Ice Spice is dismissing her rumored feud with Latto as nothing more than a joke that’s run its course — at least on her end.
The “Princess Diana” hitmaker, 24, cleared the air about her simmering beef with the Atlanta rapper, 25, in her new Rolling Stone cover story, where she finally addressed jabs that fans have speculated about between the two for months now.
“I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare,” Ice told the publication. “It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me.”
Rumors about Ice and Latto having an alleged beef have swirled since early 2023. However, fan speculation went haywire in late January after the former dropped her single “Think U the S--- (Fart),” which is believed to have subliminal shots aimed at Latto, per lines like, “I got my foot on they necks, I can't let up / She all on the floor, told her, ‘Get up.’” Many thought the lyrics were a shady reference to Latto’s 2023 song “Put It on the Floor.”
Earlier that month, Latto previewed her “Sunday Service” single — also believed to contain jabs aimed toward Ice — in a teaser video filmed in a ??large SUV with friends, which she posted on X (formerly Twitter). Fans noticed that one of Ice’s music videos was playing in the background of the snippet, suggesting tension, and Ice seemed to confirm it in an X Spaces in February.
“Seeing that I’m in the back of your weak-ass snippet… I was like, ‘Wait a second — that’s me?’” the “Munch” rapper recalled, per Complex. “So I’m like, ‘OK, since we’re talking about me, let’s talk about me. I was like, ‘This has to be fake — this is AI,’ but bitches be bold, so I was like, ‘Alright, we’re being bold today.’"
Ice and Latto continued to trade small shots at one another in the months following, with the latter making their alleged feud known after she posted a picture of a poop-shaped cake on X that her friends gave her in honor of headlining Atlanta’s Birthday Bash summer concert in June. Latto captioned it, “Think I’m the s--- , bitch ?????”
Ice responded to the shady joke about her song in her Rolling Stone interview, saying, “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---’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of s--- cake to announce something that’s good news for you?” the Grammy-nominated artist continued. “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.”
Latto subtly addressed her dispute with Ice in her Billboard cover story, published on July 19, when she was asked if she’d ever go bar for bar with the Y2K rapper like Drake and Kendrick Lamar did recently.
“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with,” she told the outlet. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.’”
"Everybody gon’ take their lil jabs in the music, and it’s not even that serious to me; I feel like you should do that,” Latto added. “Continue to! But as far as actual whole diss records to each other, I don’t think she would even want to do that. I feel like… would it even make sense? It wouldn’t.”
