Ice Spice has no time for the haters – especially those who are shading her friendship with Taylor Swift.
The rapper, 24, addressed the rumors that the “Anti-Hero” singer, 34, is using their bond for clout during a Thursday, July 25, interview with Rolling Stone.
“[It’s] so rude to me, [because] why would she not want to be my friend?” Spice asked the outlet. “Taylor f-ks with me. She’s so funny. I think our personalities mesh really well.”
Doubling down, Spice (real name Isis Naija Gaston) insisted the musicians are incredibly close, describing Swift as her “closest celebrity friend”.

Swift and Spice first teamed up in 2023 for a remix of Swift’s song ‘”Karma,” with the collaboration peaking at number two on the Billboard 100.
Following their collab, Swift has made no secret of the fact she’s just as fond of Spice. In the same interview with Rolling Stone, Swift praised Spice for her impressive business acumen.
“I love when I meet a new artist who takes a keen interest in not just the music, but the music industry and how it works,” the Tortured Poets Department artist told the publication.”Seeing Ice lean into the strategic, financial, and business aspects of her career is really exciting for me.”
