Ice Spice says she plans to take legal action after a physical altercation that took place at a Hollywood McDonald’s, and that is currently under investigation by the police.
The confrontation took place on Wednesday, April 15, when, according to security camera footage shared by TMZ, the Bronx rapper was seated with a companion in the establishment when another woman approached them and asked to sit. After her request was denied, an altercation ensued.
Security video footage shows the woman attacking Ice Spice, leading to the confrontation moving to the parking lot, where the rapper allegedly broke a phone owned by a friend of the woman. The altercation reportedly continued until the rapper received additional hits.
The police have been informed of the incident, and Ice Spice’s team confirmed that they’ve filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
“The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD, and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,” the rapper’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, told TMZ. “We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”
Cohen noted that he plans on taking legal action against the rapper’s attacker, adding that a potential lawsuit could be brought against the establishment for failing to provide adequate security services.
Ice Spice addressed the situation on X (formerly known as Twitter), tweeting, “this wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s.”
The allegations raised by the rapper’s representative may lead to legal claims against the establishment, as they would suggest that adequate security precautions were not in place.
According to the unnamed assailant, who called herself Vayah, she attempted to approach Ice Spice to introduce herself and offer compliments. Still, the rapper reportedly reacted negatively to the gesture, prompting her to question the rapper’s attitude.
“Immediately, Ice Spice was being rude. She was like, ‘Why are you over here? You can leave, bye,” Vayah told TMZ, saying that she had asked her where she came from and why she spoke that way.
She added that tensions escalated after the rapper allegedly insulted her, leading to her slapping her face. Later, the woman said she was confronted again in the parking lot, where she claimed Ice Spice broke her friend’s screen.
