Fact Check: Is Ice Spice pregnant as rumors swirl after LA McDonald’s fight video goes viral?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Social media users have fueled viral rumors claiming that rapper Ice Spice is pregnant, sparking widespread discussion across multiple platforms.
The speculation emerges as she also faces heightened attention following a viral McDonald’s altercation video in Los Angeles, which reportedly shows her involved in a physical confrontation after being approached and slapped by another woman. As online narratives multiply and conflict, unverified pregnancy claims have further intensified debate around the incident. Let’s fact-check the claim.
Claim: Ice Spice is pregnant
The origin of the rumor that Ice Spice is pregnant remains unclear, but it has been widely circulated via a Facebook post shared by a user named Rap Queens Hub.
The post began with the statement, "Reports are circulating that Ice Spice is pregnant." It further added, "According to multiple sources, the Bronx rapper is expecting, with NFL star Stefon Diggs being named as the alleged father. Neither Ice Spice nor Diggs has commented publicly yet, so details remain limited."
The post also referenced fan reactions to the unverified claim, stating, "Some fans are already celebrating the possibility of new chapters for both artists, while others prefer to wait for confirmation before jumping to conclusions." It concluded by asking, "What do you make of these reports?"
Additionally, the Facebook post included a screenshot of an X user responding to Hoops Crave's post about the pregnancy rumor. The X user commented, "You guys won't believe who the father is." The screenshot featured a collage image of NFL star Stefon Diggs and Ice Spice.
Notably, several posts attributing the pregnancy rumor to HoopsCrave have circulated online, further fueling widespread speculation.
Fact Check: No evidence supports Ice Spice's pregnancy rumors
However, there is currently no verified evidence or official confirmation to support claims that Ice Spice is pregnant, and the rumor appears to stem from unsubstantiated online posts. The claims have been linked to HoopsCrave, a page known for publishing parody-style content, and no credible sources have confirmed the information.
The speculation also emerged alongside a separate viral video that allegedly shows Ice Spice involved in an altercation at a McDonald’s in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning, where she appears to be slapped by a fan.
According to reports, security footage shows Ice Spice sitting in a booth with a friend when another woman approaches them and attempts to join their table.
Ice Spice and her friend gesture for the woman to leave, but the situation escalates when the woman reacts by slapping the rapper. The altercation intensifies as the woman’s companion tries to pull her away, while Ice Spice moves toward her.
Additional footage from outside the restaurant reportedly shows Ice Spice picking up a phone dropped by someone associated with the fan, which she is said to have smashed.
This is not the first time Ice Spice has faced pregnancy rumors. In 2024, a similar claim went viral after fans speculated about her appearance in a photo where she wore a white mesh halter top with gray shorts.
In one image, she appeared to have a slightly protruding stomach, prompting comments such as, “R U PREGNANT????,” “Bae…that third picture. Tell me it ain’t so,” and “Who’s the father?" Ice Spice responded to the speculation at the time, dismissing it by tweeting, “Nobody pregnant, just phat."
