Bronx rapper Ice Spice, known for her viral hit "Munch," recently found herself in trouble on Instagram due to her real name, Isis Naija Gaston. The rapper, who has over 6 million followers on Instagram, had a post removed for violating the platform's "community guidelines on violent or dangerous groups" just for using her own name.
Ice Spice took to her Instagram Story on April 17th to explain the situation, writing, "Can't type my name is ode," alongside a screenshot of the banned post. The post in question was a photo of herself on the set with Nicki Minaj for their "Princess Diana" remix visual.
It's likely that the post was removed due to an automatic filter on the platform designed to block any mention of the terrorist organization ISIS or ISIL. However, Ice Spice's post had nothing to do with the group and was simply a photo of herself with Nicki Minaj.
Despite this setback, Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj have teamed up to release a new EP of "Princess Diana" remixes, which includes four alternate versions of Ice Spice's popular track. The four remixes maintain the original's energetic beat while bringing their own flavor, texture, and influence to the work.
The "Princess Diana" remixes come just days after the song's video set fire to the internet. In the video, Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj don an entirely pink wardrobe as they get up close and personal with each other in a Barbie-inspired bedroom. The remix of the Like...? single follows Ice Spice's debut EP, which includes "In Ha Mood" and "Munch."
Ice Spice's situation highlights the potential pitfalls of automatic filters on social media platforms. While they are designed to protect users, they can sometimes create unnecessary obstacles for content creators. Hopefully, Ice Spice's situation will lead to more thoughtful consideration of how these filters are implemented.
In conclusion, Ice Spice's real name landed her in Instagram trouble, but she's not letting that stop her from continuing to create and release music. With her collaboration with Nicki Minaj and her growing fanbase, Ice Spice is sure to keep making waves in the music industry.
