"That's the only talent she has" — Netizens react to Ice Spice twerking when Kai Cenat asked her to freestyle

In a recent live stream, YouTuber Kai Cenat invited rapper Ice Spice for an engaging session that took an unexpected turn, igniting a storm of reactions across the internet.

On July 26, 2024, during a live stream on Twitch, which was also uploaded on the YouTube channel Kai Cenat Live, the YouTuber, in jest, asked the rapper to do a freestyle, a style of hip hop music when an artist raps unwritten verses, mostly without instrumental beats. Instead, Ice Spice began twerking, which sparked a wide range of responses from viewers.

The incident quickly became a trending topic on X, with the opinions varied. Some fans defended the rapper's choice as an expression of her artistic freedom, while others criticized her for what they perceived as a lack of versatility. One X user reacting to the incident, wrote:

"That's the only talent she has"

Others shared similar sentiments on social media:

"Without twerking, she has nothing to give out," another wrote.

"i can't be the only one getting tired of this same default move everytime," one more on X.

Moreover, many sarcastically commended Ice Spice for her wise decision, suggesting that had she opted to freestyle, she would have faced even harsher reactions online:

"good strategy from ice spice 😭 she started dancing she knows she was finna get cooked from that freestyle," one said.

"Shii I would rather her do this than to actually free style," a netizen on X.

"Why Kai put her in that position he knows girl can't rap for sh*t," another wrote.

"Kai Cenat proved to her Zodiac signs are fake in the funniest way possible 😭😭😭," one more on X.

In addition, many online reactions expressed their affection for Ice Spice, noting that the idea of her twerking seemed like a party they did not want to miss:

"I love this girl ♥️," one wrote.

"sounds like a party I need to be at," another on X.

"that freestyle was bangeer!!" second on X.
