Ice Spice’s lawyer has revealed that the attack on her at a Hollywood McDonald’s has been reported to the Los Angeles Police Department.
On Apr. 15, the rapper was eating at McDonald’s with a friend when she was approached by a woman who slapped her after a brief conversation. Footage of the altercation revealed that the two also got into a confrontation outside of the restaurant afterwards.
Speaking to TMZ about the situation, Ice Spice’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, said, "The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD, and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly. We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security."
Complex reached out to Cohen for more information, but he did not immediately respond.
Soon after the footage of the altercation hit the internet, the attacker, identified online as a woman named Vayah, spoke to TMZ about what allegedly happened that made her attack Ice Spice.
Vayah claimed that she approached Ice Spice as she was eating to compliment her, but the rapper was argumentative in return. “She was like, ‘Why are you over here? You can leave, bye,’” said Vayah. “I was like, ‘Why are you being rude?’”
After Ice Spice allegedly called the woman a “bitch,” Vayah slapped her — causing her to get forcibly removed from McDonald’s. The altercation wasn’t over though, according to Vayah — Ice Spice allegedly wanted to fight outside of the restaurant, which turned into another altercation where Vayah’s friend’s phone was broken.
Vayah revealed that she’s no longer a fan of Ice Spice because of how the rapper treated her. “As a fan, I’m not expecting you to be rude,” she said. “She had a different attitude towards me. She lost a fan. I can’t listen to her anymore.”
