Ice Spice taps out from Hot Ones episode after reminiscing about ‘bouncing around’ with Nicki Minaj: ‘Never been that excited’

Ice Spice‘s hot moment with Nicki Minaj was not nearly as intense as her experience on Hot Ones.

The Grammy Award nominee, 24, had to tap out during her recent episode of the First We Feast series, in which she discussed her upcoming debut studio album Y2K and collaborating with Nicki Minaj on their song ‘Princess Diana’.

‘I feel like I’m handling it better than you,’ she teased host Sean Evans before admitting: ‘I spoke too soon.’

She began spiraling after trying Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity (135,600 Scoville level), which Evans called ‘one of the hottest hot sauces on the planet.’

‘That’s so f***ed up, I’m not gonna lie to you,’ she said. ‘I’m panicking, y’all. Am I red? It’s like a mental thing?’

‘It looks like I’m crying but I’m not,’ noted Ice Spice (real name Isis Naija Gaston).

‘This one got me shaking,’ she said shortly before moving onto the next sauce.

After sniffing MataSanos (680,000 Scoville), she tapped out. ‘I’m not gonna do that to myself,’ said Gaston.

Earlier in the episode, she dished with Evans about filming the video for her 2023 single ‘Princess Diana’ with Minaj.

‘”Princess Diana” remix with Nicki was my favorite video to shoot ’cause I was just so excited. Oh my god,’ she recalled. ‘I’ve never been that excited on set.’

Gaston continued, ‘And the bedroom scene, that was so fun. Being on the bed, bouncing around with Nicki, who does that? So that was fun.

The Bronx-born artist dropped the video in April 2023 after releasing the single on her EP Like..? that January.

She and Minaj also collaborated on ‘Barbie World‘ from last year’s star-studded Barbie soundtrack.

Gaston revealed earlier this month that she’s finished recording her debut album Y2K, which she said on Hot Ones is ‘dropping soon.’

Ice Spice also told Evans the album has passed the ‘car test’: ‘I’ve been playing the album fully through in the car, volume all the way up’

‘Every time I work on a song, I’m like, “This is going to be released,”‘ she said earlier in the episode. ‘That hasn’t always been the case, but for this album process, that was the case.’

She also told Evans the album has passed the ‘car test.’

‘I’ve been playing the album fully through in the car, volume all the way up,’ explained Gaston. ‘And it passed. Thankfully, it passed.’

Gaston, who earned her first four Grammy nominations this year, also opened up about why her success has been so meaningful.

‘Coming from where I come from, I’m from the Bronx, Fordham Road specifically,’ she explained. ‘I feel like New York City as a whole is super hustle, hustle, hustle.

‘And just wanting to make it out and provide for my family and live a more comfortable lifestyle, that was really the motive there,’ added Gaston.
