Ice Spice Fires Back, “Latto’s Feud is Just a Dragged-Out Joke”

In a candid interview with Rolling Stone ahead of her highly anticipated debut album Y2K, Ice Spice opened up about her rapid rise in the rap industry, her budding friendship with Taylor Swift, and her ongoing feud with Latto. Despite both artists’ flourishing careers, the tension between them remains a hot topic among fans.

The drama reportedly started when Ice Spice’s single “Think U The Sh*t” was rumored to take shots at Latto. Ice Spice confirmed the speculation, calling out a “weak-ass snippet” Latto shared on TikTok, which featured footage from an Ice Spice music video. Latto’s response? Filming her next music video in Ice Spice’s hometown, The Bronx. The back-and-forth has continued ever since, with each artist throwing subtle digs at the other.

“I can understand a friendly competition, but I feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out, and it’s not even funny,” Ice Spice told Rolling Stone, directly addressing the feud. Meanwhile, Latto has downplayed the conflict, asserting they operate in different lanes and expressing no interest in furthering the drama.

Despite their differences, both rappers are enjoying significant success. Latto’s feature on Jung Kook’s track “Seven” recently went platinum and topped the Billboard Hot 100. Ice Spice has had major hits with Nicki Minaj, including “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World,” and her viral collaboration “Boy’s A Liar, Pt. 2” with PinkPantheress. She also came close to a #1 single with Taylor Swift on the “Karma” remix.

With her debut album Y2K dropping on July 26, all eyes are on Ice Spice to see what she does next in both her career and this ongoing saga with Latto.
