Rapper Ice-T tweeted on Tuesday that he 'almost shot' an independent contractor making an Amazon delivery to his home on Monday because the person wasn't wearing a uniform.

Ice, as he is commonly called, said, 'that s**t ain't safe,' referring to someone coming up to his home in unmarked clothing to deliver something he presumably ordered online.

Amazon's Senior Vice President of Operations Dave Clark saw the tweet and responded in a casual manner, mirroring Ice's language before saying, 'Lots of innovations coming on this and many that already exist to help you track your package and delivery on a map.'

DailyMail.com reached out to Amazon for additional comment but did not immediately receive a reply.

The media mogul whose legal name is Tracy Lauren Marrow tweeted on Tuesday:

'Message To Amazon: Now that you have regular people making your home deliveries.. Maybe they should wear a Vest with AMAZON DELIVERY on it..... I almost shot a MF creeping up to my crib last night.... Just sayin.'

Someone assuming it was a male delivery person then asked Ice T, 'Was he not wearing a delivery man uniform?'

Someone assuming it was a male delivery person then asked Ice T, 'Was he not wearing a delivery man uniform?' and Ice who lives in New Jersey replied, 'No. They don’t wear ANY uniform. Just regular people workin.. I ain’t mad at them. Just sayin. That s**t ain’t safe..'

Amazon outsources some of its deliveries to independent contracts who use their own vehicles to drop off orders, and make those deliveries wearing their own attire.

In contrast, staff employees of Amazon do have a specific uniform and drive a marked vehicle.

On social media, some said the people who deliver their Amazon packages typically wear certain hats or vests indicating they're working for the company.

But that's not the case everywhere, as Ice who lives in New Jersey replied, 'No. They don’t wear ANY uniform. Just regular people workin.. I ain’t mad at them. Just sayin. That s**t ain’t safe..'

DailyMail.com reached out to several New Jersey agencies regarding whether the localities or state had any regulations concerning attire worn by independent delivery personnel. None of the representatives we spoke with thought any existed.

In many major cities delivery workers don't wear designated delivery attire.

In New York City, for example, its common for food delivery workers to arrive in plain clothes with whatever dish has been summoned over the internet.

The accepted consensus seems to be that if you've ordered something, you should be expecting it to be delivered, so you shouldn't be surprised when it arrives.

When Amazon's Clark saw Ice's comment, he replied, 'Just sayin…thanks for the suggestion. We MF’ing love you and our drivers. Lots of innovations coming on this and many that already exist to help you track your package and delivery on a map. Thanks for being a customer.'

Amazon does have tracking available for its varied delivery options, ranging from Prime Now, which promises delivery within a two-hour window in certain cities, or regular shipping through Amazon.com.

Ice didn't specify what kind of delivery he received that caught him by surprise to the point of making him feel threatened enough to mention gun violence.
