Hip-hop star Ice Spice is blessed with five younger siblings, including QB Joey Gaston, who happens to be a rising American football player and a model. Joey is currently enrolled in New York's Iona Prep High School and plays as the quarterback for the school team.
Joey has a modeling contract with Next Models, a New York-based fashion management agency. He has an active presence on Instagram and is often seen sharing posts about Ice Spice's achievements and football with his 37K followers.
The rapper's 17-year-old brother may not be the biggest fan of her music, but he often listens to it when their dad plays it during car rides. Joey is an avid fan of Lil TJay's music and was all excited for his sister's latest hit, Gangsta Boo. The Billboard Hot 100 single featuring TJay was part of Ice's debut EP, Like..?, and was released on January 20, 2023.
Appearing for a GQ interview in November 2023, he shared his first thoughts about the Gangsta Boo single:
“My favorite artist is Lil Tjay. So when she made that song ‘Gangsta Boo’ with him, I was like, ‘Hold on, I gotta listen to this!’"
Joey is a proud brother and does not mind the limelight he gets because of Ice. While at the GQ interview, he explained how he has made a name for himself just like his sister.
“At school and all of that, I made my own name. They know me as the quarterback. I don’t go around the halls with people being like, ‘What’s good Ice Spice’s little brother!’ They always call me Joey.” he said at the GQ interview

The rapper had a great 2018 season where she secured nine digs and two kills. Ice dropped out in her sophomore year after feeling out of place.
