In 2024, some observers have noticed that Ice Spice is looking thinner than she did in 2023. Inevitably and unfortunately, the rapper has been subject to speculation about the cause of the change. Given that diabetes drug Ozempic has become popular as a weight-loss tool, some believe that’s where Ice turned, but now she’s saying that’s not the case.

As XXL notes, during an X Spaces session yesterday (August 19), Ice said (find the audio here), “I wish y’all never learned the word ‘Ozempic.’ 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.”

As Ice noted in that quote, she has a lot going on at the moment. She recently launched her Y2K! World Tour and released her Y2K! album. She’s already looking forward, too, saying in a recent interview, “I am definitely so ready to start another album. So that’s great. I know my label is gonna be really excited to hear that. I don’t wanna start teasing the next album, we in Y2K!.”

Ice Spice And PartyNextDoor Link Up, Fans Speculate On Collaboration

by

Ice Spice performed at Terminal 5 in her hometown of New York City on August 7, the first of a two-night home stand at the venue during her Y2K! Tour. Producer Cash Cobain opened for her. However, he was not the only guest on the night. Fellow New Yorkers Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Fivio Foreign also performed, turning the night into a celebration of the new New York. Additionally, R&B star PartyNextDoor made an appearance at the show. He sang a medley of his most popular songs, including “Break From Toronto.”

After the show, PartyNextDoor posted a picture of him and Ice Spice together backstage on Instagram. “Get it while it’s hot,” the caption reads. This led to fans speculating that the two of them have music on the way. The thought of the two of them collaborating led to an overwhelmingly negative reaction from PND fans. “Should’ve been Summer Walker instead,” reads the most liked comment on the post. “ABSOLUTELY NOT. She gon’ get party to start talking bout farts,” said a second user. “Coulda did a collab with ANYBODY else,” said a third Instagram user.

During a guest set at a PartyNextDoor show in Toronto earlier this month, Drake announced that the two of them were releasing a joint album towards the end of 2024. “When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you,” he told the crowd to a raucous reception. Because of Drake’s prior announcement and the OVO signee performing at her concert, additional speculation arose about if Ice Spice is appearing on their album. Drake co-signed Ice earlier into her career, so it is possible.

For Ice Spice, the Y2K! Tour started in the beginning of July, before her album of the same name even released. You can read our review of the album here. Ice Spice’s shows in New York City are sold out, marking a very successful homecoming for the artist. We’ll see if anything more comes from the photo of the two or if it was nothing more than that.

Queen Barb Nicki Minaj is being accused of throwing shade towards millennial rap queen Ice Spice after the Y2K! star commented on one of Minaj’s post and she ignored it, which was embarrassingly obvious to everyone paying attention.

Minaj posted a throwback pic of herself on her Instagram page yesterday(August 4) for her 229M followers, captioning the post, “17 years ago [ribbon emoji] Crimped my own hair [tick emoji] Did my own makeup [tick emoji] 2 padded bras to make my boobs look bigger [tick emoji] Barbz!!!!”

Fans and artists alike, including Sexxy Red, Kim Petras, Akbar V and even Ice Spice, commented on Nicki’s 20-year-old pic and Nicki liked all of their comments except Ice’s.

Fans were the first to notice that Nicki ignored Spice’s smiley face and and heart eye emoji comment, which has now been removed from the post. Either Ice deleted her comment or Nicki removed it, but the two are still following each other on Instagram.

Fans on social media were quick to react, with one commenting, “She being ignored deliberately ice’s comment has the most likes…oh this is messy.”

Another wrote, “She is the only one without a like [crying face emoji] Nicki is sick.”

An apparent Ice Spice fan claimed that Nicki was jealous of the “Munch” rapper, saying, “She’s taking Nicki’s spot. She already won. Nicki is 40+… her run has to end just like Beyonces and all the greats.”

Ice Spice Continues To Drive The Internet Mad With New IG Post Amid Central Cee Cheating Allegations

by

While Ice Spice certainly possesses a massive fanbase, it feels like the wave of haters is growing by the second. Soon, it may wash away a substantial amount of her appeal as a figure in hip-hop. Overall, a great number of people are becoming more frustrated with the fact that she has become so popular off of what many consider mediocre art. The sales projections and review of her recently released debut album Y2K! are definitely reflecting that sentiment. Also not helping Ice Spice is the mess she has put herself in regarding Central Cee.

Over a month ago, dating rumors were sparked between these two drill rappers after a handful of social media posts. However, after learning more about their relationship, the belief was that it was a result of Cench cheating. The UK artist’s now ex-girlfriend, social media influencer Madeline Argy, has claimed to be totally blindsided throughout this development. After she was played lyrics, possibly from Spice and Cee’s collab “Did It First”, she began to piece things together. While Spice has confirmed that it was more of a PR stunt, Argy was fed up with Cee for hiding all of this information from him.

Because of everything we mentioned, the New Yorker is now more of a villain than ever before. Her latest photo dump on Instagram post her debut LP release and the Cee drama is proof of that. “He got a 🙄 but he kno i dont tell”, Spice pens. This set a lot of users off, as almost every comment underneath it is one of negativity. Some are calling out for her questionable poop and cheating bars and others are showing love to Madeline Argy instead. “Ok poopy pants”, one hilariously jokes. Another takes it there, writing, “Do you rap about pooping so much bc you’re on ozempic”. The “Argy Army” also gets in on the action, “Atleast madz doesn’t post herself half naked for attention”.

What are your thoughts on Ice Spice’s latest Instagram post alluding to the Central Cee cheating rumors? Do you think that the UK rapper actually ditched his ex for the New York native?

Mustard Claimed Album Sales Were ‘A Form Of White Supremacy,’ But Fans Believe The Producer’s Declaration Has Other Ego-Driven Roots

Mustard produced Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” However, it seems that momentum hasn’t translated over into his personal projects.

On July 26, the acclaimed producer dropped his latest album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. Now, the first week sells projections are supposedly in. According to Akademiks, the body of work sold 18k units.

As users online began to declare the album a “flop,” Mustard made a bold claim on his personal X (formerly Twitter) page. “Album sales are a form of white supremacy you n****s racist,” he wrote.

He then sent a jab Drake’s way before turning his attention to Akademiks, writing: “Drake is the Malcolm X of white people 😂 and Akademiks make sure you post Gordo’s first week since Drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me 😂.”

However, fans didn’t let Mustard’s first declaration pass without pushing back. One pointed out that Ice Spice’s debut album Y2K out sold his, to which he was left speechless.

Many began to dogpile Mustard as they referenced his past reaction to his 2019 album, Perfect Ten, first week sells.

“Now it’s racism, should’ve got Carti up there again, maybe you would’ve moved some units,” penned one user.

“It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well, you’d be flexing your sales 😂😂😭😭,” laughed another.

“No album sales represent if your audience / the marketplace actually like what you produce. Clearly they don’t like you. Stop playing the race card,” chimed another.

But several people jumped in to side with Mustard. “Too many people take numbers way too seriously. Let the music speak,” argued one user.

“Plenty of artists drop projects that have low sales In the beginning for it to go platinum later,” added another.

“I hate how people use album sales as a metric to grade how good and powerful the music is. If you changed one person’s life while they listened to any of the tracks, you already won, man,” wrote one user.

The public’s tracking of first week sells has been used to instigate multiple rap feuds.

Faith Of A Mustard Seed is out on now via 10 Summers Records and Interscope.

Ice Spice Has Listeners Plugging Their Ears After Dropping “GYAT”

by

Even though there are a lot of Ice Spice fans coming to her defense, especially over the last seven days, the critics are still quite loud. The New York rapper basically had the entire hip-hop community either groaning or anxiously awaiting the release of her debut album Y2K! It had been relentlessly teased and pushed by the media, essentially billing it to be one of the major tapes for 2024 overall. Sadly, for Spice and her team, many of the reviews have been extremely negative. Many pointed to the fact that its one-dimensional and way too short making it a popcorn project. However, with her still being one of biggest names out, delivering some sort of deluxe on bonus edition was practically inevitable. Well, that is what Ice Spice is doing, dropping potentially the lone track for it, “GYAT”.

Clocking in at just 1:55, “GYAT” raps exactly what you’d expect Ice Spice to rap about, her butt. Making this track even more forgettable is the overly repetitive refrain. “She throwin’ it (Back, back, back)
She throwin’ it (Back, back, that a**) Haters get (Back, back) Haters get (Back, back)“. Like the original set on Y2K!, the writing is vapid on “GYAT”, but maybe even worse is the lack of energy. She sounds just as uninterested as the listeners are in what she has to say. “Girl just get a ghost writer”, one IG commenter demands. “U lucky u fine asf bra . Yo music so poop”, another adds. Still, give the song a shot and see what you think.

“GYAT”- Ice Spice

Quotable Lyrics:

Got out the hood and I ain’t going back
Built like a Barbie, but act like a brat
You know I’m the baddest, like, keep it a stack
If it ain’t ’bout money, I ain’t talkin’ ’bout that
I be poppin’, you b****es be flat
I be shakin’, and he like, “Gyatt” (‘Yatt, ‘yatt, ‘yatt, that a**)

Spotify’s New Art Exhibit For Women In Rap Has Fans Questioning Nicki Minaj’s Absence

by

Spotify’s new exhibit honoring women in hip-hop had a glaring omission, and some fans are pretty upset about it. The Gold Standard Exhibition has taken over The Hole Gallery in New York City with portraits painted by Manon Biernacki, who depicted Cardi B, City Girls, Doja Cat, Flo Milli, GloRilla, Ice Spice, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Saweetie, and Sexyy Red in a realist style reminiscent of Renaissance paintings. However, when images from the show hit social media, fans of one rapper in particular — Nicki Minaj — expressed their displeasure.

“And no Nicki ??” questioned one. “Wow Spotify the most streamed female rapper of all time ??” Another railed, “Nicki gottaaaa be on the mfn ceiling somewhere because this is ridiculous. Y’all gotta be out y’all rabbit a$$ minds.” One more added a slew of other women in rap to their complaints, writing, “where is lil kim, nicki minaj, missy elliot, lauryn hill, iggy, salt n pepa? if this is the bar then the bar is an inch off the floor.”

Of course, there are arguments to be made for any number of “exclusions,” but at the end of the day, there were no criteria given for the selections other than that they’ve all got relatively recent releases currently trending on Spotify. While that number would include Nicki Minaj, it would also include a bunch of other names that weren’t selected. None of that will ever prevent the Barbz from lashing out, but then again, if they didn’t have something to complain about, would they even be the Barbz?

Ice Spice Just Released ‘Y2K!’ But She’s ‘So Ready To Start Another Album’

Ice Spice just released her new album Y2K!. Welp, time to start the next one.

When asked in a new Billboard interview if he has started working on a new album, Ice responded, “I am definitely so ready to start another album. So that’s great. I know my label is gonna be really excited to hear that. I don’t wanna start teasing the next album, we in Y2K!.”

Elsewhere during the conversation, she said of working with collaborator RiotUSA on Y2K!, “We wanted to make what we like. I just love drill beats, and his specifically. We just locked in for a whole year and really got to it when we could. We have the busiest schedules, but I think that’s why it’s important to have a close bond with whoever you’re collaborating with. You have to make time when you can.”

She also doesn’t seem to be feeling any pressure over the new album, saying, “I think people try to put that pressure on me just because I have been so successful. I don’t really put too much weight into it. Of course, I appreciate it and I prefer it, but it’s not a make-or-break for me. I’m just happy with the album I made.”

Ice Spice Is Shakin’ And Poppin’ On ‘Gyat,’ An Asset-Flaunting New ‘Y2K!’ Bonus Track

by

After becoming one of hip-hop’s biggest rising stars over the past couple years, Ice Spice released her debut album, Y2K!, last month. It turns out she had one more song in the queue, as she just unveiled “Gyat,” a new Y2K! bonus track.

For those not plugged in to what the kids are talking about these days, Urban Dictionary notes that “gyat” is an exclamation typically used in response to seeing a woman with a large behind.

Ice sets the tone on the first verse, rapping (as Genius notes), “I’m from the X, so I’m packin’ that jatt / Got out the hood and I ain’t going back / Built like a Barbie, but act like a brat / You know I’m the baddest, like, keep it a stack / If it ain’t ’bout money, I ain’t talkin’ ’bout that / I be poppin’, you b*tches be flat / I be shakin’, and he like, ‘Gyatt.’”

Meanwhile, Ice Spice just kicked off her Y2K! World Tour a few days ago, so don’t be surprised if “Gyat” gets added to the setlist for upcoming shows, since her setlist includes essentially every song she’s released so far in her young career.

Listen to “Gyat” above.

Y2K! is out now via 10K Projects/Capitol Records. Find more information here.

Ice Spice Packs The Stands On The Opening Day Of Her “Y2K!” Tour: Watch

by

The opening weekend for Ice Spice’s debut album, Y2K!, as expected, has been great, to put it bluntly. Overall, the project has not been receiving too many favorable reviews. Pitchfork seemed to disagree with the masses, leading many to question their critique. Seeing all of this makes it safe to say that not many out there want to see the New York rapper succeed in any fashion. Some will go as far as to claim that she doesn’t deserve all of this attention. That is up for you all to decide, but Spice is going to keep on chugging along.

Speaking of which, just last night, the Y2K! World Tour kicked off in Washington D.C., following several festival dates that were included in the set of 24. Close collaborators, RIOTUSA and Cash Cobain, are assisting along this major career milestone. From videos and images making the rounds online, it seems like Spice completely filled the arena to the brim. The crowd seemed to be into most of the live performances, proving that she is certainly the superstar that she has quickly become.

However, there were a lot of fans stepping into quiet down the hate. “She got fans idk why people act like she don’t 😂 the hate seem like it’s only online 🤷🏽‍♀️”. “I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE WIN THAT ARE CONSTANTLY TALKED ABOUT NEGATIVELY 👏”.
