Ice Spice has accused various unnamed rappers of copying her flows as she shares previews of tracks from her forthcoming debut album Y2K!.
In the lead-up to the project dropping on July 26, the Bronx rapper has been teasing fans with previews of song from the project, including one where she explicitly takes aim at contemporaries that she thinks are biting her style.
On the untitled track posted to Instagram this week, she rapped: “Name got the bitch gaggin’/ Hit the bench up and tagged in/ Bitch, you lost, throw the flag in/ Stay on a jet, but ain’t laggin’.”
She later added: “Got these bitches copying my pose/ Got these bitches biting all my flows/ Like ballerinas, keep ’em on their toes/ And I really write, like fuck a ghost.”

Ice Spice had been feuding with Latto of late, so there’s a possibility the lyrics could be about her.
She previously took a dig at Latto on her hit single “Think U the Shit (Fart),” where she rapped: “I got my foot on they necks, I can’t let up/ She all on the floor, told her get up.”
During a Twitter Spaces appearance in February, the “Munch” star confirmed the song’s target and cited the reason.
She recalled noticing her music video playing in the background of a song snippet posted by Latto and taking offense to that.
“Seeing that I’m in the back of your weak-ass snippet,” she said. “So I was like, ‘Wait a second — that’s me?’ So I’m like, ‘Okay, since we’re talking about me, let’s talk about me,’ and I dropped that.
“I was like, ‘This has to be fake — this is AI,’ but bitches be bold, so I was like, ‘Alright, we’re being bold today.’”
Ice Spice recently revealed that the biggest inspiration for the album was her mother.
Speaking to Zane Lowe, she said: “Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form. It’s duck nails, it’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner no matter where you go
“So thankfully I had her as my inspo growing up. And of course just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.”
