Music shops across America are refusing to stock Ice-T's new album because of the raunchy image on the cover.

The 48-year-old rapper poses nude with his stripper wife Coco draped over him, barely covering his usually concealed weapon. Unless his record label places stickers over the album - which is titled Gangsta Rap and is his first in seven years - the legendary rapper faces a boycott by stores.

He said: "What can I say, I have been doing these kinds of things for years. You should see the picture when Coco's leg is not there."

The Eye is puzzled as to why Americans are outraged by a picture of a bum, yet they happily allowed the release of his 1992 single Cop Killer.
