“Think she pretty, but changin’ her face/ Fallin’ behind like, bi**h, pick up your pace.”
Ice Spice dropped her debut album Y2K! today (July 26) and all hell broke loose — specifically with Cardi B going off following a perceived shot aimed at her.
On the album’s track “BB Belt,” Ice Spice raps: “Think she pretty, but changin’ her face/ Fallin’ behind like, bi**h, pick up your pace/ It was funny ’til I took her place/ Her man callin’, but I be like, ‘Who this?’”
Shortly after the song made waves, the fellow Bronx star fired at unnamed female rappers on her X account. “These bi**hes have absolutely lost their mind… I’m getting all my lick backs on my album tho …ON EACH ONE OF YOU BI**HES !!!” she typed.
She added, “These bi**hes can’t see me in numbers or status, y’all had WAY too much time to catch up. Can’t see me in money, can’t see me in real estate, fashion, and CAN’T SEE ME IN PERSON either. I’m not in a rat race with none of you bi**hes!! And ima show yall.”
Ice Spice has not clarified if the “BB Belt” line in question is about Cardi B or not.
Listen below.
Although the two have worked together in the past on the remix to Ice’s hit single “Munch (Feelin U),” some sort of rift seemed to arise between them after Cardi shaded Ice Spice during Hot 97’s Summer Jam last year.
During her set, Cardi performed her GloRilla-collab, “Tomorrow 2” but brought the song in by playing the Annie theme song “Tomorrow.”
She also projected images of orphan Annie twerking on a giant screen for the entire stadium to see.
Although it could have been a simple play on the famed film’s homonymous theme song, many fans drew parallels between the resemblance of the main character and ginger-haired rhymer.
However, Cardi debunked rumors that she was throwing shade by saying, “For y’all muthaf**kas that’s on Twitter tryna be messy, please, cut the bullsh*t,” on X.
She continued: “I don’t — that’s not me, like come on now. First of all, y’all been wanting me to be messy all things. Y’all wanted me to be messy on the song, y’all wanted me to — nah, come on now. Cut the bullsh*t, please. Get the mop. Y’all being too messy and y’all being annoying.”
