‘This Wouldn’t Happen at Wendy’s’

Ice Spice took to social media on Friday night to address a viral video showing the rapper involved in a tussle at McDonald’s earlier this week.

Using the opportunity to seemingly tease an unreleased song, Ice Spice reposted the video on X alongside a snippet of the track and the caption: “This wouldn’t happen at a Wendy’s,” a nod toward her former employer. Notably, Ice Spice’s social media bio on X and Instagram describes her as a “@wendys princes.”

Ice Spice made headlines earlier on Friday after TMZ released a video of her sitting in a booth at a McDonald’s in Hollywood on Wednesday morning. In the clip, a woman approaches the rapper and her friend and appears to attempt to sit next to them before Ice Spice points toward the door. After a brief exchange of words, the woman reaches out to strike the Grammy-nominated artist and a scuffle ensues. Ice Spice is seen bounding across booths and tables, chasing the woman outside of the establishment where the altercation continues.

“The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,” Ice Spice’s attorney Bradford Cohen said to TMZ. “We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

When speaking to Billboard, her lawyer said, “Not to mention that the individuals involved obviously did not realize that we would get the video from inside the McDonald’s where the unprovoked attack occurred. They then turned their cameras on after the initial attack as if to set our client up, and as they say on the video to ‘go viral.’ The only thing that will be going viral for them is their mugshots.”
