Ice Spice took a moment to clear up any confusion about her in-house producer RIOTUSA’s sexuality following a male fan’s inquiry.
A fan who goes by the Twitter/X name of Island Boy shared a screenshot of an unanswered DM he’d sent to RIOT with Ice on Tuesday (February 13). “PMO” [pissing me off] he wrote with it – seemingly complaining to the “Munch” rapper about being ignored.
Ice quickly explained why there was no answer.
“he dont like boys,” she replied, to which ‘Island Boy’ jokingly answered, “I was hacked,” with the Marge Simpson hiding meme.

RIOTUSA (whose father is famed DJ and radio personality DJ Enuff) met Ice Spice when they were college students at SUNY and is responsible for her breakout hit “Munch,” among many others.
During a live Q&A in December, he revealed that the pair were in the process of cooking up some new heat in the studio.
“Fans should know I produce and record too, so look out for my music,” he said. “Also look out for new classics with Ice in 2024. We’re working on her debut album as we speak.”
RIOTUSA also spoke extensively about working with Nicki Minaj, who collaborated with Ice Spice on “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World.”
“Nicki is a legend, icon. She was so cool in person and welcomed me into her creative space,” RIOT recounted. “When I found out she was getting on ‘Princess Diana,’ I knew it was lit. But then finding out about ‘Barbie World’ with Ice too? I was like nah, this is New York City.”
While she has yet to deliver a full album, Ice Spice kicked off 2023 with her first EP, Like..?, which contained the hit singles responsible for her meteoric rise to stardom. Between the music and her looks, she’s managed to capture the attention of fans and detractors alike.
Most recently, RIOTUSA produced Ice Spice’s newest release “Think U The Shit (Fart)” – which just became her highest-charting solo track to date.
The song debuted at No. 37 on the Hot 100 chart as of Saturday (February 10). The Bronx native’s highest-charting track overall, however, is “Karma,” which features Taylor Swift, and which peaked at No. 2 on the same chart.
