Ice Spice is playing her cards right and wants everyone to know it. This Thursday, the artist behind the hit “Deli” spoke up about the mixed reactions to her upcoming debut album, ‘Y2K’, set to release on July 26.
The cover photo, shot by David LaChapelle, features the album title on a trash can, sparking lively discussions among her followers. Ice Spice took to Twitter with a Polaroid snap of herself and the famous photographer, sharing a heartfelt note.
“David LaChapelle is the spirit of Y2K! So sweet and a true legend. He gave his services on the house because he vibes with the real me,” she tweeted. “Big thanks for all the stunning visuals over the years. This cover is super special to me and yes, we intentionally chose the trash can for ‘Y2K’.
