Ice Spice has introduced the world to her “ex-boyfriend” in her Starry Super Bowl commercial.
The Bronx rap star appears in the ad alongside the company’s animated lemon and lime mascots. The trio are out at a bar together when Ice Spice is interrupted by her “ex” who happens to be another brand of lemon and lime soda.

The man is dressed in a green hoody with the logo blurred out, but it is implied that the brand is Sprite.
In the ad, the “ex-boyfriend” professes his love to Ice Spice, who responds: “I just needed something more refreshing, more crisp.”
Ice Spice previously spoke about her first Super Bowl commercial during an appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna: “I was so excited to be starring in my first Super Bowl commercial ever. Shout out Starry. This is crazy, I never really did nothing like this before.”
She also said she would be supporting the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl as they are her dad’s favorite team, even though they are New York natives.

“Surprisingly, because we’re from New York, right? Every Super Bowl he would still tune in and have me watching. It was this whole big event,” she added.
“The halftime show was, of course, my favorite part, but I definitely would watch the ads. And I noticed that the ads were bigger and star-filled.”
Starry is Pepsi’s newest product, launched in January 2023 to replace Sierra Mist and compete against Sprite and 7 Up.
Although she’s in a huge commercial, not everybody is an Ice Spice fan as conservative pundit Candace Owens recently slammed the rapper for setting America back.

The controversial right-wing figure took aim at the “Munch” hitmaker on a recent episode of her podcast, where she criticized the content of her latest single “Think U the Shit (Fart).”
Owens said: “If you’re wondering whether it’s a good song, what do you think? It’s called ‘Think U the Shit (Fart).’ Now I think we can all admit we have fallen as a society.”

“I wouldn’t say that was Mozart or Beethoven but I’m not these mainstream media publications who rush to defend this type of music like they did with ‘WAP,’ the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics I’ve ever read,” she added, referencing the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit.
Owens then quoted a positive review of the song before saying: “This is the reason nobody reads this crap anymore. You guys lie about the big stuff and you lie about the dumb stuff. I just want to live in a society where we can all acknowledge that a song that’s titled ‘Think U The Shit (Fart)’ is in fact itself a shit fart.”
