Ice Spice’s Hairstylist Shuts Down Nicki Minaj Style-Biting Accusations

Recently, Ice Spice took to social media to tease her upcoming album Y2K! whilst sporting a brand-new hairstyle. Instead of her signature curls or even her more recent long and sleek look, she rocked a voluminous bob. This immediately prompted fans to compare her to Nicki Minaj, who’s worn a similar style in the past, and who’s famously collaborated with Ice Spice on multiple tracks. While some saw nothing wrong with this, others thought she was taking her Nicki admiration a bit too far, and accused her of biting her style.

Amid chatter surrounding the controversial hairdo, the stylist behind it took to Twitter/X to show off her work and was immediately flooded with comments about Nicki. “Reference was Princess Diana, and she nailed it!” she captioned a side-by-side image of the two ladies’ looks. “She really is the modern Princess Diana.”

Ice Spice Unveils Controversial Princess Diana-Inspired Bob

“Reference was Nicki Minaj actually,” one critic wrote in her comments section, prompting the hairstylist to fire back. “Not everything is about Nicki,” she said. “This was a Princess Diana recreation, aka what she and the general public have been calling her since she started rapping.” As expected, her remark has done little to quell the style-biting accusations. Instead, it appears to have only ramped them up.

“Everything is about Nicki,” one Instagram user claims in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Baby that’s a Nicki wig,” someone else writes, “Next!” Others are arguing that the look isn’t that big of a deal, despite whoever might have inspired it. What do you think of Ice Spice’s new hairstyle? How about her hairstylist firing back amid claims she was inspired by Nicki Minaj? What about her insisting it was actually inspired by Princess Diana?

Julia Fox Stuns In A Corset With Princess Diana On It

Julia Fox makes waves for her fashion time and time again. Earlier this month while promoting her book she shared a photo to Instagram. But most of the people watching were more interested in her white bow top than what she was actually talking about. Just a few days later she went panties out in a different fit while her memoir tour stopped in New York City. Now, she’s once again getting attention for an outfit choice.

This time she was once again promoting her new book, this time in London. She once again delivered a look that had fans talking more about her fashion than her words. That was mostly centered around a white corset she wore that had a picture of Princess Diana on it. She also tried to meet the moment of the city she was in with a Union Jack clutch purse. Though the outfit was certainly loud, many online praised just how on-the-nose she was willing to be.

She also described their sex life as basically nonexistent. Instead, she described her job as just being there to pay West as much attention as possible 24/7. Despite how short the short-lived nature of their relationship it’s been a matter of public fascination since it happened. What do you think of Julia Fox sporting some iconic British imagery during a stop in London? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ice Spice Says Taylor Swift Is ‘F*cking Hilarious’ And Shares What She’s Learned From Nicki Minaj

Back in May, Taylor Swift released a remix of her Midnights cut, “Karma,” featuring one of rap’s buzziest newcomers, Ice Spice. Though the remix sparked controversy — particularly due to how her supposed then-boyfriend Matty Healy had previously treated Ice — both Ice and Swift have had nothing but positive things to say about each other.

In a recent interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Ice broke down how the collaboration came about.

“I was home and my manager called me, and was like, ‘Oh, Taylor wants you on a record.’ And I’m like, ‘Taylor?’” said Ice. “I was having a really bad day also, I would like to say that. I was having a terrible day. I was crying all morning because I was just so mad at something. And then he called me with that news. And then I cried more, because it was good news.”

She then recalled the first time she met Swift and how exciting of an experience it was.

“We went to the studio and [Taylor] is so humble and so nice,” she said. “I kid you not. I pulled up to the studio and she outside waiting for me. So she’s great. She’s so funny. We text all the time. She is f*cking hilarious. I’m not going to lie. She’s the funniest person ever.”

In addition to a Taylor Swift collab, Ice has also dropped to songs with Nicki Minaj this year. Elsewhere in the interview, Ice noted the was in which Minaj has been a mentor to her.

“I feel like I am absorbing advice from [Nicki] and learning from her and stuff,” Ice said. “And she’ll tell me, ‘Learn from my mistake, do this or don’t do that,’ or whatever. And I just really pay attention to what she’s saying. Because if there’s anyone I’m going to listen to it’s the queen.”

Skrillex Remixes Nicki Minaj And Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana”

Skrillex recently took the stage at Movement Detroit to share his new remix of Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s collab, “Princess Diana.” An attendee later shared a clip of the performance on Twitter, where fans chimed in. The unexpected crossover has mixed reviews, but Minaj gave Skrillex her stamp of approval. “#PrincessDiana being remixed by @skrillex is crazyyyyy,” Minaj wrote on her Instagram Story alongside the clip. She added a green check mark emoji, letting him know she approves. Skrillex also previously did a remix of Ice Spice’s Like..? track, “In Ha Mood.”

“BRU WHATTTTTTT,” one viewer commented on the clip, adding a shocked emoji. Several other fans insisted that the remix be put on streaming services immediately. One asks, “What we gotta do to get that @Skrillex version of #PrincessDianaRemix on a streaming platform??” Another demands, “drop the Princess Diana Remix NOW.” “MY GOD THIS GOES SO HARD,” a Twitter user writes, dubbing Skrillex’s version as the “garage mix.”

Skrillex’s Unexpected Remix

Skrillex wasn’t the first unexpected matchup to tap Ice Spice lately. She recently joined Taylor Swift on “Karma (Remix),” which landed her the record of largest streaming debut for a female rapper. Some listeners loved the collab, while other critics weren’t fans. Ebro recently shared his thoughts on the remix, claiming that Ice Spice wasn’t “ready for that moment.” He said it happened “too soon,” adding, “I don’t think it’s necessary.” He also claimed “Ice Spice don’t need Taylor.” He went on to describe the remix as a way for Swift to stay relevant to a newer audience. Ebro did, however, call her collab with Nicki Minaj “perfect.”

Ice Spice recently discussed her sudden rise to fame in her April Paper Magazine cover story. “I don’t know if I fit in,” she explained, saying, “I think that’s what makes me so different. I feel like it’s a new lane that I’ve started, and I’m starting to hear a lot of other artists sound like they belong in my lane now.”

Ice Spice’s Debut Met Gala Look Is Giving “Princess Diana”

The Met Gala has barely begun, but already, we’re seeing what may be some of the evening’s most impressive looks. Co-chair Michaela Coel absolutely stunned in a golden Schiaparelli gown. Elsewhere, La La Anthony undeniably gave major goddess in her white gown. A fresher face who we’re excited to see make their debut at the event today (May 1) is Ice Spice, who was specially selected as Anna Wintour’s guest for the evening.

The 23-year-old worked with designers at Balmain for her gown, which came with a train that looks almost as long as another of the rap diva. It’s a relatively simple white piece, with flirtatious, sheer panels of fabric running along either side of her body. The elegant yet statement-making piece feels fitting following the arrival of her “Princess Diana (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj. If anyone deserves the title of the people’s princess in 2023, it’s obviously Ice Spice – especially in this dress.

Ice Spice is a Balmain Beauty

Rather than wearing her hair in the famous red curls we’ve come to love, the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker opted for a sleek, straight look with side-swept bangs. Fans were quick to notice that she’s not carrying a purse in hand for once, as she frequently does in her photos. Instead, she’s got a bedazzled camera, perhaps for capturing memories from her first time inside the Met Gala on film to cherish (and hopefully share on Instagram).

After sauntering down the carpet and sitting pretty for plenty of photos, the rising star briefly spoke with La La Anthony. “I’m just so grateful,” she gushed of her experience so far. “I was really nervous, like, approaching the carpet. Once I heard everybody screaming, I felt better.” Keep scrolling to see more of Ice Spice’s 2023 Met Gala content, and tap back in with HNHH later this evening to catch more iconic outfits from your favourite celebrities.
