An earthquake in New Jersey shook much of New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area on Friday morning (April 5). While residents of the Big Apple searched for answers as to why the rare natural disaster struck the Northeast, Ice Spice stepped in to jokingly take responsibility for the shifting tectonic plates.
The Bronx native blamed her fat physique. “My bad for the earthquake you'll know this, it's applause,” she hilariously wrote.
Fans reveled in Ice Spice's viral booty-quake reveal and flooded her with responses to X (As of press time, her tweet has over 120,000 likes). “Maybe that's the truest thing I've ever heard,” wrote one.
Others continued to respond to Ice Spice with a clip of her shivering in a pool. The “Princess Diana” rapper responded to one of the videos saying that Thriller leaked it from her drafts.
Per ABC7, a recorded magnitude 4.8 earthquake occurred near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey around 10:23 am. ET on Friday, located about 45 miles west of New York. Shockwaves lashed the East Coast from Washington, DC to Maine. Fortunately there were no reports of death or major damage.
“Our preliminary reports do not indicate any significant life safety or infrastructure issues from the earthquake. We are conducting thorough inspections in critical areas,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Early estimates suggest that 42 million people felt the quake in some capacity, but perhaps no one seized the moment more than Ice Spice thanks to her witty humor and self-awareness.
On the music side, Ice Spice is heading towards its release Y2K debut album later this year. The project remains without a release date, but the 24-year-old revealed she finished recording in March.
“I think this is one of my best jobs,” he said Advertising sign of the LP, while also hinting that “it's not going to be too long — it's going to be sweet and timely.”
