Woman explains why she slapped Ice Spice

The woman, identified as Vayah, said the incident started when she and her friends stopped at McDonald’s after coming from the beach. “We decided to stop by McDonald’s because we all had to use the bathroom,” she said.

She claimed a friend noticed Ice Spice, so she went up to her. “I go up to them, and I'm giving her a compliment,” she said. According to her, the response was rude. “She was like, 'Why are you over here? You can leave, bye,” she said, adding, “I’m just giving you guys a compliment.”

The woman said things escalated after an exchange of words. “She calls me b****, and I hit her,” she said, explaining the slap. The woman added that she was removed, but the fight continued outside. “I got escorted out, then I hear Ice Spice saying, ‘Where is that... I want to fight her,” she claimed.

She also accused the rapper of damaging a phone during the chaos. “She picks up one of my homies’ phones and broke his screen,” she said. In the end, she said, “She was being disrespectful and rude, which is why we fought.”
