Rising Bronx rapper Ice Spice has confirmed that the much‑publicized feud between her and fellow artist Latto wasn’t actually a real “beef” — but more a misunderstanding and industry hype than an actual personal grudge. During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, Ice Spice was asked about the rumors surrounding their supposed rivalry and explained that there was never serious conflict between them to begin with. “It wasn’t a real beef to begin with, to be honest,” she said, making it clear that what fans perceived as tension was never truly serious.
The idea of a feud between the two rappers emerged from fan speculation in 2023 and 2024, fueled in part by lyrical exchanges and proximity in their respective careers. For example, some listeners interpreted lines in Latto’s “Fine as Can Be” as referencing Ice Spice’s “Munch (Feelin’ U)”, and Ice’s own track “Think U The S**t (Fart)” was seen by some as a rebuttal — though Ice herself has described that response as playful rather than hostile.
The perception of conflict was also influenced by their respective associations in the wider rap community. Early on, Latto worked with Cardi B on a remix of “Put It on da Floor”, while Ice Spice collaborated with Nicki Minaj on remixes including “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World”, leading fans to speculate that their different alliances might be a source of tension.
Despite the chatter, Ice Spice reiterated that any perceived animosity wasn’t grounded in real personal issues: when asked why she ultimately decided to move past it, she said that their collaboration on the track “Gyatt” was just fun to make and that everyone joked around on set. She even remembered her manager urging them to wrap up because everyone was having such a good time.
Their cooperation on “Gyatt” — released in September 2025 — served as a public strong sign that any earlier impressions of conflict were no longer relevant. The video and song brought them together in a way that emphasized collaboration and mutual respect rather than rivalry, something that resonated with many fans who had grown tired of feud narratives.
Industry insiders and critics have long pointed out that perceived rap “beefs” are often amplified by fans and media even when artists themselves don’t view the situation as serious. In this case, both Ice Spice and Latto have shown that they can work together without personal tension, illustrating how quickly narratives of conflict can emerge — and dissipate — in the fast‑moving world of hip‑hop culture.
In summary, Ice Spice’s comments make it clear that her alleged feud with Latto was largely rumor and speculation rather than a genuine personal conflict. Their collaboration on “Gyatt” effectively underscored that the two artists were never deeply at odds, and what fans once read as animosity was ultimately just part of the performance and buzz surrounding contemporary rap music.
