For example, a clip of an unrealized track of hers, which will appear on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse‘s upcoming soundtrack, has fans going crazy.
In other related news, while some are loving Ice Spice’s rise to fame, a few have pointed out she may have a leg up on artists, especially those of a darker hue.
Recently, Rory & Mal argued that Ice Spice wouldn’t be as successful as she is if she were a dark-skinned woman, with their producer adding that the rapper isn’t even talented.

The conversation was started by New Rory & Mal producer Demaris, who said frankly that Spice would have never gotten this far if she was a dark-skinned woman.
The comments come as conversations were reportedly floating around online about Spice’s skin color following the special invite she received to the 2023 Met Gala by Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour.
“If we saying that colorism doesn’t exist because a dark-skinned girl could never soar the way that fucking Ice Spice did off having zero to no talent,” she said.
Demaris continued by saying that frankly she’s not a fan of Spice’s music, but added that she wasn’t “hating” on the “Munch” rapper.

“If she was dark-skinned she would not be as big as she is,” she continued. “That’s what I said. That’s not taking anything away from her.”
