What Ice Spice said about Cleotrapa’s claims
In return, Ice Spice said she was blindsided by Cleotrapa’s concerns shared after the tour.
“What are you really talking about right now?” Ice Spice asked, as per Complex. “You’re gon’ send me a whole essay after tour, like you just gon’ just get off the bus. I don’t even know you got off the bus and you gon’ send me an essay with an intro, body, and conclusion and you want me to try to analyze this shit and figure out how I’m wrong when all I did was share my stage with you? When I ain’t even have to do that. You got less than 10,000 listeners and I’m sharing my stage with you and you feeling so entitled. Like, you thinking my peoples that work for me is supposed to work for you too. Like, that’s so crazy to me.”
Azealia Banks Blasts Ice Spice And Manager In Cleotrapa’s Defense: “She’s Aging Like F**king Milk”
Azealia Banks has stepped into the fray involving fellow rap stars Ice Spice and Cleotrapa, coming to the latter’s defense while slamming Ice Spice and her manager for their seeming slander of the rising artist.
On Wednesday (Sept. 4), Banks took to X to express her solidarity with Cleo and voice her distaste over how she’s been portrayed on social media. “I don’t like how everyone is trying to make cleotrapa look,” Banks began, revealing that Cleotrapa will be taking the stage alongside her at an upcoming show in New York City.
“@iamcleotrapa will be performing with me on Halloween Oct 31. at @Terminal5NYC,” she continued, ensuring that the upstart will be fairly compensated and treated in a respectful manner. “She will – be paid, have her own space to glam, whatever she wants on her rider.. because i have f**king respect & class,” Banks wrote, adding, “Period. End Of Discussion.“
The “212” rapper then responded to a social media user referencing Cleo’s claim that Ice Spice’s handlers refused to pay for a chicken salad she ordered while on tour with the “Munch” rapper, vowing that she would not face similar issues during their own show. “She can have 50 different styles of chicken salads,” Banks wrote back to the fan. “It’s whatever she desires.”
In a subsequent post, the Harlem native blasted both Ice Spice and her manager for their reaction to Cleo’s allegations of mistreatment and broken promises during her stint on Ice Spice’s Y2K Tour earlier this year.
“Ice spices manager is a bird ass ni**a 4 trying to add insult to injury when a young girl is expressing how she feels,” Banks wrote. “He’s trying to make cleo look like an amateur when the fact that he’s even chiming in at all is ghetto, low class and a huge sign of having zero skin in the game.”
She then advised Ice Spice’s handler to focus on his own client, criticizing the hitmaker’s physical appearance. “How about he get his artist some filler for those smile lines,” she snapped, referencing Ice Spice. “She’s aging like f**king milk.”
