Ice-T defends wife Coco Austin after people criticize her for Fourth of July outfit

Ice-T has come out in defense of his wife after she was criticized for her 4th July outfit.

Yesterday, the country marked 247 years since it shook off the yoke of British imperialism and went its own way.

Across the States, people marked the occasion in their own unique way, whether holding parties or enjoying a celebratory barbecue.

However, not everyone was too pleased with the attire Coco Austin wore while she observed the anniversary with a poolside post.

In a photo shared to her Instagram account, the rapper's wife can be seen wearing a white thong, heels, and a small red top, which the word 'Arizona' written across it, while holding two American flags.

Her post said: "Happy ‘4th Of July’ !! I’m celebrating in AZ.. Yes, it gets HOT outside."

And it was all a little too much for some people online, lots of who didn't appreciate the revealing get-up.

Another critic chipped in: "I can’t believe your husband is ok with you showing half of your munch and one day your kid too you beautiful you can be classy n sexy it’s time leave that in your room with your husband."

"She’s a mom! Do you want your daughter to dress like that? Think about it," put a third.
