Ice Spice Confirms New Single Is About Latto, Explains the Beef

Ice Spice has officially addressed the growing tension between her and fellow rapper Latto, confirming that her latest single, “Think U The Shit (Fart),” was directed at the Atlanta rapper. The track, which dropped last month, sparked speculation due to its pointed lyrics, and Ice Spice has now made it clear that the song targets Latto.

The Song’s Message

The track features an intense, video game-inspired beat from producers RIOTUSA, Synthetic, and Venny, and Ice Spice delivers sharp lines like:

“I got my foot on they necks, I can’t let up / She all on the floor, told her get up.”

These lyrics were widely interpreted as a dig at Latto’s song, “Put It On Da Floor,” which has been a hot topic in rap circles. On a Twitter Spaces appearance, Ice Spice explained the song’s inspiration and why it was aimed at Latto. She recalled seeing her own music video unexpectedly pop up in a short clip posted by Latto, which she found insulting.

The Catalyst for the Beef

Ice Spice said she initially thought the video might be a fake or AI-generated, but upon realizing it was a real snippet from Latto’s post, she felt compelled to respond with the track.

“Seeing that I’m in the back of your weak-ass snippet… So I was like, ‘Wait a second — that’s me?’ So I’m like, ‘Okay, since we’re talking about me, let’s talk about me,’ and I dropped that.”

This moment, where Ice Spice felt her image was being used disrespectfully, ignited the feud and led to her decision to release the diss track.

The Larger Rivalry and Industry Competition

The drama between the two rappers appears to have escalated after Latto sided with Megan Thee Stallion in her ongoing feud with Nicki Minaj, while Ice Spice teamed up with Minaj on the hit song “Barbie World” in 2023. Additionally, Ice Spice has hinted at larger tensions within the rap world, acknowledging the competitive nature among female rappers. During a recent Variety interview, she expressed that while many women in the industry put on a “girl’s girl” front, competition remains fierce.

“It is a competition at the end of the day… I feel like the competition is what keeps us all excited because I think we all secretly enjoy competing and seeing who put that shit on better.”

This sentiment reflects Ice Spice’s belief that, despite outward support, the rivalry among women in rap is intense, with each artist aiming to top the others in views and style.

Latto’s Response to Copycat Accusations

Ice Spice and Latto’s issues are rumored to stem from accusations that Latto copied Ice Spice’s signature move. Latto was once seen striking a pose similar to Ice Spice’s trademark bent-over position, sparking backlash from fans and media. In response, Latto fired back on Twitter, addressing the copycat claims and defending herself.

“Every time y’all accuse me of copying folks ima clear it up. Nun mo nun less,” she tweeted. “I don’t like how y’all take my tweets & make them fit ur weak ass narratives.”

While Latto denied copying Ice Spice, it seems the tension over these accusations may have played a role in the ongoing conflict between the two artists.

What’s Next for Ice Spice and Latto?

As the drama continues, fans are eagerly watching to see if this rivalry will escalate further. With both artists rising in the rap world, it’s clear that competition is at the heart of the tension, and with Ice Spice openly acknowledging it, this could only add fuel to the fire. Will the two continue to throw subliminal shots at each other, or is there a chance for reconciliation? Only time will tell.
