Ice Spice just responded to North West's portrait of her that she shared on TikTok. Moreover, TMZ caught up with the Bronx rapper on Monday (February 13) and asked her if she saw the skillful drawing. "I did, it was so cute!" Spice replied. "Thank you, North." Also, the reporter took the chance to ask her if she thought that talent ran in the family. Still, the 23-year-old didn't play into Kanye West conversations just yet. "She's so talented," Ice replied simply. When asked whether she'd come out with new music soon, she responded with another simple "Yes." Of course, maybe these answers are all paparazzi fodder, but it's unlikely that she would just trash on the drawing.

Furthermore, Kim Kardashian often praised and showcased North's work before. For example, they share a lot of pieces on TikTok, such as charcoal drawings that apparently represent North's "emo phase." Also, she spoke in February of 2022 of how happy her daughter's expressions make her. “I love seeing, like, the personality and the moods and everything that she goes through and just feel like it’s really been an amazing hobby of hers."

Meanwhile, the "Bikini Bottom" MC had quite the busy weekend, from adoring fans to rowdy concertgoers. To start, a fan tried to gift her a bouquet of flowers outside of a nightclub gig she headed to. While she smiled and acknowledged their sweetness, she denied the flowers and kept walking to her gig. From what this latest TMZ clip of the drawing indicates, it seems Ice is a master of dodging unwanted situations with chilly stoicism. Sure, she does so gracefully and with respect, but that takes a lot of media training. If anything, she only deserves props for being able to handle so many eyes on her with public poise.

However, things got tougher once she entered the venue itself. While she performed, a massive crowd started to amass near the stage. In fact, it became so overwhelming that the rapper had to push fans off her as they tried to get too close. Even with the DJ and scant security doing their best to crowd-control, it's yet another resilient display from the superstar. Let us know what you think of her response in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest on Ice Spice.
