Watch Ice Spice’s model-friendly music video for MIA-sampled ‘Baddie Baddie’
Three days ago, Bronx-bred star rapper Ice Spice put out the official music video for her latest single, ‘Baddie Baddie’, which samples MIA’s larger-than-life record, ‘Bad Girls’, a song released thirteen years ago with over 200 million views on YouTube (Noisey’s upload of 145 million and 72 million from MIA’s official VEVO channel). On the track, the ‘Munch’ rapper takes aim at a man who was “begging to hit” and doesn’t really want her for who she is, but he sees her lifestyle as something to take advantage of if she lets him. In the next line, she mentions a fellow female rapper who might be inspired by her come-up and wants to be like her, but isn’t doing it well. Ice Spice doesn’t mention anyone by name, but the internet seems to think Stunna Sandy, who also wears tight curls, is the one.
Watch the NYFW-centric music video, which documents some of the moments during the festivities and shows her relationship with South Sudanese-American supermodel/visual artist Anok Yai. Sunisa Lee and Bb Trickz also make cameos.

One comment under the music video says from a fan account says, “@parmik99 from 1 to 5 milliom in 37 minutes and 0 new comments.Dear Spice, don’ embaress yourself with bots”.
Another fan @rick_bars, wrote, “Ice Spice is not Botting Door Dash is running ads on the video but, the ads team is not great lol. So it looks like this.”, a seemingly supportive comment.
