Ice Spice’s Cheeky Pics Trigger Shots At Ariana Grande

Ice Spice has been dropping one hot post after another since her return to Instagram in August. The “Munch” rapper, 25, wiped her account clean, signaling a new start after messy beef with rapper Cleopatra and a wave of unfollows. She returned with a post announcing her film debut and has had fans in a chokehold ever since. Her latest cheeky pics received love from thousands of fans. But somehow, singer Ariana Grande got some shade.

Ice Spice stunned her 11.5 million followers in a nude-tone bodysuit that hugged her curves. The “Deli” rapper wore her signature ginger-orange hair in a curly fringe, posing on a red circular stage. She showed off her backside in all three slides of the carousel.

The post, soundtracked by her new single, “Baddie,” was clearly promotional, stamping the rapper as the “queen of baddies.” Fans agreed, with 655,000 liking the post and 6,900 comments.

Many commenters complimented the rapper and her new single, even suggesting features for a remix. But the cheeky snaps also triggered music critics, claiming all her songs sound the same.

One user criticized Ice Spice’s new single, commenting that it “sounds like the last 20 songs she made.” “All you gotta do is show off your body to make it,” they wrote. Another called the song “trash as- music.” One advised her to “just be a model” because her music is “stupid.”

Meanwhile, her fan clubs described the song as a “masterpiece.” Some fans even asked for a video and a Megan Thee Stallion feature. Apparently, like many other artists, it’s evident that she isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Unsurprisingly, many comments weren’t about the song at all, but rather Ice Spice’s body. One shady user wrote, “You change sizes like Ariana Grande changes races.”

When Ice Spice first came to the limelight, she was known for her natural “thickness.” But fans noticed her weight loss during her 2024 Y2K World Tour. This sparked speculations that she was using Ozempic. But she slammed the rumors, crediting touring, gym sessions, and a healthier diet.

Fans noticed she’s gained weight back, which intrigued them about how she’s able to switch “sizes” quickly. The Ariana Grande comparison, on the other hand, stems from the singer's backlash for allegedly altering her appearance and cultural presentation to seem racially ambiguous.

Regardless of that fan’s sentiments about her weight loss and gains, many fans were just happy to have “thick” Ice Spice back.

One of Ice Spice’s major rap beefs was with rapper Latto. The beef began when Ice Spice alleged Latto was copying her. The tension escalated when Ice Spice released “Think you the sh-t,” a track fans believed was a diss track at Latto. Latto also made perceived disses in her music.

In 2025, however, both artists dropped a collaborative track, “Gyatt,” signaling the end of their beef. While that feud has been squashed, the conflict with rapper Cleopatra lingers.

Cleopatra accused Ice Spice of neglect during the 2024 Y2K World Tour in a five-part TikTok series. But Ice Spice clapped back, saying Cleopatra was “crashing out” because she felt entitled.

Fans weren’t impressed, and many unfollowed her in protest. Currently, the drama hasn’t been resolved, though Spice is slowly rebuilding momentum.

In April, Ice Spice hard-launched her relationship with New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner with a mirror selfie posted to her Instagram. By summer, she sparked breakup rumors after being spotted with another athlete. But she seemingly laid those rumors to rest after appearing on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast in September, confirming her relationship with Gardner.
