Homeowners group takes foreclosure action against ex-rapper Vanilla Ice
WEST PALM BEACH — Vanilla Ice, a 1990s one-hit wonder who is using homes in Wellington’s tony Versailles neighborhood as a backdrop for his nationally televised home improvement show, has been sued by the community for not paying assessments.
In a foreclosure lawsuit filed this week in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, the homeowners association claims Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, owes it about $4,100. The association filed a lien against him in May when it claimed he owed $2,800. That same month, Van Winkle, transferred the deed to the 5,000-square-foot house on Trianon Place to Van-Rap Ltd., a Texas-based company, county property records show.
Van Winkle, who still performs when he’s not renovating homes for The Vanilla Ice Project, his DIY Network show, said the homeowners association should be suing the company, not him.
“I’m not linked to that house in any way shape or form,” said Van Winkle, who sang his way into the hearts of many prepubescent girls with the hit “Ice, Ice, Baby”. “If you print that, you would be inaccurate.”

Beware of the homeowners association…..they really play dirty….the homeowners association had my brother in law evicted from his townhouse….without even filing a foreclosure…..he never had a day in court..this was in 2009..my brother in law called one of those free attorneys ….this guy talked to him like he was a piece of shit…he questioned him like it was the Roman inquisition…(he had the phone on speaker and I was appalled by this so called attorney)….he sounded like a leg breaker for the mafia….a couple of weeks after the call my brother in law went to the recorders office to see if there were any liens on his deed and the recorders office told him…that someone recorded another deed!…. I checked his public records on line and they erased his entire title and reconveyed the property to a real estate agent…..we believe that guy was no attorney…he was a government agent..and he is who is responsible for that fraud….these people are evil beyond belief..never call one of those so called free attorneys for advice….looks like they are the clean up crew for the crooks…!
