There’s some drama brewing between Ice Spice and Cardi B, Media Take Out is hearing – at least according to fans of the two female rappers on Twitter.
There’s a lot of similarities between the two artists. Cardi is Dominican, and Ice Spice is half Dominican (she’s also half black). And both women were vaulted to the top of the hip hop world in what seemed like no time.
Fans of Cardi have been egging her on for weeks, to go after Ice Spice, whom they think is jacking Cardi’s style. And so far Cardi has held back any potential animosity for the young artist.
But after Ice Spice signed on with Nicki Minaj – Cardi’s arch enemy – the Bodak Yellow artist seems to have started taking a few subliminal at Ice Spice.
Yesterday Cardi went on a long rant, explaining how hard it was for her to attain superstardom – and suggesting that some of the “new artists” didn’t haven’t paid their dues. She didn’t mention Ice Spice by name, but it sure sounded like she was throwing shots.
