on Sept. 6–7, where he will host the event’s CLUE Awards.
