Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj are the best of friends, according to media outlets. They have released two songs together, “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World (with Aqua).” People online even went as far as naming Ice Spice the ‘princess of rap’ in retrospect to Nicki Minaj being the’ queen of rap. ‘ So what exactly caused the beef between them?
A few weeks ago, an ex-friend of Ice Spice, an upcoming artist named Baby Storme, took her chats with the rap star to Instagram, where she talked about work, her relationship with her mum, and most importantly Nicki Minaj.

Baby Storme, who is a friend of Ice Spice, got on Instagram to rant about her and air out her dirty laundry. She posted 5 screenshots of their chats dated as far back as the 20th of May, 2023, only a month and a few days after Nicki and Ice Spice dropped their first song together. In the chats, Ice Spice talked about Nicki Minaj being manipulative and wanting to underpay her.
The conversations talk about how she and Nicki Minaj were having problems with negotiations as Nicki asked her to join her vanity label, “Heavy on It.” The contract Nicki wanted her to sign would give her publishing to all of Ice Spice’s songs. This included 3rd party writing competitions, according to Ice Spice, and she felt like that would move her backward.
“Like I’m already signed, so why would I want to move backward?” was the exact thing Ice Spice said. This followed her friend who mentioned the fact that things are different now compared to when Nicki got signed at the beginning of her career.
“She gaslights me too much. I got to love her from a distance for my mental health”, was Ice Spice’s response.
Nicki Minaj “Ungrateful and Delusional”
In the chats with baby Storme, Ice Spice also mentioned the fact that she was the one who brought Nicki on for the Barbie World song, as Barbie had asked her.
When Storme asked about them coming to a compromise about the contract, Ice responded by saying, “Hopefully, but we’re about to put out another track by June for the Barbie soundtrack, which is an opportunity I brought for her”. She further added, “because Barbie asked me to do it alone, but since that is her brand, I invited her on and she doesn’t even see it as me bringing her something”.
Ice Spice even went as far as comparing Nicki to her mother by saying, “She’s kind of like my mum, ungrateful and delusional”.
It Only Got Worse From There

As the chats went on with Baby Storme and Ice Spice moving to her issues with her mother, the topic eventually went back to Nicki Minaj, “Mind you we wanted to pay her artist fee, yes 100%.”
She also mentioned the fact that Nicki was jealous of her. “I think she’s jealous because she said ‘James you think you the man and think you so cool in the interview’”. Ice Spice followed up that message by saying, “Idk why she mentioned that, and James was the one who said I own my masters in the billboard interview.”
Baby Storme soon deleted the screenshots of the chat and then posted clips of new music she is releasing soon. Neither Ice Spice nor Nicki Minaj has come out to deny or accept the allegations thrown towards them, but fans have already started berating their comment sections in curiosity.
Have the Princess and Queen of Rap cut each other off, or is it just a publicity stunt?
