Ice Spice has been under fire for having a 16-year-old twerk in her latest music video.
Spice released the video for the song “Deli” from her debut album on July 26. The artist is seen wearing a tank top, holding a load of cash, and twerking in a bodega.
As the video continues, a 16-year-old is shown twerking on top of the counter. The teen is well known on TikTok, garnering over 6.6 million followers on the app.
In the video that Spice promoted on Twitter, a reader’s context pops up below that states, “Viewers should be warned this video features a minor dancing in a sexually provocative manner, which may violate state and federal laws. One of the dancers in this video is 16 years old, a fact likely known to Ice Spice, as the two follow one another on Instagram.”

Ice Spice is genuinely so wrong for having that lil girl twerk in her video. And I know she be in twitter too so if she doesn’t respond to the concerns on that, that’s very weird to me
