Rapper Ice Spice was involved in an altercation that began in a Los Angeles McDonald’s and spilled into the street. 
The Bronx native was seated with a friend in a Hollywood eatery when they were approached by another woman who appeared to be unwelcomed, according to TMZ. 
The “Barbie World” performer seemingly asks the interloper to leave them alone, at which point the woman, identified only as Vayah, seems to strike the rapper. 
A group appearing to be with that “fan” drags her away. 
Ice Spice then gives pursuit. 
The excited groups pour outside, where TMZ says the musician, born Isis Gaston, picks up a phone that appears to have been dropped by one of her alleged antagonist’s associates and smashes it. 
After the two sides exchange unpleasantries, the “fan” seems to throw a punch at Ice Spice. 
That reignites the pushing and grabbing. 
Ice Spice’s attorney Bradford Cohen called the Wednesday morning incident an “unprovoked attack” and told TMZ the matter was reported to authorities. 
Vayah reportedly said she was treated rudely while trying to tell the rapper she’s an admirer, and then retaliated. 
Ice Spice knows her way around a fast-food joint. 
She worked at a Wendy’s before breaking into music, according to a 2023 interview with XXL. 
She credits the hustle and bustle of New York City for her success. 
“New York is full of stars, for real,” she said. 
“So, it’s just like growing up around a bunch of stars, I feel like I became one.”
