Ice Spice is gushing about her unexpected friendship with Taylor Swift, dubbing her as her “closest celebrity friend”.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Ice Spice reminisced about the moment her manager called to say Swift wanted to collaborate on a remix of Karma from her album Midnights.
She was in her first New Jersey apartment with producer Riot, working on recordings, when the call came in.
“He usually texts, but he called, and he’s like, ‘You ready for this one?’ And I’m thinking it’s going to be some bad news or something,” the rapper recounted to the publication.
“He’s like, ‘Taylor Swift has a record for you to get on from her album.’ I’m playing it cool on the phone. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. Super cool.’
And then I hang up the phone, and I’m hysterically crying. I’m in my walk-in closet, and I’m like, ‘Bro, this is not real life.’ Riot definitely filmed it. That’ll probably be in a documentary one day.”
Because the rapper had recently begun to gain popularity, some believed that Swift’s collaboration on the bonus track with Ice Spice was an attempt by the “Fortnight” singer to gain influence.
