Ice Spice, the popular rapper and friend of Taylor Swift, has been accused of being a satanist by some conspiracy theorists who claim to have spotted her making ‘devil’ signs and wearing an upside down cross at the Super Bowl.
The allegations have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some fans defending the star and others condemning her.
The controversy started when a video of Ice Spice, Swift, and Blake Lively watching the game from their private suite went viral. In the clip, Ice Spice can be seen making various hand gestures, such as the ‘sign of the horns’, the ‘OK’ sign, and the ‘shaka’ sign. Some viewers interpreted these as symbols of the occult, while others dismissed them as harmless expressions of excitement.
Adding to the speculation, Ice Spice was also seen wearing a necklace with a cross pendant that appeared to be inverted. Some critics claimed this was a deliberate display of blasphemy, while others argued that it was simply a fashion choice or a result of the camera angle.
Ice Spice has not responded to the accusations, but some of her fans have come to her defense, pointing out that she is a devout Christian who often posts about her faith on social media. They also noted that she has a tattoo of a cross on her wrist, and that she has spoken out against racism and injustice in her music.
Some of her supporters also suggested that the conspiracy theorists were motivated by jealousy, sexism, or racism, and that they were trying to tarnish her reputation and success.
The debate over Ice Spice’s alleged satanism is not the first time that a celebrity has faced such accusations. In the past, stars like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, and Madonna have also been accused of being involved in the occult or worshipping the devil, based on their lyrics, imagery, or gestures.
The Super Bowl, which was held on February 12, 2024, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, was won by the Kansas City Chiefs, who defeated the San Francisco 49ers by 25-22 in a thrilling match.
The halftime show was performed by Usher, who delivered a spectacular performance that featured hits like Yeah!, OMG, and DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love.
