Taylor Swift’s “Karma” was not at all a relaxing thought for Ice Spice—in the best possible way.
In fact, while she now considers Taylor her “closest celebrity friend,” the rapper (real name: Isis Gaston) detailed how emotional she got after learning the Eras Tour performer reached out to see if she would collaborate on the “Karma” remix.
“I remember my manager called me, and he usually texts, but he called, and he’s like, ‘You ready for this one?’ And I’m thinking it’s going to be some bad news or something,” Ice recalled to Rolling Stone in an interview published July 25. “He’s like, ‘Taylor Swift has a record for you to get on from her album.’ I’m playing it cool on the phone. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. Super cool.’ And then I hang up the phone and I’m hysterically crying.”
And Ice even noted that her longtime producer Riot (real name: Ephrem Louis Lopez, Jr.), captured the moment—which took place in her New Jersey apartment—on camera.
“I’m in my walk-in closet, and I’m like, ‘Bro, this is not real life,’” she added. “Riot definitely filmed it. That’ll probably be in a documentary one day.”
