Beyoncé accepts the Best Rap Song award for 'Savage' onstage during the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards at Los Angeles Convention Center on March 14, 2021 in Los Angeles.
Kevin Winter/GI for The Recording AcademyBeyoncé attended the 2022 Super Bowl alongside husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy Carter on Sunday (Feb. 13), and wore a show-stopping outfit that commanded attention, despite not performing at the annual sporting event.
The “Love on Top” singer shared images of her look to Instagram following the big game. Her outfit featured a host of stylish pieces, including a short, tan trench coat, a black lace black bustier top, and high-waisted blue denim shorts. To accessorize, Beyoncé donned simple strappy black heels and cat-eye sunglasses. But she really took things to the next level with a diamond choker necklace and earrings.
Though Jay-Z and Blue Ivy took centerstage at the game by hanging out on the field prior to kick off, eagled-eyed fans of the 28-time Grammy winner later spotted her in the stands alongside close friend and former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland, singing along to Mary J. Blige’s two-song performance during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Beyoncé has performed at the Super Bowl on two occasions: in 2013 as a solo act, with a special appearance from Destiny’s Child members Rowland and Michelle Williams, and in 2016 alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars. In 2016, the 40-year-old recalled how exhilarating it was to perform at the event, and said her 2013 performance wouldn’t have been possible without Rowland and Williams by her side. “It’s one of those magical performances you can’t recreate,” she told CBS. “I wanted it to be something iconic and something that people would never forget.”
“I couldn’t do this without bringing Kelly [Rowland] and Michelle [Williams]. Some of the biggest songs of my career have been with Destiny’s Child. It’s a part of my legacy, it’s a part of my history,” she added. “That was really a beautiful, wonderful thing to have my sisters left and right of me. I’m just very grateful that I had them there and I think they elevated my performance so much. And the fact that we hadn’t performed together in so long. It was like old times.”
Though Beyoncé doesn’t have any release date set for her new music, in her September Harper’s Bazaar cover story, she teased that she was in the recording studio working on material. She confirmed, “Yes, the music is coming!”

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.
