Ice Spice Insists She & Nicki Minaj Are ‘Good’ After Calling Her ‘Delusional’ In Leaked Texts, Says She Has ‘No Issue’ With Latto. Ice Spice has decided to set the record straight regarding her relationships with other women in the rap industry. In a recent cover story for Rolling Stone, the “Princess Diana” rapper addressed various topics that fans have been curious about in recent months.
Earlier this year, text messages sent by Ice Spice to a former friend surfaced online, creating a stir. In these texts, she expressed frustration over contract negotiations with Nicki Minaj, referring to her “Barbie World” collaborator as “delusional” and “ungrateful” due to the difficulties she faced. The leak caused widespread speculation about their relationship, which once seemed close. However, both rappers chose not to address the leak publicly at the time.
Ice Spice has now opened up about the situation.
“We don’t have the closest relationship, you know? But we’re definitely good,” she told Rolling Stone, speaking about her friendship with Minaj. “We’re mutuals. We had smash records together…I love us together. I think the world does too.”
The relationship between Ice Spice and the friend who leaked the texts, however, did not survive the ordeal. “The saddest part of the whole situation is that someone I knew for so many years, someone I called a friend, took advantage of my vulnerability for their own benefit,” Ice Spice said. “It was really disheartening to feel used like that.”
The Bronx native also addressed rumors about her alleged beef with Latto and other female rappers. “I just feel like that narrative is so dead,” Ice Spice commented on the supposed drama between women in the rap game. “There are so many rap girls achieving big things simultaneously. It’s not about one or the other. There’s a variety of talents to choose from now.”
Specifically talking about Latto, the “Deli” rapper insisted that there is no issue from her side. “If we ever spoke and I asked her, ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare,” she said. “There’d really be no issue whatsoever, at least not from me.”
Ice Spice also mentioned an incident where Latto seemingly dissed her with a cake that referenced one of her songs. She described it as a joke that Latto had tried to extend for too long. “I can understand friendly competition, but at this point, it’s a joke she’s dragged out, and it’s just not funny anymore,” Ice Spice told Rolling Stone. “Like, bro, ‘Think U the S**t’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of cake to announce something good for you? But in a way, it’s a compliment because you’re making a moment about me … again.”
After clarifying her stance on Latto, Ice Spice turned her attention to the rumors surrounding her relationship with Nicki Minaj. She assured that they are in a good place despite speculations about a rift. Fans had been convinced of tensions between the two artists after leaked text messages from a former friend surfaced, showing Ice Spice expressing frustration over contract negotiations for their “Barbie World” collaboration on the Barbie soundtrack.
Overall, Ice Spice’s candidness in the Rolling Stone interview aims to clear up misunderstandings and shed light on the complexities of her relationships within the rap industry. By addressing these issues head-on, she hopes to move past the drama and focus on her music and career.
