Saturday Night Live is back. The sketch comedy show had its season 49 premiere on Oct. 14 with SNL alum Pete Davidson as the host and Ice Spice as the musical guest. While Davidson is not a stranger to studio 8H, Ice Spice made her SNL debut on Saturday.
This year, Ice Spice has taken over. The Bronx native released her debut EP Like..? in January and followed up with the deluxe in July. On the latter project, it contained previously released songs “In Ha Mood,” “Gangsta Boo” featuring Lil Tjay, “Actin Like A Smoochie,” “Bikini Bottom,” “Princess Diana,” and her breakout hit “Munch.” The deluxe added songs such as “How High?” “Butterfly Ku,” “Deli,” “Princess Diana” remix featuring Nicki Minaj, and bonus track “On The Radar.”
Her songs have not only just reached her fanbase which she adorably calls the Munchkins. Her song “Barbie World” with Nicki Minaj was featured on the soundtrack to Barbie starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, and more. She also got to link up with Taylor Swift on the remix of “Karma.”
She also had two of her songs land on the Billboard Hot 100. The Bronx rapper landed two Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits this year with “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” with PinkPantheress and the “Princess Diana” remix featuring Nicki Minaj.
What’s New For Ice Spice?
For the BET Hip-Hop Awards aired earlier this week, the rapper won Best New Hip-Hop Artist. She was previously nominated for Best New Artist at the BET Awards earlier this year, but it went to R&B singer Coco Jones. Later that night, she performed “Munch,” “Princess Diana,” and “In Ha Mood,” making it the first time she performed at an awards show.
As for her latest, the rapper released “Pretty Girl” with Nigerian artist Rema on Friday (Oct. 13).
