New music on the way from this duo?

Ice Spice performed at Terminal 5 in her hometown of New York City on August 7, the first of a two-night home stand at the venue during her Y2K! Tour. Producer Cash Cobain opened for her. However, he was not the only guest on the night. Fellow New Yorkers Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Fivio Foreign also performed, turning the night into a celebration of the new New York. Additionally, R&B star PartyNextDoor made an appearance at the show. He sang a medley of his most popular songs, including "Break From Toronto."

After the show, PartyNextDoor posted a picture of him and Ice Spice together backstage on Instagram. "Get it while it's hot," the caption reads. This led to fans speculating that the two of them have music on the way. The thought of the two of them collaborating led to an overwhelmingly negative reaction from PND fans. "Should’ve been Summer Walker instead," reads the most liked comment on the post. "ABSOLUTELY NOT. She gon' get party to start talking bout farts," said a second user. "Coulda did a collab with ANYBODY else," said a third Instagram user.

During a guest set at a PartyNextDoor show in Toronto earlier this month, Drake announced that the two of them were releasing a joint album towards the end of 2024. "When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you," he told the crowd to a raucous reception. Because of Drake's prior announcement and the OVO signee performing at her concert, additional speculation arose about if Ice Spice is appearing on their album. Drake co-signed Ice earlier into her career, so it is possible.

For Ice Spice, the Y2K! Tour started in the beginning of July, before her album of the same name even released. You can read our review of the album here. Ice Spice's shows in New York City are sold out, marking a very successful homecoming for the artist. We'll see if anything more comes from the photo of the two or if it was nothing more than that.
