Ice Spice has addressed her long simmering feud with Latto, and the “Deli” rapper cleared the air saying there is no issue between them — at least from her side.

The Bronx princess graced the Rolling Stone cover published Thursday (July 25), a day ahead of her debut album Y2K!‘s release, and attempted to put her rumored beef with the “Big Mama” rapper to bed.


“I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me,” she said.

Fans speculation ran rampant at the top of 2024 that Ice Spice’s “Think U the Shit (Fart)” subliminally took shots at Latto. The “Big Energy” rhymer returned fire with what some perceived to be Ice disses on “Sunday Service” in February, and she filmed the music video in Ice’s Bronx hometown.

“Think I’m the s–t? B—h, I know it, h-/ Jesus walked on water, I got ice boilin’ though,” Latto raps on the Billboard Hot 100 hit. She also flipped Ice Spice’s single when Latto received a “Think I’m the s–t, b—h????” poop emoji cake after headlining Atlanta’s Birthday Bash concert in June.

“I can understand a friendly competition, but I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out, and it’s just not even funny. Like, bro, ‘Think U the Shit’ is from January,” Ice continued. “You’re going to post a piece of s–t cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re taking something that’s supposed to be a fun moment for you and you’re making it about me again.”

In Latto’s Billboard cover story, she downplayed the prospects of a potential rap battle with Ice Spice. “If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go tit for tat with,” Latto said. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that?”

The jabs could continue from the Grammy Award nominees deeper into the summer with Ice Spice’s Y2K! debut arriving on Friday (July 26) and Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea album due out in August.

Sum 41 Scores Second Alternative Airplay No. 1 This Year With ‘Dopamine’

The band's second and third No. 1s have led over two decades after its first in 2001.

After earning its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” rises a spot to No. 1 on the Nov. 30-dated survey.

The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay command for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after Sum 41’s first No. 1, “Fat Lip,” in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest break between rulers for an act in the chart’s 36-year history. It shattered the previous best test of patience, held by The Killers, who waited 13 years and six months between the reigns of “When You Were Young” in 2006 and “Caution” in 2020.
