Ice Spice's Outfit at SpongeBob Premiere Draws Mixed Reactions

Published 20 December 2025

Rapper Ice Spice drew mixed reactions on social media after arriving at the New York City premiere of the animated film "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" on Wednesday in a sheer white lace dress that revealed her undergarments. The 25-year-old Bronx native, making her voice acting debut in the movie, attended the invite-only screening for influencers and industry figures, which highlighted her contributions to the project ahead of its theatrical release on Friday.

Ice Spice voices the character Ticket Taker, an animated fish with an orange Afro reminiscent of her own style, and she contributed an original song, "Big Guy," to the soundtrack. Produced by her frequent collaborator RIOTUSA, the track features playful lyrics such as "Tight fit, square hips, doing the dance in my big guy pants." The music video, released last month, shows her riding a fictional roller coaster at a theme park inspired by the SpongeBob universe. The film, rated PG, follows SpongeBob as he embarks on an underwater adventure to prove himself to Mr. Krabs, blending classic humor with contemporary elements. It also stars voices like Mark Hamill, Regina Hall, and George Lopez.
