Ice Spice and Doja Cat link-up for Instagram’s Close Friends Only podcast and get candid about moments in their life and career. A portion of the conversation finds the women discussing Doja Cat’s critics.
“What’s the biggest misconception about you?” asks the Bronx rapper.
“One is that I’m unoriginal,” responds Doja Cat, although Ice Spice claims to have never heard the opinion. “There’s a lot of people who think I, like, copy people. I pull a lot from — copy the greats… Then there’s some people who are like, ‘She’s flat-out unoriginal.’ That’s impossible!”
Elsewhere in the conversation, the Bronx native discusses her “embarrassing” first celebrity crush.
“It was Usher,” explains the “Princess Diana” performer in a clip shared by Billboard. “I saw him at the Met Gala and it was my first time ever seeing him, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, it’s him.”
“He’s beautiful,” added Doja Cat.
“Gorgeous man,” declared Ice Spice.
Doja Cat and Ice Spice have enjoyed successful years as both rappers are wrapping up Doja Cat’s Scarlet Tour. As the first headlining arena tour of her career, the trek finishes next week in Chicago. Ice Spice joined as the opening act during the November concert in Atlanta, replacing Doechii who took the stage in the first half of the journey.
Both are also Grammy-nominated at the upcoming 66th annual award show for their biggest songs of 2023. “Paint The Town Red” earned Doja Cat a Best Pop Solo Performance nomination as well as “Attention” landing in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category. Doja Cat has previously won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy Award for “Kiss Me More” with SZA in 2022.
After a breakout year, Ice Spice is up for Best New Artist, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her “Karma” collaboration with Taylor Swift, and Best Song Written for Visual Media for “Barbie World” with Nicki Minaj.
Close Friends Only is executive produced by Sun-ny Side Up and was created in collaboration with The Unwell Network. The podcast episode is available to stream now across Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Apple Podcasts.
