Miranda Lambert might not like it if you take a selfie at one of her shows, but it seems Vanilla Ice doesn't mind at all.
The rapper took a jab at Lambert during a show in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Friday, when he told fans to take all the selfies they wanted, People's Brenton Blanchet and Dana Rose Falcone reported.
On July 16, Lambert paused her Las Vegas residency performance to scold a group of fans taking a selfie, telling them they were "not listening to" her music.
Ice, 55, mentioned Lambert, 39, during his performance at the "I Love the '90s" concert alongside acts including Young MC and C&C Music Factory at the Ocean Casino Resort, according to People.
After performing "Ice Ice Baby," the rapper invited fans onstage, People reported, and told a group taking photos: "You can take all the selfies you want — this ain't no Miranda Lambert concert."
According to People, he referenced Lambert again in the show before going into the crowd, telling fans: "Turn it around like Miranda hates."
Representatives for Miranda Lambert and Vanilla Ice did not, respectively, immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Earlier this month, Lambert stopped singing "Tin Man" during a Las Vegas show to call out fans taking a photo. A video of the moment was shared on TikTok by user @redneckinvegas.
"I'm gonna stop right here for a second, I'm sorry," Lambert said in the video, captioned: "Miranda said its My Show."
"These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song," she added.
"Sorry, I don't like it at all," she continued. "We're here to hear some country music tonight. I'm singing some country damn music."
She was met with cheers at the concert, part of her Velvet Rodeo The Las Vegas Residency at Planet Hollywood, before she asked the audience, "Shall we start again?"
While the country singer seemed to get a positive reaction from fans at her show, there were mixed reactions in the comments section of the TikTok video — which has 3.7 million views as of Sunday.
One person commented that "she just earned a new fan," while another wrote that they attended one of Lambert's recent shows and said she "didn't even talk to" the audience and appeared to be "in a mood."
A woman who said she was in the group Lambert criticized told NBC News she was "appalled" by the star.
"It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place," Adela Calin, 43, said. "I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature, and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture."
"It was 30 seconds at most," she added. "We took the picture quickly and were going to sit back down."
