“When I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused. Because I heard ‘chubby Chinese lady’ or some sh*t like that, and I’m like, ‘Huh? What does that even mean?’” Ice Spice told Variety for her new cover issue. “First of all, I’m thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologized or whatever.
The “Barbie World” rapper, who is of Dominican and Nigerian descent, then admitted: “The whole time, I didn’t really care.”
