Ice Spice Heats Up the Cover of Rolling Stone Magazine
In celebration of her new album Y2K, 23-year-old rap sensation Ice Spice graces the cover of Rolling Stone's latest issue. The New York native is shaking up the music scene with her raw lyrics, catchy beats, and unstoppable enthusiasm.
In her candid Rolling Stone interview, Ice Spice confronts the controversy surrounding her feud with Nicki Minaj, declaring, "I'm not intimidated by anyone. I'm focused on creating music and enjoying the ride." She also confesses her admiration for Taylor Swift, calling herself a "huge fan" of the popstar.
On supposed beef with Nicki Minaj, and those leaked text messages:
She’s busy as hell. I don’t really think she cares about shit like that coming from a random girl. But what I said in those texts was just in a moment of frustration around contract negotiations. I could have chose different words. But at the end of the day, regardless of how I felt in that moment, [Nicki] is still somebody I respect as an artist, and I’m always going to admire everything she’s done for me and the culture.
On her beef with Latto:
I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me. I can understand a friendly competition, but I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out, and it’s just not even funny. Like, bro, ‘Think U the S**t’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of s**t cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re taking something that’s supposed to be a fun moment for you and you’re making it about me … again.
The moment she found out Taylor Swift wanted her on the “Karma” remix:
I was living in my first apartment in Jersey, and Riot was there recording me. And I remember my manager called me, and he usually texts, but he called, and he’s like, ‘You ready for this one?’ And I’m thinking it’s going to be some bad news or something. He’s like, ‘Taylor Swift has a record for you to get on from her album.’ I’m playing it cool on the phone. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. Super cool.’ And then I hang up the phone and I’m hysterically crying. I’m in my walk-in closet, and I’m like, ‘Bro, this is not real life.’ Riot definitely filmed it. That’ll probably be in a documentary one day.
With her unapologetic charm and unstoppable flow, Ice Spice is the perfect storm of talent and tenacity. In her revealing Rolling Stone interview, she proves why she's the most exciting name in rap right now. Don't miss the full cover story: HERE!
