Ice Spice is enjoying quite a lot of success of late and her profile has never been higher in her still-growing career. Over the weekend at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, Ice Spice paused her set to bring out the talented Flo Milli but instead of celebrating unity among women in Hip-Hop, some fans on Twitter are rather miserable about it.
Ice Spice, 23, was one of the featured acts at this year’s Summer Jam concert in New York, and the hometown darling didn’t disappoint her legion of fans by appearing in a flowing hairstyle instead of her signature afro.
Flo Milli, also 23, launched into her 2022 hit track “Conceited” while her Bronx counterpart played a game hype woman for the spirited guest feature. Earlier this year, Milli shut down fans who tried to compare her career to Spice’s trajectory, with some believing she should be getting the spotlight.
Despite the fact that Milli told fans she was doing “great” and not chasing Spice’s fame in a tweet from that period, this recent feel-good moment was marred by Twitter fans dissecting Milli’s appearance instead of praising the fact that two young talents in the game are unified but on their own paths.
As it stands, things are good with Ice Spice and Flo Milli and instead of breaking down who should be where, why not big up both of these Black women for doing things their own way? Too much like right, we guess.
Check out the reactions from Twitter below and a video posted by a Twitter user that captured the special moment.

The only time a lot of yall bring up Flo Milli is in comparison to Ice Spice. So yall know she’s talented, think she’s better than Ice Spice but aren’t streaming the music? pic.twitter.com/Ns9Ej1VblI

As a darkskin women I think I’d have the most valid opinion on this, two things can be true at once …don’t think anyone has ever called ice spice the FACE of colorism but she definitely benefits from it 100% and bringing out flo milli doesn’t just cancel out colorism https://t.co/B737OxIZye

Like if you want Flo Milli to be bigger than ICe Spice post her music and interviews. Don’t lecture us while contributing to the bullshit by only bringing Flo Milli up in a comparison to another artist vs just bigging her up and showing support.
