Ice Spice Drops New Collabs With NLE Choppa And Anuel AA On ‘Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe)’

Ice Spice came through with a Christmas gift this year: Yesterday (December 25), she released Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe).

The release features five new songs, including “Hannah Montana” with NLE Choppa and DaBaby, as well as “Popa remix” with Anuel AA.

Back in 2022, Choppa released a song named after Ice Spice. In a 2023 interview, he said of her (as HipHopDX notes), “I got her number, I hit her personally, we talking about music. I don’t text her no more. She changed her number so I like from a distance. She do a lot of big things…Would I date her?…If she wanna go.” In a different interview, he spoke about Ice changing her number, saying, “I mean, she ain’t change it on me! People change their number. Was I part [of] the reason? I don’t know. Probably. You never know.”

Ice Spice Freestyle From The Block Draws More Concerns

Ice Spice Gifts Fans With “Y2K! I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe)” On Christmas

Ice Spice has had a complicated year. She was one of the biggest rap stars of 2023, and dropped her debut album earlier this year. An underwhelming first week, coupled with social media drama, has led to a dip in popularity, though. Ice Spice has been relatively quiet on the music front since the summer. But she is back for Christmas, and she’s got a lot more music. The rapper decided to repackage her debut album, Y2K!, with new artwork and handful of colorful new pop-rap bangers.

Y2K!, now dubbed I’m Just a Girl (Deluxe) has all the songs included on the original version. The bonus songs do go a long way in improving the album, though. “Hannah Montana” is a standout group cut with standout verses from NLE Choppa and DaBaby. The energy both guest rappers bring to the track does a lot to boost it, but Ice Spice’s chilled out proves to be a nice switch up. She also sounds good alongside Anuel AA on the Spanish crossover song “Popa (Remix).” It’s a direction we haven’t really gotten to hear much of, but Ice Spice acclimates better than one might expect. The solo bonus cuts are also pretty fun, including “So What?” and “Like.”

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Asap Rocky Lands The ‘Main Role’ In Spike Lee’s Upcoming Film ‘Highest 2 Lowest’

The official release date for Asap Rocky’s album Don’t Be Dumb is up in the air. But, there is a more certain project featuring the “Tailor Swif” rapper on the way.

According to Deadline, Asap Rocky’s return to film is approaching. During a sit down with outlet acclaimed director Spike Lee confirmed Asap Rocky’s involvement in his forthcoming film, Highest 2 Lowest.

In Lee’s words, Rocky will star in the picture’s “main role.” Others slated to appear in the film include Ice Spice (which was announced in April), Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, and Denzel Washington.

Although Lee is remaining tight-lipped about the film’s production details, he wants to stress it is not a remake.

“This is not a remake,” he told the outlet. “This is a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s great film.”

Lee continue to detail the differences between the works, saying: “In Kurosawa’s film, Toshiro Mifune is a shoemaker. In our film Denzel Washington is a music mogul with his own label and his reputation as the best ears in the business. So, this is the fifth film with the dynamic duo.”

If Don’t Be Dumb isn’t out by then, maybe Asap Rocky can cook up a soundtrack for the picture.

Ice Spice Had A Hilarious Clapback For Body Shamers Upset By Her Recent Weight Loss

When the world first met Ice Spice, she probably attributed her curvy physique to one food favorite. “I’m thick ’cause I be eating oats,” she continuously rapped. However, the “Popa” rapper has seemingly changed her eating habits and has been frequenting the gym. Now, Ice Spice is equally proud to show off her slim thick figure.

However, not everyone is fond of her results. Recently, trolls online have been making unsettling remarks about Ice Spice’s body. So, yesterday (December 6) Ice Spice took to her Instagram stories to clap back at the body shamers. Using a SpongeBob Squarepants (a beloved reference for her) meme, Ice Spice shut down those suggesting that she lost her sex appeal.

The post depicts a nauseating version of the beloved sea sponge (viewable here courtesy of TMZ) with the heading: “Nah she mid, bro.”

Without working up a sweat Ice Spice subtly pointed out most of the haters commenting on her looks have more pressing personal beauty regimen to attend to.

Back in August, Ice Spice also addressed a rumor that she was using Ozempic to shed pounds during an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces chat. “I wish y’all never learned the word ‘Ozempic,’” she said. “That’s one thing I wish. Oh my god, like, what even is Ozempic? What the f*ck is that? Like, genuinely, what is that, bro? Like, you lazy [expletive] never heard of a gym? It’s called the gym, it’s called eating healthy, it’s called being on tour. Like, what the hell? Maybe if I was sitting home all day, it would be easier to stay big.”

Ice Spice Tantalizes Fans With Thirst Traps From Dubai Vacation

Ice Spice has been quiet on the music front since dropping her debut album in July. She has been plenty busy, however. The rapper has been touring the world, and keeping fans updated on her exploits via IG. She makes sure to post photos from each of her stops. Her latest batch of photos, has stood out from the rest. Ice Spice decided to turn up the heat during her recent stop in Dubai. She posted a ton of eye catching photos, and fans and artists alike flocked to the comment section with praise.

Ice Spice posted a dozen photos from her stay in Dubai. Some of them including her riding dirt bikes and partying, while others saw her holding a baby tiger. But it was the thirst traps that definitely garnered her the most praise. “Cute, sexy, c**ty,” Saweetie wrote in the comments. Tons of superstar artists also liked the post, including Tyga, GloRilla, Camilla Cabello and SZA. The glowing attention is a positive change of pace for Ice Spice, who has been the subject of intense scrutiny throughout 2024. Her album, Y2K, was considered a major disappointment in terms of sales.

Ice Spice’s Post Was Liked By Several Rap Peers

The album only sold 28K in its first week, which led to widespread debate as to whether Ice Spice was the star that many touted her to be. She clapped back at the haters following the album’s release, and made it clear she was proud of her sales. She also correctly pointed out that the album was sold more than her debut EP. “Thank u to everyone who supported me then & thank u to all the new supporters,” she tweeted. “WORLD TOUR been so fun that these numbers are cool but b*tch u should of seen that Boston CROWD last night.”

Unfortunately, Ice Spice’s streaming numbers have also gone down since the release of her album. AllHipHop reported that the rapper’s monthly Spotify listens dropped from 47 million in August 2023 to 15 million in July. That’s a decline of over 30 million. The rapper’s star is not quite as bright as it was this time last year, but she’s continuing to hustle and have fun. Her peers, some of which have been in the game for over a decade, appear to be in support.

Ice Spice Joins Eminem, Juice WRLD, And Snoop Dogg As The Newest ‘Fortnite’ Character Skin

The ever-popular multiplayer shooter Fortnite got a new, rap-related facelift today, as Shark Island was turned into Ice Isle in celebration of the addition of rapper Ice Spice as a playable character. Two Rap Princess skins are now available for purchase in the game’s store, inspired by her looks in the videos for “Deli” and Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr (Remix).” She’s also got a themed Grappler and Rifle.

In an interview with Billboard about the new additions, Ice said she earned some “big sister cool points” from her younger siblings who play the game and said she’s “grateful to stand next to icons,” including Eminem and Snoop Dogg, who are also in the game. Also included in Chapter 2 Remix is the long-awaited debut of Juice WRLD. The rappers were included as part of the Chapter 2 Remix rollout, which kicked off with an event in New York City earlier this month and the initiative will continue through the month of November. You can see a recap video of the performance below.

Earlier this year, the game partnered with Don Toliver for a game mode inspired by his new album HardStone Psycho.

The Best Halloween Costumes From Female Rappers In 2024

Over the decades, Halloween’s meaning has changed drastically. Today, the holiday is largely about expressing creativity. For entertainers like Heidi Klum and Janelle Monáe, that sometimes means hours of prosthetic and special effects makeup. But they aren’t the only celebrities that take the day especially seriously.

This year, dozens of women rappers put their best efforts forward for some attention-grabbing looks. Continue below for a list of some of the rappers’ best looks (revealed so far).

Megan Thee Stallion

As the leader of Hottieween herself, Megan Thee Stallion sported several viral looks, including Teen Titans’ Starfire (which earned a co-sign from James Gunn). Meg also revealed her anime inspired costume as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure‘s Trish Una (viewable here) online. But for her annual Hottieween charity party, she showed up as a genie (viewable here).

Cardi B

Cardi B served on Halloween as Jessica Rabbit (viewable here).

Doja Cat

Doja Cat delivered her own kooky spin on Halloween as the sunflower from Conker’s Bad Fur Day (viewable here).

GloRilla

GloRilla took an alternate route, dressing as Flo from the Progressive commercials (viewable here). Big Glo as Flo.

Latto

For Uproxx cover star Latto, she sported two looks for Halloween. To party, the rapper was Jessica Rabbit (viewable here), as well as a Playboy bunny on stage during a Brooklyn concert (viewable here).

Coi Leray

Fellow Uproxx cover star Coi Leray used the occasion to dress up as Halle Berry in Catwoman (viewable here).

Saweetie

Joker: Folie à Deux be damned: No portrayal of DC’s supervillain the Joker will outdo the late Heath Ledger’s depiction in The Dark Knight. Saweetie seems to agree as she dressed up as the mad man (viewable here) for Halloween.

Ice Spice

Ice Spice kept it in the ginger family as Leeloo from The Fifth Element (viewable here).

Sexyy Red

Maiya The Don

To round things out, Scar Lip created a Halloween spread as Lauryn Hill (viewable here), re-creating several of the Grammy Award winner’s iconic photo shoots over the years.

Ice Spice Debuted A Switch To Her Signature Look With Some Racy Photos At The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

For the past couple of years, Ice Spice’s signature look has been so well-recognized that even random women with curly orange hair were catching cries of “Ice Spice” on the street from moving vehicles. However, it looks like the redheads of the world will soon be safe once again, as the Bronx rapper has apparently switched up her swag, as debuted at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night, and shared in a new set of “girls’ night out” photos she posted to Instagram. Ice’s hair is still curly like Betty Boop’s but now, it’s brunette, allowing her to be a bit more low-key — at least, from the neck down. Her outfit in the new flicks is pretty NSFW, so you can check it out here as long as it manages to avoid the Instagram censors.

A new look might do Ice Spice some good; since her breakout with “Munch,” she’s had her share of hits, but her buzz seemingly fizzled ahead of the release of her debut album Y2K earlier this year. Singles like “Oh Sh…” with Travis Scott, and “Popa” failed to reach the heights of “Barbie World,” and Y2K sold less in its first week than Ice’s previous EP, Like…?. She’s said she’s already ready to start working on a new album, though, and maybe her fresh look can help give her a fresh start for the next phase of her career.
