A woman who physically attacked rapper Ice Spice inside a Hollywood McDonald’s on Wednesday is now telling her side of the story. She says the confrontation started because the rapper was dismissive and disrespectful toward her.
The woman, identified only as Vayah, spoke to TMZ on Thursday. She said she and her friends stopped at the fast-food restaurant to use the restroom. That’s when she spotted the Bronx-born rapper sitting at a table with a friend.
Vayah said she walked over to introduce herself and pay the rapper a compliment. What happened next, she says, caught her off guard.
“Immediately Ice Spice was being rude. She was like, ‘Why are you over here? You can leave, bye,’” Vayah told TMZ.
Vayah says she pushed back on the rapper’s tone before asking where she was from.
“She said, ‘I’m from New York,’” Vayah recalled. “Let me tell you something. You’re in LA. You’re in my city now, and you can’t be out here disrespecting people. If you wanted us to leave, you could have just said, politely, ‘I’m not in the mood.’”
From Compliment to Confrontation
According to Vayah, things escalated quickly after that exchange. She claims Ice Spice called her a “b***h” during the interaction. That moment, she says, is what pushed her over the edge.
Restaurant staff then escorted Vayah out of the McDonald’s. But she says she could still hear the rapper talking about her from outside.
The altercation did not end there. Additional footage shows the dispute spilling out onto the street, where a separate argument broke out. Vayah also alleged that during the chaos, Ice Spice grabbed her friend’s phone off the floor and threw it, cracking the screen.
However, surveillance footage obtained by TMZ appears to tell a different story. In the video, Vayah is seen approaching the table and asking if they were ready to “shake ass.” Ice Spice is heard responding, “That’s what you do? You shake ass?” before telling Vayah to “go do it then.” Vayah is then seen slapping the rapper.
‘She Lost a Fan’
Despite her own role in the physical confrontation, Vayah framed much of the incident as a failure of character on the rapper’s part. She said she held Ice Spice to a higher standard.
“As a fan, I’m not expecting you to be rude,” Vayah said. “She had a different attitude towards me. She lost a fan. I can’t listen to her anymore.”
Vayah said the incident changed the way she sees the rapper entirely and that she no longer wishes to support her.
Ice Spice’s legal team moved quickly after the incident. Her lawyer issued a statement to TMZ, saying the attack had been reported to the Los Angeles Police Department and that all available avenues would be pursued to hold those responsible accountable.
Vayah’s account has not been independently verified. Authorities have not released further details as the investigation continues.
