This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to describe Ice Spice's rise to fame.

Ice Spice is on everybody's mind even if you don't know who she is. The 23-year-old Bronx native is a drill rapper who has captivated the chronically online Gen-Z audience with a presence that even we Zoomers and offline people can't escape. So how did a girl from The Bronx – who was attending SUNY Purchase and working as a cashier at Wendy's and The Gap, relatively unknown to most at the beginning of the year – win four VMAs, secure a Billboard No. 3 hit with another TikTok pop singer PinkPanthress , co-rap with Nicki Minaj on this summer's hottest Barbie anthem "Barbie World," feature on "Karma" with Taylor Swift , star in her own Dunkin commercial with uber Dunkin stan Ben Affleck and snag herself a "Saturday Night Live" opening season gig alongside everybody's rumored boyfriend Pete Davidson ?

Remove exaggerated language and focus on the facts of Ice Spice's rise to fame.

Biased language

The article uses biased language to describe certain individuals and events.

The British singer is notorious in online circles for saying offensive and creepy incel comments about women . And Ice Spice was in Healy's line of fire. The scandal becomes seemingly more interesting when we add in that Healy was Taylor Swift's new beau of the moment after her fresh breakup with long-term six-year boyfriend actor, Joe Alwyn. The internet blew up with discourse circling and questioning Swift's commitment to allyship when she was dating someone who mocked Ice Spice by calling her "Inuit Spice Girl" and "Chubby Chinese Lady" (even though she's Nigerian and Dominican). Healy apologized in a classic non-apology with "Sorry if I've offended you." In a New Yorker profile, he said that his offense "doesn't matter." Swift never publically commented on the relationship or Healy's disgusting comments on Ice Spice, instead, she decided she would feature the rapper on the song off of "Midnights" called "Karma." Many called the move damage control, accusing the singer of exploiting her allyship , using the controversy as a way to cash in on the moment and avoid taking accountability for dating someone who publicly said he watched porn that brutalized Black women. People criticized Swift for seemingly claiming to be a supporter of Black women and the feminist cause . . . but only if or when it served her.

Use neutral language when describing individuals and events to avoid bias.

Omission of key information

The article omits key information about Ice Spice's background and early career.

Ice Spice's meteoric rise really began when she went viral in the latter half of 2022. Her song "Munch (Feelin' U)" opened the gates for an entryway onto the zeitgeist's radar. She followed up her viral success with other songs like the "Spongebob Squarepants" inspired song "Bikini Bottom" and the girl-empowered "In Ha Mood." Eventually, she followed up with the EP in early 2023, aptly named "Like . .?" after her catchphrase.
