Ice Spice knows a thing or two about cooking hits (she's got four top 10s on the Hot 100), and she's given her pick for song of the summer this year.
Today caught the “Barbie World” rapper looking sizzling on the red carpet at the 2024 BET Awards, and Ice Spice doesn't think there's much debate when it comes to the top tune of the summer.
“I think it's 'Espresso.' I don't think we have a choice – it's 'Espresso,' yeah,” he said while saluting Sabrina Carpenter's anthem.
“Espresso” spends an 11th week on the Billboard Hot 100. It currently sits at No. 4 in the latest installment of the charts peaking at No. 3. “Espresso” has rebounded to spend a sixth week atop the Billboard Global Excl. USA chart.
Carpenter may have competition from herself as she produced another Song of the Summer contender with the “Espresso” follow-up “Please Please Please,” which topped the Hot 100 for her first No. 1 hit and is now on No. 5.
With her first pair Y2K! single, Ice Spice doesn't seem to have a song of the summer contender yet, but all hope isn't lost. The 24-year-old's anticipated debut album arrives on July 26, and there's plenty of time for one more single to catch fire between now and the end of the month.
Carpenter and Ice Spice they met in February 2023 at a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles. Footage captured the two having a heated exchange and posing for photos together.
