Sh*ts weird to me’ – Ice T comes for hall of Fame singer Lenny Kravitz after he confessed to being celibate for 9 years
Hollywood actor, Ice-T has strongly criticized Lenny Kravitz after the American Hall of Fame Singer, who hasn’t been married since his 1993 divorce from Lisa Bonet, recently revealed he’s been celibate for 9 years.
Lenny explained that his tumultuous relationship with romance served as a major reason for his decision to be celibate.
The 60-year-old rock star told The Guardian that he’s struggled with the infidelity “curse” his father, Sy Kravitz, put on him. When he discovered that his father was cheating on his mother, actress Roxie Roker, Sy glibly told Lenny that he would end up doing the same thing.
“He became right. After the marriage, I became more like him. I was becoming a player,” Lenny said of his dating life after divorcing Lisa Bonet in 1993. “I didn’t like it. I didn’t want to be that guy. So I had to tackle that and it took years.”
Lenny added that he took “responsibility” for his behaviour and learned not to let his desires “take over.”
This resulted in Lenny not being in a serious relationship for nine years. The Blue Electric Light singer has spoken about embracing celibacy for several years; he first mentioned abstaining from sex until marriage in 2008, saying he had not had sex in the previous three years.
“[It’s] just a promise I made until I get married. Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit,” Lenny told Maxim in 2008. “It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.”
However, in 2011, he told Details that his remarks got “blown out of proportion.”
The singer says he’s still practising celibacy as he waits for the right partner. “It’s a spiritual thing,” he shared, adding that although he would “love” to be in a relationship now, he thinks he might struggle. “I have become very set in my ways, in the way I live.”
Actor, Ice-T took to social media to react to the information Lenny shared during an interview with The Guardian.
