Ice Spice Denies Pregnancy Rumors After CGI Bump in New Video
Ice Spice has taken to social media to clarify that she is not pregnant, a claim that surfaced after a brief CGI‑generated bump appeared in the music video for her August 28 collaboration with Lil Yachty, “Out My Face (My Baby).” In the clip, the 26‑year‑old rapper’s stomach expands in sync with the lyric “Matter of fact, make me a mom,” sparking speculation that she was hinting at an impending pregnancy.
During a TikTok Live session recorded by LiveBitez, the artist explained that the belly was a deliberate visual effect. “Not pregnant, guys. In the song I literally say, ‘Matter of fact, make me a mom.’ And it was CGI. I am chunky, though,” she told viewers. The effect lasts roughly five seconds in a video that runs about three and a half minutes.
Ice Spice has faced similar rumors before. In 2024, a photo she posted on social media prompted speculation that she was expecting, to which she replied on Twitter, “Nobody pregnant, just phat,” a statement reported by Complex.
The single, released on August 28, pairs the rapper with American hip‑hop artist Lil Yachty, known for the 2015 hit “One Night” and his 2024 collaborative album with James Blake, “Bad Cameo.” The track adds to Ice Spice’s growing catalog of chart‑performing singles, which includes 2023 hits such as “Princess Diana” with Nicki Minaj and “Karma” with Taylor Swift.
Beyond music, Ice Spice has expanded her brand into beauty. In July, she launched her first fragrance, In Ha Mood, exclusively through Ulta’s TikTok Shop. The fruity‑floral scent was unveiled during a livestream that also served as a promotional event for the perfume.
Her career began in 2020 after meeting producer RiotUSA, and she signed with 10K Projects, an imprint of Capitol Records, in September 2022. Her debut EP, Like…?, debuted in January 2023 and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200, producing her first Hot 100 entry, “Gangsta Boo.” Ice Spice’s rapid rise earned her several accolades, including the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist.
Lil Yachty, born Miles Parks McCollum, has been active since 2015 and has worked across hip‑hop, pop, and experimental genres. His 2023 album, Let’s Start Here, marked a stylistic shift toward psychedelic rock.
According to reports, the CGI bump in the “Out My Face” video was a deliberate creative choice designed to emphasize the lyric about motherhood while preserving the playful tone of the collaboration. The brief effect drew attention from fans and media outlets, leading to speculation that Ice Spice was announcing a pregnancy.
Ice Spice’s direct response via TikTok Live clarified the intent behind the visual. The artist’s statement, recorded by LiveBitez and shared on the platform, allowed fans to see the explanation in real time.
The incident underscores how visual elements in music videos can generate rumors, especially when they coincide with lyrical references. It also highlights the importance of artists communicating directly with audiences to dispel misinformation.
In short, Ice Spice is not pregnant, and the belly in the “Out My Face” video was a CGI effect used to match a lyric about becoming a mother. The single was released on August 28, and the rapper continues to expand her brand with her fragrance launch at Ulta. No further pregnancy rumors have been reported, and the artist remains focused on her music and upcoming projects.
