“We’re definitely good. We’re mutuals”: Ice Spice’s previous statement about Nicki Minaj revisited

As Ice Spice commented on Nicki Minaj’s post but received no likes or comments from the Anaconda singer, social media users are hinting towards a possible rift between the two.

However, the same was clarified a few months back by Ice Spice, who opened up to Rolling Stone on July 25, 2024, by stating:

“We don’t have the closest relationship, you know? But we’re definitely good. We’re mutuals. We had smash records together. I love us together, I think the world does too.”

Furthermore, during her conversation with the publication, the artist also spoke up about the text messages controversy, where several screenshots of hers talking about Nicki Minaj were leaked. Ice Spice stated:

“I don’t really think she cares about s**t like that coming from a random girl. But what I said in those texts was just in a moment of frustration around contract negotiations. I could have chose different words. But at the end of the day, regardless of how I felt in that moment, Nicki is still somebody I respect as an artist, and I’m always going to admire everything she’s done for me and the culture.”

The fiasco between Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice took place a year ago, when Ice Spice allegedly called Minaj “ungrateful and delusional” while the two were working together on the Barbie soundtrack.

At the time of this writing, neither Nicki Minaj nor Ice Spice have commented on the situation. The two singers are still following each other on Instagram.
