ISIS Naija Gaston, known professionally as Ice Spice, has clarified her current relationship status after drama surfaced on TikTok.
The Princess Diana rapper cleared up the rumors that she had sparked up a romance with British rapper Central Cee, real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su.
Ice, 24, confirmed her relationship with Central, 26, is strictly platonic.
“We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out, honestly. We’re just twins,” Ice said in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
Ice also admitted to finding it “really hard to open up to people” due to having “trust issues.”
RUMORS FUELED
The rapper found herself in the middle of a cheating scandal following the release of her new collaboration with Central.
The two dropped their new track, Did It First, earlier this month.
The song is centered around an unfaithful relationship, where Ice says she’s “doing him worse” if “he’s cheating.”
Prior to the release, which is featured on Ice’s new Y2K! album, the two were seen spending time together alone, fueling possible dating rumors.
In early July, the musicians were spotted driving around in his Lamborghini through London, England.
Videos that swirled on social media around the same time also showed the two inside the jewelry store Chrome Hearts.
Central also left a “flirty” comment on Ice’s Instagram video as she danced around in a tiny minidress.
Ice was seen twerking in front of the camera while lip-syncing to her and Central’s song, even writing a lyric in her caption.
“If he cheatin im doin him worse,” she said.
“Trouble,” Central commented.
MADELINE’S CLAIMS
Last week, Central’s ex-girlfriend, Madeline Argy, claimed she was still dating Central at the same time he was out and about with Ice.

Madeline, 23, and the British rapper split sometime last year after the two began dating in 2022.
However, they sparked reconciliation rumors in December 2023 after being spotted at a sporting event together.
Last week, Madeline posted a TikTok rant claiming she and Central were still together when he was spotted with Ice.
In the videos, Madeline said she felt like she was in the middle of Central’s “marketing scheme” with Ice to promote their new song.
She was planning on breaking up with the rapper in early July when he called to warn her about the new photos of him with Ice.
“I didn’t even actually get to break up with him, and he’s already with the next girl,” she claimed in one video.
She further claimed that Central’s team had called her to say that he “had no control” over the situation.
Just hours after Madeline uploaded her TikToks, Ice shared a photo of her posing with Central Cee, seemingly clapping back at the claims.
“Ain’t trippin da grip in my purse,” she captioned the shot.
