PinkPantheress Explained Why Her Remix Of ‘Boy’s A Liar’ With Ice Spice Changed Her Opinion On Original Version

PinkPantheress checked a “false narrative” about her when a comment she made in an interview went viral, mischaracterizing her opinion on her fan-favorite breakout hit, “Boy’s A Liar,” and its remix with Ice Spice. In the interview with The Guardian, PinkPantheress is quoted saying, “They’re crap,” but after the comments went viral on Twitter, she had to step in and make her own correction.

“lord help us,” she wrote, adding a laughing emoji to show it wasn’t that serious. “I told the journalist I thought the OG was crap at first but the remix made me love it, I’ve said this openly before too.”

Perhaps she was worried that the comment would be received similar to Doja Cat’s comments. Ahead of the release of her new album Scarlet, the “Paint The Town Red” rapper called her two previous albums “cash-grabs” that fans “fell for.” Fans angrily responded by unfollowing her in droves on Instagram — although that didn’t stop her Scarlet Tour from selling out. (During a recent stop on the tour, she delivered a well-timed callback as she performed “Say So,” the breakout hit from her second album .)

However, perhaps PinkPantheress needn’t worry; after all, Billie Eilish also said something similar and her fans agreed when she said one of her biggest hits, “Bad Guy,” is “the stupidest song in the world.”

Ice Spice Gave Her First-Ever Live Performance Of Chart Hit ‘Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2’ At Rolling Loud California

Ice Spice is everywhere. The Bronx-bred star enjoyed her first-ever entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Gangsta Boo” featuring Lil Tjay, and she promptly outdid herself. Her “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2” remix with PinkPantheress topped the Apple Music charts and cracked the top 10 of the Hot 100 by the end of February, currently sitting at No. 3.

North West might be Ice Spice’s No. 1 fan, but Ice Spice won over loads more fans during her Rolling Loud California set on Sunday, March 5. She kicked things off with “Princess Diana,” flowing into “Gangsta Boo” and “Actin A Smoochie” before performing “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2” live for the first time.

“Make some noise for PinkPantheress!” Ice Spice said before starting the surging track, which was unintentionally kind of a cruel tease because PinkPantheress was not actually there to perform with her. “Y’all got us to Billboard. Make some noise for y’all self!”

Ice Spice rounded out her 13-minute set with “Bikini Bottom,” “Munch (Feelin’ U),” and “In Ha Mood” — all from her debut EP, Like…?, from January.

According to TMZ, Ice Spice succeeded so much in winning over her Rolling Loud California crowd that “one of ’em even attempted to rush the stage, until Ice’s bodyguards treated the guy like a true munch!!!”

Ice Spice Joins PinkPantheress For “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” Collaboration: Listen

It’s still relatively early in her career, but Ice Spice continues to achieve milestone after milestone. Not only did the New York native share her highly anticipated Like..? EP last month, but now she’s also got a collaboration with PinkPantheress under her belt as well.

On Friday (February 3), the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker joined the ethereal songstress on “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2.” The single is a remix of a prior release. It previously appeared on PP’s Take Me Home EP in late 2022.

“When it comes to collaborations, I’m quite picky. I always want someone who can match me well on a track,” the English multi-talent told NME of her new arrival with Spice.

“Even though Ice does drill, her flows are super unique and the beats she chooses are different. A lot of people would struggle with the beats I choose, but I knew she’d be good for it,” Pantheress later added.

For her part, the rapidly rising redheaded starlet comes in strong with clever bars during her verse. “And it been what it been / Callin’ his phone like, ‘Yo, send me your PIN,’” she spits in the track’s later half.

“Duckin’ my shit, ’cause he know what I’m on / But when he hit me I’m not gon’ respond,” Spice teases.

Along with the upbeat new joint song comes an accompanying music video. Throughout the footage, Spice takes Panthress on a tour of her home state.

Of course, the duo is surrounded by their “baddie friends” throughout their adventures. To boot, all of them are stylishly dressed for the occasion.
