ICE SPICE

In the past couple of years, we have seen more female rappers explode into the mainstream than ever before. Some might even argue that they are currently getting more attention than upcoming male artists. Female artists typically receive much more hate than their male counterparts but Ice Spice is a little different.

Start of Ice Spice musical journey

Ice Spice began rapping at a young age, inspired by artists like Lil Kim, Nickie Minaj, and Jessie. She started her career in 2021 after meeting producer Riot and released her debut single “Bully Freestyle” in March 2021. The song went viral on Tik Tok and Ice n Spice quickly became famous. In late 2022, Ice n Spice released her single “Munch” and Boom. This song went viral and helped her break into the mainstream.

Controversial rise of Ice Spice

Ice Spice had one of the wildest come ups in the recent rap industry. We’re talking meteoric with her viral hit “Munch”. She went form Tick Tock sensation to rubbing elbows with legends. In just a year, she got a co-sign from Drake, dropped a track with Nicki Minaj and even collaborated with Taylor Swift, yeah you read it right. Taylor Swift. That kind of rise is almost unheard of.
When her track “Munch” exploded on Tick Tock, everyone thought she is going to be hear and gone within a month but with her most collaboration reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, her rise has exposed a lot of truth about hip-hop that people are not willing to accept. She is one of the first female rappers to come out of the Bronx drill scene.

Though she’s is comparatively new to the hip-hop music scene, yet successful in garnering 5 awards and 24 nominations. Wow. Isn’t that wild? These includes, people’s choice award for “new artist of the year”, MTV Video Music Award for “Best New Artist”, Impact award from the BMI R&B/Hiphop awards, BET Hiphop Awards 2023 for “Best Breakthrough Hiphop Artist”, Billboard’s Hiphop power players “ Rookie of the year” award.

From Stardom to setback: Shocking downfall of Ice n Spice

Fast forward a year later and somehow she’s lost over half her fan base and not only that, she’s got fan groups turning against her. People says that all she has is twerking. Don’t get me wrong. Twerking was part of her brand sure but when that becomes your whole thing, people start getting bored. People have start commenting on her videos that she’s basically just a dancer now but here’s the kicker. Twerking is the least of her problems, the real issue is her music which is repetitive. I mean seriously repetitive. It’s like listening to the same song on loop with slightly different packaging.
The worst part is, she somehow keeps sneaking poop references into her lyrics. It feels like we’ve got a rapper whose main topics are twerking and poop. I’m not sure where her career is headed from here. She seriously need to work on her behavior and quality of music.

Ice Spice Net worth

The estimated net worth of Ice Spice as of June 2025 was $ 10 million and it’s rising with every release, shows, advertisements, endorsements, and promotions. Though the specifics of her finances are not known yet.

Conclusion

Considering the amount of hype and attention Ice Spice got from the beginning of her career, she should have retained it. However, because of her bad choices, some behavioral issues, and monotonous music, she has lost it. She had a genuine chance to stay relevant in the music scene. We see way too many wrappers, who are here today and gone tomorrow. Hopefully she is not the one.
