Ice Spice Clears the Air: No ‘Real Beef’ with Latto, Calls Rumored Feud Overhyped

By Music Desk December 28, 2025

Bronx rapper Ice Spice has officially addressed the long-rumored feud with Atlanta’s Latto, declaring in a candid interview that there was “never any real beef” between them. The 25-year-old star made the revelation during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen on December 22, 2025, putting to rest years of fan speculation fueled by subtle lyrical jabs, social media theories, and industry alliances.

When a caller asked what inspired her to “squash” the supposed drama for their September 2025 collaboration “Gyatt,” Ice Spice responded bluntly: “It wasn’t a real beef to begin with, to be honest.” She went on to rave about the positive vibes on set, saying the music video shoot was filled with laughter and fun. “Everybody was just joking around the whole time… Shoutout to Latto,” she added, emphasizing the genuine camaraderie.

The rumored tension dates back to 2023-2024, largely amplified by fans interpreting song lyrics as disses. Key moments included Ice Spice’s “Think U the S— (Fart)” in January 2024, seen as a response to Latto’s Cardi B collab “Put It on da Floor Again,” and Latto’s “Sunday Service” perceived as a counter. Additional fuel came from their respective ties: Ice Spice’s close work with Nicki Minaj and Latto’s with Cardi B, amid the ongoing Minaj-Cardi rivalry.

However, sources indicate much of the “feud” was outsider-driven—fan theories, media speculation, and coincidental timing turning playful competition into perceived animosity. Ice Spice hinted at this in prior interviews, noting in 2024 that direct communication would likely yield “a blank stare” with no actual issue.

The turning point came in September 2025 with the surprise drop of “Gyatt,” a high-energy track that debuted strongly and featured a WWE-themed video full of playful energy. The collab was followed by a warm joint appearance at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where they presented an award together, further signaling unity.

Ice Spice’s latest comments have resonated across social media, with fans expressing relief and surprise. Many praise the maturity, viewing it as a positive example in female rap, where collaborations often triumph over manufactured rivalries. “Gyatt” continues to perform well on charts, proving the power of putting rumors aside.

As both artists focus on individual projects—Ice Spice teasing new music and Latto building on her momentum—the clarification underscores how media and fan narratives can exaggerate non-issues. In Ice’s words, the video set was pure joy, a far cry from the dramatic headlines.
