Nicki Minaj has been accused in the past of not supporting other female artists on the rise, but she has crowned the princess of hip hop now.
Ice Spice has reacted after receiving a huge stamp of approval from rap icon Nicki Minaj.
The “Munch (Feelin’ U)” star, who recently performed at Rolling Loud, graced the cover of Dazed magazine on Monday.
“The People’s Princess,” the headline said.
Minaj shared a photo of the cover on Twitter and her Instagram story, emphasizing Dazed’s headline. “Gag. The People’s PRINCESS 👑. catch it!!!” she wrote.

Nicki Minaj also recently spoke about her belief that record labels are doing payola to have other artists attack her on social media. With that said, it would be interesting to see if Ice Spice did in fact end up on the new label Nicki Minaj has launched. It would be great marketing and hype for her new artist by doing the co-signing of her before making the announcement that she is apart of her artist roster.
It appears that Nicki could also be throwing shade towards fellow hip hop artist, Latto, after the women had a very public fallout in 2022. The fans of both Latto and Ice Spice have been going at it online due to some believing that Ice Spice took the spot that Latto was predicted to have in the rap game as the new princess.
