Rick Kern/WireImageThe Hot Girl coach and a light switch connoisseur teamed up for a jungle-themed Super Bowl commercial for their favorite brand of chips, while a pop star enlisted her country icon godmother to help cell phone users with poor service get in touch with a better network. But which commercial from the 2022 Super Bowl is your favorite?
Megan Thee Stallion and Charlie Puth appeared in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos’ Super Bowl commercial this year, but not in their normal forms. The television spot sees the Hot Girl coach playing herself and a CGI bird hanging out in an alligator’s mouth, while Puth voices a beatboxing fox as Salt N’ Pepa’s “Push It” plays in the background, interrupting a wildlife photographer’s attempt at getting the perfect shot.
Miley Cyrus, with the help of Dolly Parton, wrote a faux-charity single as a PSA to those with bad cellular connectivity to make the switch over to T-Mobile. “America’s got a serious problem, so I’m gonna get it off my chest — 5G phones trapped on limited 5G networks,” Parton says, with Cyrus singing “Do It for the Phones” with the help of a backing choir.
Meanwhile, Kanye West had a starring role in the McDonald’s Super Bowl spot, appearing at the restaurant chain’s drive-through in a massive tank-sized vehicle, asking the attendant at the window, “Can I get uhhhhhh …” before completing his order.
Other Super Bowl commercial featuring musicians include Snoop Dogg appearing alongside Martha Stewart, Lizzo, Kenny G, Will Smith and more, but which ad is your favorite? Vote below!

Ice Spice has released her new single “Pretty Privilege,” marking a noticeable shift from her signature New York drill-inspired sound. But the change in style isn’t the only thing that’s getting people talking. Fans are once again speculating about the rumored tension between her and Cardi B, a topic that first gained attention when a snippet of the track appeared online.
For those who missed it, Cardi B had previously gone on a rant that included jabs at Ice Spice and her manager. Not long after, Spice previewed “Pretty Privilege,” which featured the lyric, “She might talk s**t on the ’Gram, but she won’t talk it to my face.” That line quickly sparked debate among listeners, with many believing it was aimed at the AM I THE DRAMA? rapper.
This added fuel to speculation that a rivalry might be brewing. During the phone call in question, Cardi B criticized Ice Spice while speaking to her manager, James Rosemond Jr. She later apologized for her remarks about Latto and claimed that Rosemond Jr. was responsible for leaking their private conversation.
Now that the full version of “Pretty Privilege” has been released, Complex reports that other theories have emerged. Some fans believe the song might actually target Brooklyn rapper Stunna Sandy, whom Spice was said to call out in her earlier track “Baddie Baddie.” On that record, she rapped, “I know that she wants to be me / But she is not doing it well,” leading to renewed discussions about hidden disses.
While talk of a feud between Cardi B and Ice Spice isn’t new, both artists have publicly denied having issues in the past. Even so, online chatter continues to shape how fans perceive their relationship. Aside from that controversial phone call, there’s no real evidence to suggest they’re actually on bad terms.
Still, as speculation keeps circulating, the story might take new turns. Whether it’s genuine tension or just fan-driven drama, it’s clear that the Internet has played a big role in keeping the conversation alive. For now, Cardi and Ice Spice don’t seem particularly close, but time will tell if the rumors fade or resurface once again.
