ISIS Naija Gaston, better known as Ice Spice, has clarified her relationship with British rapper Central Cee, real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, following a wave of rumors on TikTok. 

The 24-year-old rapper confirmed in a Rolling Stone interview that her relationship with Central, 26, is strictly platonic. 

"We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out, honestly. We’re just twins," Ice explained.

Ice also mentioned her struggle with "trust issues," making it difficult for her to open up to people. 

The rumors of a romantic link between the two artists intensified after their collaboration on the track "Did It First," featured on Ice's new album, Y2K! 

The song, which deals with themes of infidelity, had fans speculating about a possible romance.

The rumors gained momentum when the pair was seen spending time together, including driving around London in Central’s Lamborghini and visiting a jewelry store. 

Central added fuel to the fire by leaving a flirty comment on Ice’s Instagram post, where she danced to their song and captioned it with a lyric: "If he cheatin im doin him worse." 

Central commented, "Trouble," further stirring speculation.

Adding to the drama, Central’s ex-girlfriend, Madeline Argy, claimed that she and Central were still together when he was seen with Ice. Madeline, 23, alleged in a TikTok rant that she felt like she was part of a "marketing scheme" for the new song. 

She stated that she intended to break up with Central in early July but he preemptively warned her about the photos with Ice, leaving her feeling sidelined.

Madeline also claimed that Central's team informed her that he had "no control" over the situation. 

In response, Ice posted a photo with Central on Instagram, captioned, "Ain’t trippin da grip in my purse," seemingly addressing the allegations.
