Vanilla Iceis all for selfies.
As Ice invited fans to join him onstage after performing his signature hit during the “I Love the ‘90s” concert — which also included sets from Rob Base, Tone Loc, Young MC and C&C Music Factory — he name-dropped Lambert, 39.
“You can take all the selfies you want — this ain’t no Miranda Lambert concert," Ice said to fans who snapped a few photos at the Ocean Casino Resort, which celebrated its fifth anniversary this summer.
Later in the show, while he covered “24K Magic,” the musician also let concert goers know he would enter the crowd to take a few more pics. “Turn it around like Miranda hates," he said of fans' phones.

Lambert went viral last week for pausing a show in Vegas before playing her 2016 track “Tin Man.”
“I’m gonna stop right here for a second, I’m sorry,” she said at the time. “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song.”
“It’s pissing me off a little bit,” thePalominosinger continued. “Sorry, I don’t like it. At all. We’re here to hear some country music tonight. I’m singing some country damn music.”

Jacqueline Whitmore, a longtime etiquette expert, has since told PEOPLE that fans should “be respectful to the artists who are performing because not only did you pay a lot of money to be there, other people did.”
“So if it gets in the way of a performer’s ability to perform or if it gets in the way of others' enjoyment, it becomes a problem. Regardless of what the offense is, that’s the bottom line,” she said.
Whitmore added that attendees need to be “mindful” and keep some “don’ts” in mind.
“Flash photography is one of those don’ts, talking on a cell phone is a big don’t, throwing things at other people and at the performers specifically,” she said.
“Adults leaving trash around your area is a don’t — clean up after yourself. Avoid talking loudly and becoming a distraction, that’s a don’t. It’s the basics. It’s not even rocket science. It’s common sense. But people just don’t seem to have that anymore.”
