00:00 Hey, it's Ice Spice, and today I'm chatting with Variety.
00:03 (upbeat music)
00:05 Thank you MTV.
00:13 (crowd cheering)
00:15 Oh my God, this is so cool.
00:16 It was surreal.
00:19 I was crying.
00:20 I was trying to hold my tears back.
00:22 It was so hard.
00:23 I'm just so grateful, so blessed, so excited.
00:27 Very, very proud.
00:28 I'm definitely gonna keep it in my studio for inspiration.
00:33 And yeah, right next to my plaques.
00:35 My inspo was Britney's 2003 VMA carpet look.
00:40 That's what I had sent to Dolce.
00:41 POV, you're in front of Ice Spice at the VMAs.
00:46 Oh, she just looks like that all the time.
00:48 That's my sis.
00:51 She's so funny.
00:52 We was just sipping a little something, something,
00:54 just chatting, vibing.
00:56 ♪ Karma is my boyfriend ♪
00:58 ♪ Karma is a guy ♪
01:00 ♪ Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend ♪
01:03 That was mostly through management.
01:05 I was talking about how I was watching Taylor's documentary
01:08 'cause I just wanted to really take notes
01:10 as an artist and stuff like that.
01:11 Just like how the lifestyle is
01:13 for such a big artist like her.
01:15 My manager heard me talking about that
01:16 and had reached out to her team,
01:17 and then they had a song for me,
01:19 and everything just played out real good.
01:22 What I took away from Taylor's documentary
01:24 was that you really do need to work hard,
01:27 and not everything gonna be as easy as it seems.
01:31 Ice Spice, Munchkin's drink.
01:33 - What would that be?
01:34 - You put the Munchkin in the Dunkin'.
01:37 - I think I got replaced.
01:38 - The Dunkin' opportunity is so crazy to me.
01:41 I just love a good brand collab, you know what I'm saying?
01:45 Money just makes sense,
01:46 and I just felt like Dunkin' just made a lot of sense,
01:48 and I'm really excited.
01:50 I'm a Dunkin' guru.
01:51 - I'm not seeing it.
01:52 - Ice Spice, my fans are the Munchkins.
01:54 - Where you going with this?
01:55 - Ben Affleck is a very, very comforting person
01:57 to be directed by,
01:58 because he's just been in it for so long
02:01 that I just felt very secure working with him,
02:04 you know what I'm saying?
02:05 He made me feel comfortable,
02:07 and he just guided it well.
02:09 He had his Batman figure or whatever in his office,
02:14 and that was fire.
02:15 I'm really excited for a tour with Doja Cat.
02:17 I just know we're gonna kill it.
02:19 Everybody's just so talented, involved,
02:22 and I'm so excited it's gonna be my first tour,
02:25 so I can't wait to see my fans in real life.
02:27 I like intimate venues.
02:29 Like, last night I went to a really intimate venue,
02:31 and it was so fun,
02:32 but I do like a big stadium moment, too.
02:35 I like both, to be honest.
02:37 Both have pros and cons or whatever.
02:39 My favorite song to record on the Deluxe was "Delhi"
02:42 for sure, that's my favorite song right now.
02:44 That song really turned me up.
02:46 And my favorite music video was "Delhi."
02:50 I'm not gonna lie, yeah.
02:51 ♪ 100 bands in Chenelle ♪
02:52 ♪ But I'm still shaking ass in a deli ♪
02:54 We filmed it in Harlem, in a deli.
02:57 You know I love me a deli.
02:58 And it was just a bunch of my homegirls
03:02 and just people around that I feel comfortable with,
03:05 so it was a vibe.
03:07 - What's your go-to deli order?
03:09 - Ooh, it's always gonna be a turkey,
03:13 lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese,
03:16 on a roll, cold,
03:18 with a little bit of mayonnaise
03:20 and some chips, probably.
03:21 I put the chips in the sandwich.

03:32 I always just felt like Nicki
03:34 was such a big inspiration to me,
03:36 you know what I'm saying, growing up.
03:37 Just as a female from New York in general,
03:40 I feel like she gives us a lot of confidence.
03:42 I'm just a fan and I guess management let her know that
03:46 and it just, we clicked and it just worked.
03:48 I'm so grateful to have two songs
03:51 and music videos with her.
03:53 That's just iconic.
03:55 ♪ We both from the Bronx ♪
03:56 ♪ So I know that you dirty, dirty ♪
03:57 ♪ How you do me like ♪
03:59 My favorite spot in New York is Fordham.
04:01 I feel like I say that a lot,
04:02 but it really is because Fordham is so close to my heart
04:05 and that's where I grew up.
04:07 And that's what I be having the most dreams about.
04:10 You know what I'm saying?
04:11 I be dreaming about Fordham
04:13 and just being there sometimes.
04:15 And I just have the most memories there.
04:18 Probably Kingsbridge too.
04:19 I love Kingsbridge and Parkchester.
04:23 My favorite New York slang term is munch.
04:25 ♪ You thought I was feeling you ♪
04:27 ♪ No, that nigga a munch ♪
04:29 A munch is a eater.
04:30 That's pretty much it.
