Hollywood is still talking about the chaotic footage of a late-night fight at a local McDonald’s involving Ice Spice, and the woman in the middle of it is finally speaking out.
While lawyers for the “Deli” rapper are calling the whole thing an “unprovoked attack,” the woman, who goes by Vayah, is offering a completely different story about what triggered the confrontation that eventually spilled into the street.
According to Vayah, the night was supposed to be a lowkey stop for food after hanging out at the beach. When she saw Ice Spice at a booth, she says she walked over just to give her a compliment, but claims the rapper wasn’t having it.
Vayah alleges that Ice Spice was dismissive from the start, telling her to leave and acting like she didn’t belong at the table. When Vayah tried to show support, things only got more tense. “I’m like, ‘You in LA, you in my city now. You can’t be out here disrespecting people,'” Vayah said, adding that she would have walked away if the rapper had just been more polite about needing space.
The verbal back-and-forth allegedly turned physical inside the McDonald’s after Vayah claims a slur was thrown her way. “After she called me a bitch, I hit her,” Vayah admitted.
The slap led to her being kicked out of the restaurant, but the drama didn’t stop at the door. Vayah says that while she was at her car, she could hear Ice Spice out in the street looking to keep the fight going. She claims a second round of fighting broke out, during which she alleges the rapper grabbed a friend’s phone and smashed it on the ground.
Even after the wild brawl, Vayah says she isn’t holding a grudge, but her opinion of the Bronx rapper has definitely changed. She called the experience a lesson in “never meeting your heroes” and said she was disappointed in how a fan was treated.
On the legal side, Ice Spice’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, has already reported the incident to the LAPD as an assault. Vayah, however, sticks to her story that the fight was just a reaction to being disrespected. For this former fan, the situation was enough to make her stop playing the music entirely.
