Ice Spice Addresses Performing Only 5 Minutes of Planned 30-Minute New Year’s Eve Show


Ice Spice has finally addressed her New Year’s Eve performance that was cut short at Australia’s Wildlands Festival.

On Saturday, Jan. 4, the “Deli” rapper, 25, offered a brief apology to fans at a Perth, Australia concert for her late arrival and brief set on Dec. 31, Youth Jam reported.

“I’m sorry guys, surely y’all can forgive me,” Ice told the crowd. “It was my birthday and it takes a long time to look like a Barbie.”

She then launched into her Nicki Minaj collaboration, “Barbie World.”

Per The Guardian, Ice was one of the headliners for the festival on New Year’s Eve, where she was slated to perform a 30-minute set.

However, by the time she took the stage, she was already 25 minutes into her slot.

Although festival organizers gave her an extra minute to perform, she only ended up playing two tracks during her six-minute set.

At the time, the organizers of Australia’s Wildlands Festival shared a statement regarding Ice’s performance in the comments section of their Instagram account, per Billboard: “We understand that Ice Spice’s delayed arrival caused some frustration. Managing a stacked festival means that we have to be extremely firm with scheduled set times. We had a strict curfew of 12:30 and needed to ensure that Chase & Status went on stage on time so you could all enjoy the NYE Countdown!”

Just one day after her performance on Saturday, Jan. 4 in Perth, Ice wrapped her current tour with a performance in Adelaide, ending the global run in support of her her debut album, Y2K, which landed at No. 18 on the Billboard 200.

On Christmas Day, she dropped the deluxe version of the album, which featured five new tracks, including collaborations with DaBaby and NLE Choppa.

In an interview with Billboard in July, Ice said she was “so ready” to start working on another project.

“I am definitely so ready to start another album,” she told the publication. “So that’s great. I know my label is gonna be really excited to hear that.”
