The ongoing feud between Lotto and Ice Spice has escalated dramatically, reaching new heights of animosity. Lotto unleashed a tirade against Ice Spice, taking offense to the shade thrown at her in Ice Spice’s latest song. This feud, which has been simmering for quite some time, has now erupted into full-blown hostility. Ice Spice, who once flooded Lotto’s Instagram with affectionate emojis, has now shifted gears to openly criticize her, accusing Lotto of attempting to emulate her style. Surprisingly, many didn’t catch onto Ice Spice’s subtle digs until she explicitly confirmed during a Twitter space session with her fans that the song was indeed a direct diss aimed at Lotto. Not content with just that, Ice Spice went further to disparage Lotto’s music, branding it as weak and unequivocally declaring her readiness for confrontation. For those puzzled about the origins of this feud, a bit of context might help. Despite their initial camaraderie, Ice Spice and Lotto have long been subject to comparisons due to their similar physical appearances and budding careers. Despite these comparisons, they initially brushed them off and even exchanged mutual admiration on social media, with Ice Spice showering Lotto’s Instagram with compliments and affectionate emojis.
However, the situation took a sour turn when Lotto aimed a jab at Nicki Minaj, dubbing her a “40-year-old bitter Grandma.” Now, for those unaware, Ice Spice is a die-hard Nicki fan, having been a Barb since her youth. So, when Lotto threw shade at Nicki, Ice wasn’t having it. She decided to call out Lotto by sharing a video of Cleo Trappa, who voiced disapproval of young girls constantly belittling older women, reminding them that they too will age one day. Cleo stressed the importance of respecting elders and criticized the habit of attacking someone’s age during arguments. Lotto’s shade didn’t stop there; she promptly unfollowed Ice Spice on Instagram. Not to be outdone, Ice reciprocated by unfollowing Lotto and even posted then deleted a screenshot of Lotto unfollowing her first, with a sarcastic caption about enjoying Rolling Loud. Lotto fired back in the comments, escalating the feud. Things took a messier turn when a red carpet interview surfaced, showing Lotto feigning ignorance about Ice Spice. The interviewer attempted to engage Lotto by reciting some of Ice’s lyrics, but Lotto pretended she’d never heard of the song, pulling faces each time the mic swung her way. Ice, in response, opted for pettiness, leaving comments on 21 Savage’s posts. Now, as many are aware, rumors have been swirling about Lotto and 21 Savage secretly dating, with Lotto allegedly tattooing 21’s real name behind her ear. But, as they say, that’s a whole other story for another time.
Anyway, returning to the topic of Lotto and Ice Spice, they found themselves in another altercation when fans began accusing Lotto of imitating Ice’s style. Ice has long been known for her distinctive fashion sense, often seen in short skirts and mini crop tops. This wasn’t Lotto’s typical attire, but once Ice gained popularity, Lotto suddenly started dressing similarly. One observant fan tweeted, “I can’t help but notice that Lotto is blatantly copying Ice Spice’s style. She did the same thing with Renie Ruchi, and nobody noticed.” The fan then shared side-by-side images of Lotto and Ice, stating, “I know I’m not imagining this. She didn’t dress like that before.” Ice caught wind of the accusation and retorted, “I can’t stand someone with no originality,” prompting another to reply, “They’re stealing yours.” Ice responded, “Can’t.” Although Lotto didn’t directly address Ice’s comments, she tweeted, “I don’t appreciate how y’all twist my words to fit your narratives.” A fan then called Lotto out for mimicking Ice’s poses in a photo posted on Twitter, originally shared on IG. Lotto denied the accusation, stating, “Every time y’all accuse me of copying, I’ll set the record straight, plain and simple.” After this messy exchange, they both seemed to avoid mentioning each other. That is until recently, when Lotto posted a video of herself rapping to her unreleased track “Sunday Service.” However, the video went viral for reasons unrelated to the song itself.
It all began when viewers started noticing Ice Spice’s video playing on the TV in the background. Adding to the drama, at the exact moment Ice’s video appeared, Lotto was spitting lines in her rap that many interpreted as aimed at Ice. She rapped, “I just want one on one, I don’t know why she’s so nervous.” Ice initially stayed silent, but later dropped a track titled “Thank you, the is fart,” where she took a few shots at Lotto. She boasted about her wealth compared to Lotto’s and even threatened to snatch 21 Savage away if Lotto didn’t back off. “She WS think you the be you not even the fart bees be quick but I’m quicker bees be thick but I’m thicker she could be rich but I’m richer taking her man don’t give a f now.” Initially, many listeners didn’t catch on that it was a diss track aimed at Lotto; they just thought it was a catchy tune. However, things took a turn when Ice joined a Twitter space and confirmed that the song was indeed a diss track. Apparently, she felt that Lotto was throwing shade at her during a preview of her song, where Ice’s video played in the background. So, this was her way of firing back and letting Lotto know she’s ready for confrontation. “Seeing that I’m in the back of your weak snippet like that’s I was literally like so I was like wait a second that’s me so I’m like okay since we’re talking about me let’s talk about me and I dropped that it was really just a s and then you overshadow the [ __ ] out of it that’s the funny part about it was me trying to be delusional like no there’s no way they really put her in the back of the video that’s so bold though no I was like this has to be fake this is AI but you know what I’m saying be bold so I was like oh we’re being bold today but what happened was the little snippet.”
Lotto’s response wasn’t quite what you’d expect. Instead of firing shots at Ice Spice on Twitter as she typically would, she took a different route. She headed to the Bronx, specifically Ice Spice’s hometown, to shoot her music video for “Sunday Service.” Drama seems to be the name of the game among rap artists this year. Just days ago, it was Megan versus Nicki, and now it’s Lotto versus Ice Spice. These feuds seem to be cropping up every day. It remains uncertain how long Lotto plans to keep up the feud, but her shady move of shooting in Ice’s neighborhood suggests diss tracks might be on the horizon. As always, people wasted no time sharing their opinions. One commenter remarked, “No matter what Ice Spice does, we all know Lotto WAP outshines her effortlessly. Let’s be real, a girl who made a fart song can’t compete with Lotto.” Another chimed in, “Ice has no valid reason to dislike Lotto. It’s obvious someone’s been whispering in her ear, and it’s sad because they used to get along. This is just childish. Plus, Lotto is clearly the superior rapper.” Now, let’s hear your thoughts. What do you think about Lotto’s response to being humiliated by Ice Spice? Could Ice’s dissing of Lotto be a ploy to stay in Nicki’s good graces?
