On June twenty fifth, Ice Spice shared a brand new video on Instagram selling her new single ‘Phat Butt’. The video reveals the rapper posing for a photograph shoot and rapping the lyrics. After the video was posted, Azealia Banks took to her social media to voice her disdain for it, saying that the shoot doesn’t look aesthetically just like the 12 months 2000, which is what Ice Spice named her album Y2K after. 

The official countdown for the discharge of Ice Spice’s album began earlier in June, as she set a summer season launch date of July 26^th. This would be the rapper’s first full-length LP since she went viral with ‘Munch’. The identify of her album title, Y2K, is probably going a reference to her date of start, January 1^st 2000; nevertheless, Azealia Banks isn’t pleased with the contradiction between title and look.

Banks posted on social media, “Somebody needs to tell @icespice Absolutely nothing about this aesthetically, performance wise, production wise is Y2K at all… This is like VIM early Nicki Minaj pack weave shit.”

Banks continued to advise Ice Spice on how she might enhance her look in order that it matches the turn-of-the-millennia look a bit extra. “We need a new hair colour and a new facial expression,” she stated earlier than persevering with, “Ice I love you down but you should put the halt button, drop David LaChapelle and re do this. Big butts and BBL bodies are the antithesis of Y2K.”

To again up her claims, Banks took to social media as soon as once more to share photographs of feminine artists from the Y2K period. These included photos of Aaliyah, TLC, and Jennifer Lopez.

As said above, whereas Banks may need a degree in regards to the aesthetics not matching the album title, Ice Spice has doubtless named the album as such as a result of it coincides along with her start date. In that case, Y2K would confer with her as an individual fairly than the aesthetic that she is attempting to hold out.

It’s commonplace for Azaelia Banks to take day trip of her day to criticise numerous rappers.
