Ice Spice rose to quick fame earlier this year after her feature on English singer and record producer PinkPanthress' song "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" became one of the most popular songs of the winter and spring. In just this year Ice Spice has gone on to release her own EP "Like..?" and has collaborated with megastars including Nicki Minaj in her song "Princess Diana" and Taylor Swift in her song "Karma (feat. Ice Spice)." She also featured on the song "Barbie World" this summer with Nicki Minaj and Aqua — the theme song of the movie "Barbie" that came out in July and was as of Sunday the 11th top-earning film of all time in domestic sales, according to Forbes. During the Dunkin' event on Wednesday, customers received a free Ice Spice donut with the purchase of her new drink.
