Ice Spice, née Isis Naija Gaston, expressed her love for Minaj publicly while visiting TRL where she told host Jamila Mustafa that her favorite music artist is the “Super Freaky Girl” rhymer.
“Ya’ll already know its Nicki Minaj,” Ice beamed as she answered the question on live TV.
She also mentioned in an interview with Erykah Badu and her daughter Puma that her dream collaboration would be with the fellow New York rapper. She admitted that Nicki would, “Eat that sh*t up, too” when speaking about a “Munch” remix. “But another dream collab is Doja Cat,” she added.

To tie it all in, the two dropped the royally tasteful visual for “Princess Diana (remix)” this month, where they both show off their assets while wearing luxurious lounge wear. The pair also traded scenes in a “pinked-out” royal palace before a dazzling backdrop.
The queen of the Barbz and the captain of the “Spice Cabinet” vibe together on a bed and in front of a vanity, where they do each other’s makeup and have a twerk session.
