Ice Spice has been low-key since her debut album dropped in July, but she hasn't been idle. The rapper has been traveling worldwide and keeping her fans updated on social media. She shares lots of pictures from her trip stops, but her recent ones from Dubai really caught attention. During this visit, she posted many striking images, leading to a flood of positive comments from fans and fellow artists. Among the twelve photos, some showcase her riding dirt bikes and partying, while others feature her holding a baby tiger. However, the photos that really got people talking were the more revealing ones. Saweetie commented, calling them "cute, sexy, c**ty," and many well-known artists like Tyga, GloRilla, Camila Cabello, and SZA liked the post.
This wave of admiration is refreshing for Ice Spice, especially after facing heavy criticism in 2024. Her album, Y2K, underperformed in sales, moving only 28,000 copies in its first week, leading to questions about her star power. Ice Spice pushed back against the negativity after the album's release, expressing pride in her sales and noting that it sold more than her first EP. She thanked her supporters on Twitter, saying her world tour has been enjoyable, and shared a memorable moment from a Boston concert.
However, her streaming numbers have taken a hit since the album release. Reports show that her monthly Spotify listeners fell from 47 million in August 2023 to just 15 million in July, a drop of over 30 million. Though her popularity may not be what it was last year, she continues to work hard and enjoy her time in the spotlight, with support from peers who have been in the music industry for years.
