Venue Releases Statement After Viral Video Shows Ice Spice Being Cut Off

Rapper Ice Spice faced a wave of backlash after arriving nearly 30 minutes late to her highly anticipated New Year’s Eve performance at the Wildlands Festival in Queensland, Australia.

The "Barbie World" singer, who was the headline act, was scheduled to perform at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Tuesday evening.

However, fans of Ice Spice were left frustrated when the rapper showed up 25 minutes late for her 30-minute set.

Ice Spice Shows Up Late To Her Performance

When Ice Spice finally hit the stage, the situation only worsened. Just five minutes into her performance, her microphone was cut off by event organizers due to the looming 12:30 a.m. curfew. Despite appearing to continue performing, her voice couldn’t be heard as the stage was being cleared to make way for the next act.

As boos echoed from the crowd, the "Deli" artist was seen pacing back and forth across the stage before flashing a peace sign and exiting without addressing the audience.

Disappointed fans, some of whom had traveled up to six hours and spent over $350 per ticket, took to social media to express their anger.
