So, if Ice Spice’s die-hard fans weren’t already bouncing off the walls in anticipation of her debut album ‘Y2K’ (dropping July 26 like a fire mixtape in summer), her electrifying BET Awards performance on Sunday night (June 30) probably had them doing backflips.
Before hitting the stage, our girl Spice (a.k.a. Isis Naija Gaston) strutted down the red carpet like she owned it, chitchatting about her dazzling Versace gown, her wild expectations for the night, and spilling just enough tea to keep everyone on edge.
In a cozy little chat with ET’s Deidre Behar, Gaston dropped a coy bombshell about a mysterious collaboration she’s got “in the bag” and fielded rumors that her duet buddy might just be none other than the Pop queen herself, Taylor Swift.
Grab some popcorn and dive in to catch the juicy deets straight from Ice’s lips.
Hip-Hop heads are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the LP’s official tracklist like kids waiting for the ice cream truck. Spice cranked up the hype machine by confirming she’s locked down multiple collabs that are sure to make fans lose their minds.
“There’s a couple,” the 24-year-old teased, dropping just enough info to keep us all guessing. “That’s all I can say.”
When prodded to spill more beans, Ice was asked point-blank if her ‘Karma’ partner-in-crime, Taylor Swift, was on the collab list.
“I don’t know, let’s see, let’s see, let’s see,” she said, playing it cool like a cucumber in a freezer.
That cryptic comment was enough to send her fans and the Swiftie army into a frenzy, as they all cross their fingers for a repeat of the ‘Karma’ magic (which skyrocketed to #2 on the Hot 100, making it the rapper’s biggest hit yet).
