A video that made rounds on social media last week, showing a hooded man holding Ice Spice’s “Queen” necklace has been proven to be nothing more than a TikTok hoax. According to TMZ, the alleged kidnapper of the popular rapper’s chain was merely looking for internet clout. The clip drew widespread backlash from Ice Spice’s fans who questioned whether or not it was real.

As usual, Twitter gave its jokes, thoughts, and opinions
TMZ also reports that a close source to the ‘Munch (Feelin U)’ hitmaker said the “Queen” chain did not belong to her at all, and was a hoax created by clout-chasers trying to gain Internet fame. The man was also caught mocking Ice Spice’s rhyme pattern, ‘Come to the bla-duh-duh, come get ya ched-duh-duh,’ before he was forced to delete the video.

Twitter users have expressed their disgust and confusion over the rumor, while others have pointed out how the ‘Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2’ rapper’s fans have been urging people to stop believing everything they see online.
Was Ice Spice lying?
Some users even called out the ‘hooded man’s’ attempts to make the video viral. They argued that it was all a clout-chasing moment and he should be banned from TikTok due to its nuisances and constant need for drama.
It’s unclear what Ice Spice plans to do about the rumor or what her reaction will be to the video, which has more than 6.7 million views as of Thursday. The ‘Munch (Feelin’ U)’ hitmaker has yet to comment on the matter or her jewelry, but she is expected to attend iHeart awards this weekend.
