She explained that it was her dad — an underground rapper — who inspired her love for hip-hop. “He definitely inspired me to want to record. I remember being in the studio with him. I was a toddler, probably,” Ice Spice recalled in an interview with Paper magazine.
“Subconsciously, I ended up becoming an artist because I saw my father be one first,” she added. “He’s a music lover himself. He’s a true hip-hop head, beyond me, honestly. He knows everything. He’s always educating me on hip-hop and s–t like that.”
Little is known about Ice Spice’s immediate family, though she previously shared details about her ethnic background on Twitter. Per her tweets, Ice Spice is Dominican and Nigerian.
