Beyonce Knowles appears in the audience before accepting the award for best rap song for "Savage" at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Chris Pizzello/AP/ShutterstockBeyoncé is on a red streak! The 28-time Grammy award winner shared some Valentine’s Day looks to her Instagram page on Monday (Feb. 21), with a variety of glam outfits and elevated athleisure staples from her own Ivy Park collection.
The “Spirit” singer’s first look consists of a red turtleneck sweater with heart cutout detail on the back and PVC pants, completing the look with matching heels and a cherry shaped purse. The second look — which the former Destiny’s Child member wore on a private jet — shows the star in a red pullover hoodie and matching jogger pants, while the third look sees the singer in a hot pink bodycon dress with the signature Adidas stripes. All pieces are from Beyoncé’s recent Valentine’s Day themed Ivy Park x Adidas collection, which is appropriately titled Ivy Heart.
In an interview with Vogue China about the collection, Beyoncé explained that she wanted the clothing in the new series to empower anyone who wear it. “We all have that one outfit that instantly makes us feel powerful, sexy, confident and loved. We recognize that visceral feeling immediately,” she said. “With Ivy Heart I wanted to create a collection that makes everyone feel the joy of looking in the mirror and celebrate self-love. We used vibrant reds, pinks and neutrals with red as the dominant color. Red has always meant joy, sensuality and love to me.”
Though the singer has been putting an emphasis on her fashion endeavors, she is still working on a follow-up to 2020’s The Lion King: The Gift. In her September 2021 cover story with Harper’s Bazaar, Beyoncé insisted “Yes, the music is coming!” when asked for an update.

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.
