The internet is buzzing with excitement as rumors of a collaboration between Ice Spice and Latto have been confirmed! Apple Music has released a preview of their new track, reportedly titled ‘Gyatt,’ putting an end to speculation and squashing past feud rumors between the two popular female rappers.
From Feud Rumors to Collaboration
The conversation about a potential Ice Spice and Latto collaboration first gained traction when streamer Deshae Frost mentioned during a live stream that his mom-manager had informed him about a possible cameo in a music video featuring both artists. Although it was unclear if Frost actually participated, his comments immediately sparked widespread speculation online.
Things intensified on August 3rd when Complex and XXL Mag shared what is believed to be the official cover art for ‘Gyatt.’ The image depicts Ice Spice and Latto posing side-by-side in a boxing ring, with the song title prominently displayed. Shortly after, leaked snippets of the track began circulating on X (formerly Twitter), featuring Latto’s signature flow followed by Ice Spice’s verse, further fueling anticipation.
Apple Music Confirms the Track
Apple Music officially confirmed the authenticity of the leaked audio, releasing a 30-second preview of the track on Wednesday night. The song is now expected to drop on August 5th, marking a significant moment for both artists and their fans.
Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing excitement about the rappers moving past their rumored differences. Comments on X included sentiments like, “I’m glad they were able to squash all that and make some money and music,” and “Glad to see they’ve moved past their differences.” Some users noted the timing, with one commenting, “the timeline has no idea what’s coming. friday’s about to shake things up!”
Addressing Past Feud Rumors
The collaboration also addresses past rumors of a feud between Ice Spice and Latto. Speculation began last year when fans noticed similarities in Latto’s style after Ice Spice’s rise to fame. A line from Ice Spice’s song ‘ThinkUTheShhh’ – “Think you the sh**? You not even the fart” – was interpreted by fans as a diss towards Latto. Latto seemingly responded by posting a cake shaped like poop on X with the caption, “Think I’m the sh**, b*tch????”
In a Rolling Stone interview, Ice Spice downplayed the situation, calling it “friendly competition.” She stated, “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her, ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me.” However, she also pointed out Latto’s reaction to her celebratory news, saying, “You’re going to post a piece of sh** cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re making it about me … again.”
