Ice Spice has been tapped up to star in a new Wendy’s ad just weeks after her viral fight in a McDonalds restaurant.
During the incident, which took place in Los Angeles and saw the rapper got into a scuffle with a woman named Vayah, she declared that she preferred Wendy’s over McDonalds. Soon after, she shared an X post claiming a showdown "wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s."
The popular burger chain heard Ice Spice loud and clear and booked the 26-year-old to star in a new commercial promoting its new chicken sandwich.
"I heard Wendy’s upgraded their OG chicken sandwich. New spicy?" Ice Spice says in the ad before she's shown in a series of "spicy" scenes, including one where she gets a neck tattoo that reads "Ice Spicy." She’s then wakes up from her daydream to grab a Frosty.
During the McDonald’s incident, Ice Spice was swung on while sitting down having a meal with a friend. While some alleged the fight was staged, Ice's lawyer stated that the attack was reported to LAPD.
The attacker, Vayah, alleged that Ice rudely declined to let her sit with her and a friend at McDonald’s, which caused an argument and a volatile reaction from the LA resident.
"She said, 'I’m from New York,'" Vayah told TMZ. "Let me tell you something. You’re in LA. You’re in my city now, and you can’t be out here disrespecting people. If you wanted us to leave, you could have just said, politely, 'I’m not in the mood.'"
Last year, Ice Spice revealed on former talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show that Wendy’s was one of her previous jobs before she became an artist. "There would be really annoying workers and characters," the rapper told Clarkson. "[But] I would low-key appreciate them. But, like, low-key, though."
