Kanye West adds Ice Spice to his beef list as he criticizes her team for not clearing verses – days after ripping streamer Kai Cenat
Kanye West added to his long list of people he’s involved with when he called out Ice Spice just days after ripping Twitch streamer Kai Cenat.
The 46-year-old fashion mogul said on his Instagram Story that the 24-year-old rising rapper had recorded a verse for the new version of his song New Body, but her team decided not to release it.
He took to his Instagram Story to share a text message that read: ‘ICE SPICE SENT IN A VERSE FOR A NEW BODY, NOW HER TEAM SAYS WE CAN’T USE IT’
Ice native Isis Naija Gaston – nor her team have responded to Ye’s allegations.
The song New Body has been in the works for quite some time, as it was originally planned for inclusion on Kanye’s album Yandhi in 2018, which was never released.

The 46-year-old fashion mogul said on his Instagram Story that the 24-year-old rising rapper had recorded a verse for the new version of his song New Body, but her team decided not to release it.
Nicki Minaj was featured on the original version of the song and it was even included on the tracklist for Ye’s collaborative album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign, which was released last month.
However, the 41-year-old rapper from Trinidad refused to allow the verse to be included on the release.
This wasn’t the first time this happened, as it was previewed at listening parties for Ye’s 2019 album Jesus Is King, but it was ultimately scrapped due to creative differences between the two rap stars.
The song debunked body shaming and the stigma surrounding plastic surgery, but the Jesus Is King version had Christian-themed lyrics.
In June 2020, Nicki had expressed interest in releasing the song after a version was leaked on TikTok, but it never came to fruition.
Just a few days ago, Ye made an astonishing response to American online streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat, accusing the streamer of ‘dissing’ his YZY clothing range, while issuing a warning saying ‘don’t play with me’.
Kanye’s comments came after Kai, 22, was sent clothes from West’s new YZY line, which he tried on for fans during a livestreaming service Twitch stream.
However, after trying on a pair of sweatpants, they were significantly larger than he expected, prompting him to request a smaller size.

Kai branded the sizing of Kanye’s YZY clothing range as ‘crazy’, while demanding a smaller size of the same product because the track pants fell to his ankles.
Kanye fired back while the stream was still going, replying via direct message on Instagram, “Don’t make fun of my clothes. If you don’t say anything about what Adidas is doing.
“When the Vultures song came out, you don’t play my verse. You checked. Don’t play with me,” he added.
This ignited the feud between the pair almost immediately, as Kai responded, “‘Oh my god, what the fuck!’
After reading through it, he was visibly confused by the rapper’s angry response and asked Kanye, “What the fuck did I do?!”
More messages back and forth between them ensued, with Kai saying, “I hear you bro, but there were no jokes when I first opened that package. I immediately showed love.”
The streamer continued, “All I did was try on the sweats, but they didn’t fit. No jokes were made. I immediately asked for a new pair.’
Kanye then responded, “So you’re not doing anything wrong? So I felt like this for no reason?’

Kai then simply responded with a one-word response, writing “Yes,” which Kanye didn’t take too kindly to.
Instead, the rapper accused him of deliberately disrespecting his new clothing line: ‘F**k you… You were told to diss my sh**. You’re a pawn.’
The feud between the pair comes after Kai was released from police custody just hours after he was arrested for inciting a riot in New York City’s Union Square on Friday, August 4, 2023.
Cenat was seen leaving the police station with security in tow, but made no comment to reporters standing by.
After the riots, the NYPD arrested 65 people during the chaos that unfolded in Manhattan.
