In today’s episode of “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong,” we find Ice Spice in the spotlight again, but not for dropping another bop. No, this time, she’s caught in a social media catfight with her former BFF (Best Frenemy Forever), Cleotrapa, who’s decided to air all the dirty laundry like it’s Black Friday at a laundromat.
Meet the Players
On one side, we have Ice Spice, the rap game’s latest It-Girl with a fanbase so loyal they’d probably try to use her lyrics as legal defense in court. On the other side, we have Cleotrapa, an influencer and musician who was once Ice’s ride-or-die, but now seems more like her “left-me-on-read.”
The Setup
It all started innocently enough—or as innocently as last-minute invites to high-stakes rap tours go. Cleotrapa claims she was asked to join Ice Spice on the ‘Y2K Tour’ with about as much notice as you’d get for a surprise pop quiz. But, never one to miss out on a chance to bask in the glow of the spotlight (and maybe borrow some of that glow for herself), Cleotrapa said yes faster than a kid to free candy.
The Nightmare Begins
Instead of living the dream, Cleotrapa found herself in what can only be described as a touring version of Survivor: Rap Edition. According to her TikTok tirade, she was treated like the musical equivalent of a third-wheel—if the wheel was flat, rusty, and left in the garage. Cleotrapa alleges that she was left out, left hungry, and left questioning her life choices. And apparently, every time she tried to complain to Ice Spice, things just got worse, like someone turning up the heat on a stove and slowly cooking your patience.
The Spice Meltdown
Meanwhile, over on X (Twitter’s cooler cousin, or maybe just its midlife crisis), Ice Spice took to live chat to let off some steam of her own. In a rant that could double as a therapy session (but without the co-pay), she expressed her frustration at being such a “good person” and having it blow up in her face like a malfunctioning confetti cannon. Ice was bewildered that Cleotrapa expected Ice’s team to work for her, too—because apparently, Cleotrapa missed the memo that “plus one” doesn’t mean “plus entourage.”
With a dramatic sigh that probably echoed through the internet, Ice signed off, leaving us all to wonder if this was the end of their friendship or just the latest episode in the reality show that is celebrity life.
Final Thoughts
Another day, another beef served sizzling hot on the grill of social media. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Honestly, who cares? We’re just here for the drama.
