The rapper’s take on competition in hip-hop is both refreshing and thought-provoking, challenging the stereotypes and expectations often placed on female artists in the industry. Her perspective sheds light on the complexity of the music scene and the diverse attitudes that exist within it.

Ice Spice’s candid remarks and the insights shared in her Variety interview have sparked a conversation among fans and industry insiders. It remains to be seen how her perspective on competition will influence the ongoing dialogue surrounding female rappers in hip-hop.
She shared the statement, saying,
“It is a competition at the end of the day. People want to be all ‘I’m a girl’s girl,’ but then behind the scenes being bi*ches,”
She acknowledges the pervasive nature of competition among female rappers, whether they actively seek it or not,
“The girls, are doing amazing. I’m excited to see it. I feel like the competition is what keeps us all excited because I think we all secretly enjoy competing and seeing who put that shit on better and who’s gon’ get the most views.”
She further added that she is being transparent about what she is sharing, and that’s why it is normal for her to talk about the competitiveness in the industry,
I can be transparent, and I know the competition is checking on me too, which is why it’s OK to say that. Because it’s like, ‘Yeah, girl, I’m watching you and I know you watching me.’ And boys are watching too, because they be secretly haters.
She concluded her statements by shedding light on the industry that everyone is competing with each other nowadays,
“But everybody today is competing with everybody no matter if you a boy, girl, nonbinary, whatever it is. You still checking in on your competition. That’s in every industry.”
Another notable moment in the interview was when she also mentioned her reconciliation with Matty Healy, the lead singer of the pop-rock band The 1975. Healy had previously made derogatory comments about Spice on a podcast. Still, he has since apologized, and the two artists are now on good terms, showcasing the power of forgiveness and growth in the industry.
