Ice Spice Says This ‘Gorgeous Man’ Was Her First Celebrity Crush

6 December, 2023

Ice Spice got it bad for Usher!

The rapper sat down with Doja Cat for a special edition Instagram podcast titled Close Friends Only, where the duo discussed a variety of topics, from fashion trends and their 2023 eras to tips for flirting on social media.

At one point, Doja asks Ice Spice who her first celebrity crush was. “Ugh, it’s so embarrassing,” the 23-year-old star replies, but Doja eventually convinces her to reveal the truth. “It was Usher,” Ice reveals. “I saw him at the Met Gala and it was my first time ever seeing him, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, it’s him.”

“He’s beautiful,” Doja says, and Ice Spice agrees by noting, “Gorgeous man.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Ice Spice revealed the “checklist” for making it into her Close Friends Stories on Instagram. “The checklist would have to be we met in person at least once. That’s about it,” she simply explained, to which the “Paint the Town Red” star replied, “Well, damn! Put me on there.”

The full podcast episode of Close Friends Only, produced in collaboration with The Unwell Network, will go live across streaming platforms including Spotify, iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts and YouTube on Thursday (Dec. 7).

It’s been a big year for the superstar duo, who both released new projects this year. Ice Spice dropped her EP Like..? back in January, while Doja unveiled her highly anticipated follow-up to Planet Her, Scarlet, in September.
