Why Are Ice Spice & Cleotrapa Beefing? A Breakdown

According to Cleotrapa, Ice Spice invited her to be her opening act a day before they were scheduled to hit the road for her “Y2K! World Tour.” She described the last-minute request as “calculated” and claimed that she was only invited on tour as an attempt to clean up the rapper’s image after her derogatory text messages were leaked. In April 2024, the headliner’s public fallout with Baby Storme, another former friend of the Y2K artist, was a case for serious damage control after her ex-best friend accused the rapper of being a “colorist,” “fatphobic,” and, overall, not a good friend. She exposed screenshots of their private conversations that also showed Ice Spice calling Nicki Minaj “ungrateful” and “delusional” after the release of their hit song, “Barbie World.”
