After the rapper appeared to be heavily pregnant in the video for “Out My Face,” fans took the imagery literally
Once again, the internet is having a hard time separating fact from fiction. This time, it’s over rumors about Ice Spice.
Fans began to speculate that Ice Spice was expecting after she appeared to be heavily pregnant in the video for “Out My Face,” her new collaboration with Lil Yachty. The rumor took off running when an Ice Spice fan account posted an out-of-context still from the video with the caption, “Ice Spice reveals pregnancy in ‘Out My Face’ Music Video.” The post was actually just a ploy to get more people to listen to the song.
The scene in which Ice Spice’s stomach physically extends into a full-blown baby bump accounts for five seconds of the video’s three-and-a-half-minute run time. It pairs with the lyric, “Matter fact, give me time/Matter fact, give me māthā/Matter fact, make me a mom.”
While many viewers took the video and lyrics for what they were — a playful, tongue-in-cheek moment not to be taken seriously — others appeared to see it as the rapper’s unique way of announcing her pregnancy.
Rolling Stone can confirm that Ice Spice is not pregnant.
In a way to perhaps poke fun at the unfounded rumors, Lil Yachty posted a photo of what appeared to be a behind-the-scene shot of Ice Spice wearing her fake baby bump.
The Bronx rapper previously shut down pregnancy rumors in 2024 after she posted a photo of herself on X that led some fans to claim she’s pregnant. “Nobody pregnant,” she posted in response, “just phat.”
Ridiculous pregancy rumors aside, “Out My Face (My Baby)” marks Ice Spice’s return to the music scene. Last year, she collaborated with Tokischa on single “Thootie” and debuted “Big Guy,” written and recorded for The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants. She also released “Baddie Baddie,” joined Katseye for a remix of “Gnarly,” and was tapped by Latto for “Gyatt.”
