“I have seen those opinions,” Ice Spice said when asked about the colorism conversation. “I feel like that’s not something personal to me. I feel like that’s been the conversation for generations and forever, since the beginning of time.”

She continued: “I try not to feed into negativity because I also see that when people are trying to make that point, it’s not out of a good place. [They end up putting] somebody else down.”

The 23-year-old went on to tell Teen Vogue that she “blocks” out most misconceptions about herself that she comes across online.
