Ice Spice is giving her critics a little therapy session.
On Wednesday (Sept. 16), the rapper took to her X account to offer a one-line diagnosis of her detractors.
“n****s will pretend to hate u just to regulate they b!tch nervous system,” she wrote.
Although her replies quickly filled up, the “Princess Diana” rapper offered no further explanation of what she meant.
The comment comes during a period when Ice Spice has been more open about how she responds to criticism. In a 2025 interview with Nylon, she admitted that her initial response to debates over her lyricism was misguided.
“I think my mistake was basically… What’s the word? Letting people feel like they were right a little bit,” she said at the time. “Like people were trying to say that I’m not a lyricist, and I just kind of went in with the attitude of ‘Yeah, they’re right. I’m not.’ But it’s just not true.”
Ice Spice also also said, beyond the opinions of her trusted collaborators, she appreciates hearing from music critics.
“They actually study music and care about it,” she said. “So I feel like I’d rather hear their opinion. I’m more interested in that because at least it’ll be paragraphs explaining why they feel that way and I’ll be able to understand the person better versus just one little hateful ass comment from a private page. At least there’s an author and a face attached.”
