Ice Spice Throwback Photos Surface On Twitter, Give Glimpse Into Bronx Baddie’s Humble Past

Because she rose to fame at such a rapid rate, little is known about the early life of Ice Spice. She was born Isis Naija Gaston on the first day of the year 2000. While many simply love her for making bad bitch bops like “Bikini Bottom” and “In Ha Mood,” others have been dying to know more about her past, and what led her to become one of the Bronx’s most prominent rising drill artists. Thankfully, internet sleuths have been able to unearth old photos of Spice, showing just how much change has taken place since her low-key childhood in New York.

We’ve already seen some of the 23-year-old’s high school yearbook photos (which markedly had users drawing comparisons to Lauren London), as well as images of her on the volleyball court. Prior to blowing up thanks to “Munch (Feelin’ U),” Spice was a talented athlete who played for both Sacred Heart High School in Yonkers and the State University of New York at Purchase. While she’s left those skills behind in favour of pursuing rap, she recently said that her initial dream was acting. This is something the Spice Cabinet hopes she still chases, especially now that she’s well-known within the industry.

Among them were candids snapped of her applying mascara in the mirror, throwing up peace signs while goofing off with friends, and letting her naturally brunette curls blow in the breeze while posing for photos outside. Apart from the childhood snapshots, Twitter user @icesmood also included more recent content of Spice before fame, which finds her sporting platinum blonde hair and putting her rap skills on display.

“And ending off with the ‘Thriller’ of our generation,” they previously wrote atop the thread’s final part, including a video of the rap diva twerking her behind in a cutout-clad two-piece black suit. The footage comes from the visual for “No Clarity,” which was produced by RIOTUSA and released in November 2021.
