Around this time, an ex-friend of the “Munch” artist, Baby Storme, leaked some text messages between the two of them. In their chain, Ice Spice voiced her frustrations with Nicki Minaj, labeling her “ungrateful and delusional.”
Ultimately, the texts were about some contract negotiations, as Nicki was trying to sign the Y2K! star. “[…] what I said in those texts was just in a moment of frustration around contract negotiations.”

“I really tried to let our lawyers handle everything and our managers. But I was already signed when she was trying to sign me, so I think that’s where the hiccups were ’cause it was really like no room anymore at that point to make a deal. I’m signed to two labels, so that was already a thing.”
But even though things didn’t pan out, Ice Spice says “it’s all love like always. I still look up to her she’s mother,” she said.
Spice expressed similar feelings last year with Rolling Stone too, adding, “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.”
