Ice Spice is doing it up and doing it big. It was just announced via TMZ that the Bronx rapper will be attending tonight’s Met Gala. Not only that, she will be attending as a special guest of Anna Wintour herself. It is a huge honor for the rapper as many don’t ever get the honor of being a special guest of the person who controls the entire event. TMZ has also reported that the hitmaker will be wearing a custom-designed Balmain look.
Ice is everywhere these days. She is one of the latest viral sensations who is experiencing a huge amount of fame due to TikTok. Last year, she dropped her acclaimed EP, Like..?. Since then, Ice has been hailed as the new princess of rap. She has been praised by contemporaries and even given the co-sign by industry legends like Nicki Minaj. The duo recently released their collaboration, “Princess Diana.” The song was originally part of Ice’s EP, but Nicki hopped on the remix with a killer verse. This catapulted the song to the number 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Last night, Ice Spice posted a teaser video that hinted she would be attending the Met Gala. “Hi, It’s Ice Spice and I’m partnering with Vogue and eBay for a very special announcement coming to you on the first Monday in May,” Ice says in the video. “Join me for fashion’s biggest night out. You do not want to miss this. Stay tuned.” Fans were quick to point out just how big of a deal it was for someone as new to the scene as Ice to get invited.
“Ice Spice went from being dismissed as a meme and a ‘one hit wonder’ with Munch, but now she has 2 Top 10s and has 3 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at once, & also being invited to the met gala with NO ALBUM OUT,” one fan tweeted. “As an og fan, proud is an understatement of how i feel right now.” Another said, “Ice Spice isn’t just invited to the met gala my girl is getting SPONSORED by VOGUE. She has direct lines with Anna Wintour.” Clearly, as evidenced by the new report by TMZ, Ice will be in attendance. Stay tuned to HNHH for more Met Gala news and coverage!
