🎵💃 Ice Spice responded, saying that it was her attractive appearance that led to her quick success
“It’s difficult to be at the top, but Ice Spice is enjoying her time at the top. The New York rapper opened up about how she quickly gained fame in the June issue of Teen Vogue. She discussed how she managed to stay grounded despite her growing popularity and addressed the challenges surrounding her quick rise to fame.
Ice, born as Isis Gaston, started singing in 2021, and by August of the following year, her On the Radar freestyle went viral, and her single, “Munch,” dominated the end of the year. After signing a deal with 10K Projects and Capitol Records in the fall, the Bronx native continued to make waves and released her first EP, Like..?, at the beginning of 2023.
“I’m proud to say that I’ve kept my head held high because I’ve seen many things that I know would have driven many people insane,” the 23-year-old told the magazine about her sudden success. “The change in lifestyle is a significant one, especially since I didn’t come from a wealthy family and didn’t have much growing up, but now—it’s the opposite… Even though it’s a positive change, it’s still change.” 🔄💪
Since entering the music scene, the rapper has found herself on the Met Gala red carpet, garnered over 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and gained recognition from big-name rappers like Drake and the Queen of Rap herself, Nicki Minaj. She has even collaborated with Nicki on a song. 🎵💃
Minaj referred to the rising star as her rightful successor, and according to Billboard, their remix of “Princess Diana” became the first all-female song to reach number one on the rap charts.
Despite her belief in her own success, Ice admitted that she is still surprised by it. “I’m shocked that everyone is paying attention to me and supporting me,” she said. 🎧😲
However, not everyone is thrilled about the rapper’s rapid ascent to the top of the charts. While Ice has received praise from established artists and her music, such as her February song with British artist PinkPantheress, “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” reaching the number three spot on the Billboard Hot 100, some people claim that her quick success was aided by colorism within the hip-hop industry, favoring light-skinned artists. 🔥🎶
The history of colorism in hip-hop, particularly favoring light-skinned women, is well-known, and Ice is just the latest person to become the subject of this ongoing discussion.
“I’ve seen those opinions,” Ice told Teen Vogue. “I personally believe it doesn’t concern me. I think it’s a conversation that has been happening for generations and since the beginning of time. I don’t pay attention to negativity because I’ve noticed that when people engage in that kind of talk, it’s usually out of envy. They just want to bring another person down.” 😕🗣️
The rapper explained that she “blocks” most rumors and false stories she reads about herself because negative comments can hurt her feelings. “If I read comments and come across something negative, I dismiss it. I don’t punish myself,” she stated. “Most of the time, I can anticipate what they’ll say because people like to predict… I expect them to keep talking about me, to nitpick on insignificant things. Like, there’s no need to bring that up.” 😤🚫
While she is aware of the public’s perception of her and what they might think, Ice believes that nobody is “fully prepared for fame.”
“No one can write a book on how to blow up. I think everyone learns as they go, just like most people do in their professions,” she said. “Many people try to compare me to those who are older or have been in the game longer than me. I believe I know who I am. I am the real deal, and I constantly remind myself of that because I’ve learned that I have to… I need to know who I am because everyone else will try to define me. So I need to establish that first.” 🎤💯
