Although Ice Spice is still new to the music industry, she has won countless awards, racked up plaques, and built an elaborate fan base. Most recently, fans applauded her ability to secure a partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts.
When discussing her journey, the platinum recording artist told Billboard, “I have put in so much hard work, and it means a lot to be recognized for it and have more than just plaques to show for it.
