Social media users will do anything to get quick clicks, even if that means pretending to commit a crime for the sake of views. Fans recently expressed concern after a TikTok of a man claiming to have stolen Ice Spice's chain went viral on Wednesday (March 29), but it seems like that video is reportedly just a hoax and a way to stir up fake engagement. Moreover, the video consists of two men, one of which holds up a chain of the word "Queen" and claims it's the "Munch" hitmaker's.

While many slammed the alleged perpetrators in the comments, a lot of people also said that it was clearly a joke. Apparently, some took it a little more seriously than others. Still, as one of the biggest artists right now, it's understandable that so many came to her defense swiftly. At the end of the day, it seemed like two guys making a targeted video in jest, as much as people blasted them for stealing a woman's jewelry. After all, they laugh while imitating her "Boy's a liar Pt. 2" flow at the end, so hopefully they mean this more in jest than to get a reaction from her.

Stolen Ice Spice Chain On TikTok Is Fake

Speaking of which, the iHeart Radio Awards presenter hasn't reacted or posted about the fake chain snatching as of writing this article. However, it's fair to say she was pretty unfazed by it in the first place. According to TMZ, a source close to Ice Spice claimed that she never owned the allegedly stolen "Queen" chain in the first place. That's more of a Nicki Minaj term, and the 23-year-old's signature chain she wore during her rise actually reads "Isis," her birth name.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice also dominates TikTok to begin with. No matter how hard people might try to take advantage of her name, nothing will be as big as her own creations and influence on the platform. Whether it's her music playing everywhere or clips of her hanging out with North West and Kim Kardashian, she's there for a good time, not a fake one. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest viral TikTok moments surrounding Ice Spice and for more updates on the superstar.
