Even if you aren’t familiar with her songs, you most certainly are because of her famous ginger curls: Currently one of the biggest (and youngest!) rappers in the game is Ice Spice, also known as “the People’s Princess.”
You can assume that Ice has a respectable net worth because she has come a long way in a short period of time. (Warning of spoiler: it is.) Let’s examine Ice Spice’s bank account balance in detail.
Ice Spice makes most of her coin from her music
Ice Spice, whose true name is Isis Gaston, began her rap career in 2021 when she went to SUNY Purchase for college and met RiotUSA, a student and music producer. He produced her first song, “Bully Freestyle,” which was made available in March 2021. After that, they collaborated on several songs.
When her single “Munch (Feelin’ U)” was played by fellow rapper Drake on his radio station Sound 42 in August 2022, things for Ice Spice really started to gain up. The track became extremely popular on social media, particularly TikTok, and peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs List. Elliot Grainge, the spouse of Sofia Richie, signed her to his small record label 10K Projects after noticing her at this point. Capitol Records signed her as well. On October 28, she dropped her debut single, “Bikini Bottom,” under these labels, and it became popular right away. Her debut EP Like..? was released in January 2023.
The song “Gangsta Boo,” which Ice Spice and Lil Tjay co-wrote in February 2023, became her first to reach No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100. Hit single “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” by PinkPantheress, featuring Ice Spice, was released on February 3. It quickly became her highest-charting song at the time, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then, in April 2023, she released the queen Nicki Minaj on a remix of her song “Princess Diana,” which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
She worked with the other queen, Taylor Swift, on a remix of “Karma,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, on May 24, 2023.
To create the song “Barbie World” for the i-con-ique Barbie movie, Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj got back together. The song premiered at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 2023.
She released the deluxe edition of her EP, Like..? in July 2023. The fact that Ice has all of her masters and publication rights, however, is extremely beneficial—something that musicians like Taylor Swift are still fighting for. Zach Friedman, president of Capitol Records-affiliated 10K Projects, stated to Billboard that “nobody on the label side touches the music.” With [Ice], there is no conventional A&R. Nobody is dictating what to do or picking out beats. She is everything. We follow her timetable.”
Ice’s live performances also bring in some cash
Ice Spice has played and made appearances at numerous music festivals and events, such as Rolling Loud and Dion Lee’s after-party for New York Fashion Week. Along with opening for Doja Cat on her Scarlet Tour, she also likely earned some adorable checks.
She’s raked in $$$ from brand deals
Yes, it is correct. Thanks to trademark agreements with none other than Heaven by Marc Jacobs, Ice Spice generated significant financial gains:
And her illustrious partnership with Dunkin’ that gave rise to the Ice Spice Munchkins beverage for Fall ’23:
