Ice Spice has every reason to be proud of what she’s accomplished early in her career. With a string of hit singles, major collaborations, and sold-out tours, she’s become one of the standout names of the 2020s. Still, her journey hasn’t been without its share of challenges and criticism. The New York drill rapper has had to deal with plenty of negativity along the way.
A lot of that noise has unfortunately been centered around her body, which is disappointing to see. For quite some time, fans expressed sadness and even frustration after noticing her weight loss. Before she focused on fitness and dieting, her supporters — and many admirers online — were captivated by her thick thighs and curvy figure.
Many begged her to return to her previous shape, while others unfairly accused her of taking Ozempic. Watching those conversations unfold online was disheartening, as it clearly showed how inconsistent people can be when it comes to body positivity.
Despite all of that, Ice Spice held her head high and stayed committed to her fitness goals. She deserves a lot of respect for standing by her choices and not letting the criticism get to her.
That said, those who preferred her fuller look were thrilled when she appeared to have regained some of her curves around March of this year.
While addressing those who criticized her changing figure, Ice also admitted she’s happy to have her curves back. In a clip shared by No Jumper, the “Baddie Baddie” rapper posted an Instagram video of herself twerking and wrote, “so happy to be thick asf again.”
The comment section was full of supportive reactions. One person wrote, “I think we are all happy to see you again,” while another added, “My girl had to go back to factory settings [praying hands emoji].”
More than anything, it’s great to see that Ice feels confident, comfortable, and healthy in her own body again.
She even revealed in September that she’s been eating more meat to achieve her current look. “Protein is great for you. I love protein. I try to get a lot of protein in, to be honest. That’s the key to being thick. You can’t be thick without mad protein. I swear.”
In other updates, Ice has been busy in the studio. She recently released “Pretty Privilege” as she gears up for her next album. The track sparked plenty of discussion, especially because some listeners believe it includes a subtle dig at her rival Cardi B. The two have rekindled their feud since the release of AM I THE DRAMA? “She might talk sh*t on the ‘Gram, but she won’t talk it to my face,” Ice raps on the single.
Suki Waterhouse has spoken candidly about how she found herself crying constantly after the birth of her daughter.
The singer and actress reflected on her experience as a mother more than two years after she and her partner, actor Robert Pattinson, welcomed their baby girl in March 2024.
During an interview with The Standard published on Thursday, Suki explained that motherhood has completely shifted her outlook on life.
"I think it's made me marvel at our humanness. It's so funny, even just your kid getting a fever, watching a little body recover from that, it's brought me down to what it is to be alive and I really love that," she said. "It feels very survivalist and medieval in a way, especially birth, birth is medieval."
The Daisy Jones & The Six actress, 34, shared that she was caught off guard by just how exposed and emotional she felt after giving birth to her daughter.
"I'm almost two and a half years in now, but when she was first born, I remember thinking that I can't believe everybody does this and I can't believe how vulnerable I feel," she told the publication. "I was crying all the time."
Suki continued, "It makes me cry now thinking about it. It was just... shocking."
The Notting Hill singer also admitted that she has never considered herself someone who cries easily, making those emotions all the more surprising.
"It's so f**king weird! I'm not a cryer! I'm so not an emotional person, I'm such a Capricorn. But being a mum just fed me up in such a sweet way," she stated. "It just absolutely broke open my heart, and I'm just madly in love and, despite my crying right now, I enjoy it so much and I'm so taken by my daughter and so in love with doing it with my partner and I just feel the preciousness of it very much."
Suki and Twilight actor Robert, 40, have been in a relationship since 2018 and announced they were expecting their first child together toward the end of 2023.
The pair have largely kept their romance away from the spotlight and have yet to publicly share the name of their daughter.
