RAPPER Ice Spice has been called out for being disrespectful to her fans after she turned up late to a New Year's Eve performance. Criticised for "disrespecting" her Australian fans, Ice Spice, 25, turned up late to a festival in Brisbane and only managed to perform two of her hits.

Ice Spice was one of three headline acts for the Wildlands festival at the RNA showgrounds in Queensland on December 31. Tickets for the Aussie music festival were around $242, which works out to around £121. Ice Spice was due to begin her half-an-hour slot at 10:30pm, with Chase and Status due to follow on from her at 11:30pm with an hour-long performance to ring in 2025.

But the course of the festival was slightly thrown off when Ice Spice arrived late to her allotted time slot. Turning up 25 minutes later than planned, Ice Spice arrived at 10:55pm instead of 10:30pm. Because she turned up so late, the hitmaker, who collaborated with Taylor Swift on the track Karma, was only able to croon two of her songs before her mic was cut.

According to The Guardian, an Australian music podcaster revealed that Ice Spice was acting as though she "didn't want to be there". The podcaster and journalist, whose name is Brenton Larney, was in the crowd for the six-minute show. "At 11.01pm – they gave her an extra minute … – they cut the mic and you heard the collective sigh from the crowd," he said, according to the paper.
