Ice Spice's Sizzling Summer: From Diamant Blazi to Soulja Boy Drama

Ice Spice BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ice Spice has set the internet and tabloid rumor mill ablaze over the past few days. On August 18, fans and paparazzi saw her stepping out of West Hollywood’s exclusive Cecconi’s restaurant with Diamant Blazi, the French basketball phenom and TikTok sensation whose highlight reels have raked in millions of views. TMZ snapped photos of the pair together and sparked a frenzy online, with speculation flying that Ice Spice may have cooled off with her former beau Sauce Gardner, the New York Jets star. The couple, who only went Instagram official a month or so ago, have not appeared together publicly since earlier in the summer; both have been conspicuously absent from each other’s social media for weeks now. According to a source cited by TMZ, Ice and Diamant were “just enjoying time together,” coyly avoiding any confirmation of a romantic upgrade, but every gossip platform from HipHopWired to BallerAlert has been buzzing about what this West Hollywood meetup means for her celebrity dating life.

Adding to the intrigue, Soulja Boy made headlines by openly flirting with Ice on social media just days after the Diamant Blazi sighting. Ice Spice herself has not responded, but her current romance drama is being dissected daily by fans and pop-culture reporters. Meanwhile, Sauce Gardner, who is in the thick of Jets preseason training, has kept his own social channels free of any relationship drama, leaving the breakup rumors to swirl unchecked.

In addition to her off-stage life taking center stage, Ice Spice continues to build her brand well beyond music. She recently starred in Kate Spade New York’s new campaign “To The Ones Who Carry Us,” alongside Charli D’Amelio, celebrating friendship and fierce female energy. In the commercial world, her face is everywhere: Dunkin’ gave her a pumpkin spice Munchkins drink, she lent humor and star power to Starry soda ads ahead of Super Bowl LIX, and appeared in SKIMS campaigns, handpicked by Kim Kardashian for her influence and appeal.

Musically, Ice released the hit album Y2K! in 2024 featuring Travis Scott and Central Cee, followed by its deluxe edition and a blockbuster world tour. Her single Think U the Sh-t (Fart) broke records on the charts last year, and she’s keeping momentum alive with teasers for new music. On the silver screen, the Bronx rapper made her debut in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, which premiered at Cannes, where her cameo was credited as Marisol Cepeda. She’s also set to voice a character in the upcoming SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, further cementing her crossover into Hollywood.

As August winds down, Ice Spice remains one of pop culture’s most magnetic figures. Whether she’s making headlines for her relationships, major brand deals, or artistic ventures, the only thing more captivating than the rumors is her ability to stay relevant, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.
