Ice Spice Without Makeup Sparks Debate Online

by

Ice Spice’s breakout single, “Munch (Feelin’ U)” solidified her status as one to watch in 2022, and since then, her star has only grown brighter. As any celebrity knows, fame and criticism come hand-in-hand, and there seems to be a fascination among some online with humbling the 23-year-old as she continues to rack up the accolades. Over the weekend, a fresh-faced photo of Spice without makeup went viral on Twitter. Though her skin is clearly glowing in the image, haters on the platform attempt to bash her for looking different without her usual foundation and eyeliner.

“Ice Spice no makeup on. [I don’t know] how to feel anymore 💔,” the original poster wrote with a throwback picture of the New Yorker. Not only is the photo taken from an angle that likely wouldn’t flatter anyone, but it also makes Isis Gaston’s forehead look larger than normal. It’s worth noting that this wouldn’t change, even if she was wearing a full face of makeup. Despite this, strangers online are slamming her natural beauty and bubblegum pink wig, which seems to be the real issue – not her bare complexion.

“Hair look like a wig bruh,” the OP wrote in the comments, failing to recognize that it resembles one because it is a wig. “You are SLOW,” someone clapped back at them. “This why Drake unfollowed her,” another person speculated. Thankfully, Spice has plenty of Munchkins and Munches rushing to her defence online. “Pretty b**ches always got the biggest foreheads I love it,” they gassed her up.

Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Natural Good Looks, Shares Throwback Video

by

Nicki Minaj is at the top of the game right now, and sometimes it can be hard to think about her before all the fame and acclaim. Moreover, her career has been so influential that witnessing her rise early on must make that success a very gratifying experience. It’s something that the Queen herself knows and appreciates, as she recently shared a throwback clip of her when she was around 25. Furthermore, the clip in question seems to be from an old photoshoot early on in her career, and it’s wild to see her in this more reserved and laidback state. The Trinidadian MC basically said as much in her caption of the short clip.

“25 never looked better,” she wrote of the clip on Instagram. “No surgery. No wigs. Just a brand new Colgate smile.” Of course, her fans had plenty of praise for her in the comments section. “And she still looks like this. UNTOUCHED FACE,” one impassioned follower replied, with another adding, “Always natural always beautiful, always perfect always stunning.” It seems like no matter the era, the 40-year-old is a source of inspiration and admiration for people of all walks of life.

In addition to this physical hype, Nicki Minaj has spent a lot of time building up to the release of her upcoming album Pink Friday 2. However, she got some pushback from a fan who didn’t like her new pop direction on one of her snippets of the project, and responded in kind. “PINK FRIDAY = THE PINKPRINT TO “GOING POP” SUPERBASS, MOMENT 4 LIFE, Check it out, Save Me, Last chance, etc.” the YMCMB alum wrote on Twitter. “2nd album = STARSHIPS, POUND THE ALARM, VAVAVOOM, TURN ME ON, (disowned by the rap critics who years later were shamelessly paid off). PINK FRIDAY 2 = your worst phkn nightmare. It makes me so happy to know the jealousy is oozing through your ugly bussy.

“B/c the song I teased last night got y’all losing sleep & the full song is even BETTER!!!” Minaj went on. “Wait til u hear the RAP on that! One writer. ONE. Lastly, I don’t do diff genres. H*e i AM a genre. THEE genre.
