Vanilla Ice<\/strong> recently said he once palled around with Pablo Escobar<\/strong>, but didn’t know he was a major drug kingpin — and his explanation boils down to … greenbacks put ya in a bubble.<\/p>\n

The rapper made the revelation in a VladTV<\/strong> interview, saying he used to party with the notorious Colombian gangster during his heyday in the ’90s … but insists he didn’t even realize how big a deal Escobar was back then — especially in the eyes of the feds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ice, aka Rob Van Winkle<\/strong>, says he hosted Pablo several times at his Florida home at the time — and on Tuesday, he joined us on “TMZ Live” to elaborate on what exactly they had in common as buddies.<\/p>\n

Watch, he says their shared love of speed boats actually drew them together at first, and he even gives credit to the drug trafficker for fueling innovations in boat racing … on account of how much money he poured into it at the time, making it kinda mainstream.<\/p>\n

\"Pablo<\/p>\n

As for when\/how he came to learn that Pablo wasn’t actually a great guy and might’ve been mixed up in shady business — well, Ice says it dawned on him when the FBI questioned him.<\/p>\n

Listen to his story for yourself, ’cause it’s wild. As Ice notes, this was before Google, so lots of people were in the dark about Mr. Escobar’s, umm … activities.<\/p>\n

Of course, Pablo was tracked down in Colombia in ’93 … where he was killed on a rooftop while being pursued by the authorities. He’d built a massive illicit empire, but on the backs of a lot of bodies and bloodshed … while spreading illegal narcotics all over the world.<\/p>\n

Sounds like Ice wasn’t aware of any of it — probably for the best, TBH. See no evil, right?<\/p>\n
