She spoke to The Hollywood Reporter at the event about the bold outfit. “I’m really excited about this dress,” she explained. “I think it’s fun, and like daring and very VMAs. You know, you want to bring that rock star energy.” She went on to share her thoughts on all the Artist Of The Year nominees being women, calling it “amazing.” Tinashe also called it a “full-circle moment for women,” describing how exciting it is for her to see women thriving in the music industry. “We rarely get our flowers,” she explained, “we rarely get all of the praise that we deserve.”

Tinashe also discussed her new album BB/ANG3L, which she dropped on September 5. “I’m very excited,” she began. “It really represents me right now, who I am. It’s genre blends, it has some stuff you can dance to, some really sexy, like R&B songs as well. Hopefully the fans really love it, but I’m excited about it.” So far, her sixth full-length offering has certainly managed to capture the hearts of fans. The performer also spoke on being excited to see Nicki Minaj hosting the event, noting that she was sure to “kill it.”

Over the summer, Tinashe performed a handful of dates across the U.S. and Europe. She’s scheduled to get back on the road next month, with over 10 performances around the U.S. and Canada. She’ll kick things off with a show in Chicago on October 28, going on to make notable stops in NYC, Atlanta, LA, and more.

Ice Spice received well-deserved recognition last night at the 2023 MTV VMAs. In a televised moment, Ice Spice graciously accepted the Best New Artist award. The rising star had been the clear fan favorite to receive this honor at this year’s award show, which took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on September 12. When Ice Spice’s name was announced, she appeared overwhelmed with joy, basking in a standing ovation as she took center stage. Amid the cheers of the audience, she expressed her profound gratitude for the award and became visibly tearful during her heartfelt acceptance speech.

“Thank you so much. Thank you MTV. Oh my God, this is so cool,” Ice Spice said with a wide smile. “I just want to thank my Munchkins. I love you guys so much. I want to thank my manager James. I want to thank my producer Riot, for making the best music with me.” “Shout out to all the other nominees in this category,” she added. “I want to thank my label 10K and Capitol for always supporting me. And of course God. Without God none of this would be possible!” She concluded her speech with a shoutout to her hometown, saying, “Shout out the Bronx. Period!”

Other nominees in the category included GloRilla, Kaliii, Peso Pluma, PinkPantheress, and Reneé Rapp. Ice Spice’s win in this category signifies an inaugural win, marking the sixth consecutive year that a female artist has won the title of Best New Artist. This makes the sixth consecutive year that a female artist has claimed the Best New Artist award. The previous female winners include Cardi B (2018), Billie Eilish (2019), Doja Cat (2019), Olivia Rodrigo (2021), and Dove Cameron (2022).

Undoubtedly, Ice Spice has had quite the year. The rapper, whose real name is Isis Naija Gaston, became recognized for her track “Munch (Feelin’ U),” which went viral on TikTok and exploded her into stardom. Her popularity soared through collaborations with PinkPantheress on “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” Nicki Minaj on “Princess Diana” and “Barbie Girl,” and Taylor Swift on a “Karma” remix. In January, Ice Spice unveiled her EP, Like…? featuring “Gangsta Boo” alongside Lil TJay. It was that collaboration that marked her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement is truly remarkable, especially considering that Ice Spice is still classified as a new artist, and all of her recent successes have materialized within just one year.
