What Happened To Ice Spice And Matty Healy?
During an appearance on “The Adam Friedland Show” in February, Healy mentioned that he messaged Ice Spice on Instagram. Hosts Friedland and Nick Mullen responded by continuing a series of racist insults about Ice Spice, calling her “Inuit Spice Girl” and “a chubby Chinese woman” before while mocking Chinese and Hawaiian accents, causing Healy to just burst out laughing.
British alt-rock artist Yungblud appears to have called out Healy, Friedland and Mullen for their behavior on Twitter on February 11, wrote, “Love listening to three privileged white guys sitting around and protesting against a hot young black female artist.” But Healy didn’t seem to repent, instead responding with a Instagram Video rant mocking the artist.

Not because I was upset that my joke was misinterpreted, but because I didn’t want Ice Spice to think I was promoting* ck I love you, Ice Spice I’m so sorry I don’t want anything to be misinterpreted as mean I don’t mind being a bit of a joker… but I don’t want to be seen as one vile man.”
Taylor Swift and Ice Spice’s “Karma” Remix
Swift’s “Karma” is all about… well, karma – the idea that a person’s actions will determine their fate. On the track, Swift uses the lithe, “I keep my streets clean,” which means she strives to make the right choices in life so she can feel confident that Obstacles are on her side, while those against her cannot. “Karma is a relaxing thought, are you jealous of you?” she sings in the chorus.
The song seems to take on new layers due to Healy’s controversial appearance on “The Adam Friedland Show” and Ice Spice’s involvement, intentionally or not.
Ice Spice has yet to directly address Healy’s comments or his apology. However, some fans think she may have cleverly (and appropriately) returned her “Karma” remix verse, which features the rapping, “Got you waving the beautiful white flag, thank you very much.” thank you for that money, thought it would save you, now you are changing your behaviour.It’s okay baby, you don’t need to worry, karma is never lazy, so I always Hold your head high, try to get up.” It’s worth noting, however, that it’s unclear when Swift and Ice Spice actually documented this collaboration, and whether Swift or the rapper was aware of Healy’s appearance on “The Adam Friedland Show” at the time. .
