Ice Spice drags them hating bitches on “Phat Butt.” On Friday, the New York rapper released her Y2K single “Phat Butt” on which she celebrates her fame and drags those who hate her for it.
Spice unleashes the fiery, two-minute song with a reference to Nicki Minaj classic “Beez in the Trap” in the intro before channeling the same “bitches can’t tell me nothing” energy of the Queen of rap. “I’m the one who they pumpin’/Rap bitch on a pop chart/Toastin’ bitches like Pop-Tarts/You’s a flop bitch knock it off,” raps Spice.

On the song’s bridge, Spice takes aim at other rap girls (allegedly Latto) who’ve copied her photo-taking style, as she raps: “Got these bitchеs copyin’ my pose/Got these bitchеs bitin’ all my flows/Like ballerinas, keep ’em on they toes/And I really write, like fuck a ghost.”
Spice shared the song on X and encouraged fans to share photos of their own behinds, tweeting, “lets start a phat butt thread.”
“Phat Butt” is set to open her upcoming album Y2K!, out July 26. It follows her Sean Paul-sampling track “Gimmie a Light,” Think U the Shit (Fart),” and “Pretty Girl” with Rema. Her last project came in 2023 with Like..?, which featured tracks such as “Princess Diana” with Minaj, “Deli,” and “In Ha Mood.”
Spice is set to celebrate her new album by hitting the road with stops in DC, Detroit, New York, Dallas, Atlanta and Miami Beach through late August.
