The earth was shaking across several states on the Eastern Seaboard earlier today and Ice Spice is the culprit—sort of.
Ice Spice threw some comic relief into the air after an earthquake shook the East Coast in states like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut on Friday (April 5). The rapper chose to bring one of her physical attributes into the mix while sharing a twerking joke on social media.
