On September 2, 2024, Ice Spice's former friend Cleotrapa, or Cleo West, uploaded a series of TikToks, spanning more than 45 minutes, wherein she called out the Deli rapper. West accused Ice Spice of using the former to rebuild her image by inviting her on tour, given that another one of Ice's friends had exposed her for speaking ill about Cleotrapa and Nicki Minaj.
Responding to Cleotrapa's allegations, Ice Spice took to X on September 3, 2024, and stated:
“Crashing out is sad you guys. The scary part of fame honestly is the moment that somebody feels like they can no longer use your platform or like they’re not getting exactly what they want out of a situation the way that they want it … That’s when they decide to crash out every single time. I’m noticing a pattern.”
Cleotrapa accused the rapper of mistreating her on tour and mentioned that Ice Spice's production would stick her in bathrooms, stating they didn't have a dressing room for her. Cleo recalled various instances, like having to pay for her own hotel till Ice's hairdresser let her stay with her, and how the rapper's production refused to pay for Cleotrapa's chicken salad.
"You got less than 10,000 listeners"— Ice Spice mentions in response to Cleotrapa's allegations
In her series of accusations against Ice Spice, Cleotrapa mentioned that the conditions she had to put up with during Ice Spice's tour were a result of insufficient budget, as claimed by the rapper's production. Moreover, Cleo claimed that she discovered that her bag, which she left in Ice's dressing room, was placed outside, and that $700 was spent on her credit card.
Taking to Spaces (on X) to defend herself against Cleo's claims, the 24-year-old mentioned she was saddened by the situation, and that she invited her former friend on the tour as she was genuinely trying to help Cleo. The Princess Diana rapper also stated that she reached out to Cleo at the last minute as she was given an extra tour bus and had the space for Cleo to join.
Talking about the same, the rapper addressed Cleotrapa, saying:
“You got less than 10,000 listeners and I’m sharing my stage with you. And you feeling so entitled.”
As for Cleotrapa's claim about the rapper's production refusing to pay for her chicken salad, Ice Spice said it was because Cleo wasn't a part of their tour budget. Addressing the same, the Did It First rapper mentioned:
“We was having fun. So for you to try to sit here and complain about a chicken salad? You never came to me talking about a chicken salad, what are you really talking about right now.”
During her appearance on X Spaces, the rapper stated that she didn't even know when Cleotrapa got off the tour bus. Ice hinted at her former friend Cleo accusing her of multiple things, comparing it to an essay with an introduction, body, and conclusion, expecting her to analyze and figure it out.
Moreover, the rapper also stated that all she did was share the stage with Cleotrapa and that she didn't even have to do the same in return.
Ice Spice is currently on her Y2K! World Tour, which began on July 4, 2024, and will conclude on November 20, 2024, comprising 37 shows.
