Speaker 1 (00:00):
Days after dropping her new single Big Guy for the
upcoming SpongeBob movie Search for Square Pants, Ice Spice found
herself at the center of an internet wide meme storm
as the song's chorus, SpongeBob big Guy Pants Okay, echoed
across social media. According to Foxy ninety nine, the track,
released on November fourteenth, is not just a viral sensation
(00:22):
among young fans, but represents a career milestone for Ice Spice,
who also secured a minor voice acting role in the
animated film. She described this as a full circle moment
and reminisced in Rolling Stone about loving SpongeBob since childhood.
Social media exploded with remixes, mashups, and jokes, with some
fans embracing the repetitive hook and others poking fun or
(00:45):
expressing fatigue with its ubiquity. A notable mean involved pairing
the big Guy chorus with all sorts of unrelated Big
Guy posts online. The single itself has polarized reactions. Gen
Z and younger millennial fans seemed delighted with her playful,
reference filled lyrics about SpongeBob's bubble blowing and high school life,
while some critics as highlighted in a biting review from Cracked,
(01:08):
found the track forgettable or even grating, but both supporters
and skeptics acknowledge her strong cultural poll with the younger demo.
Paramount Pictures plans to release the movie in December twenty
twenty five, and Ice Spice appears poised for even more
crossover success. In business moves and ambitions, Ice Spice let
People Magazine know she wants to follow her SpongeBob success
(01:32):
by starring in Hello Kitty and Betty Boop movies next.
This signals a sharp pivot toward family friendly franchise entertainment
and speaks to her strategic approach to brand building beyond music.
On the live performance front, she is continuing a steady
tour schedule, with recent shows in Colorado on November twenty second,
as reported by Live Music Forecast, keeping her profile up
(01:54):
in key markets. Meanwhile, on November twenty first, Iced Tea
created a stir by post, an AI generated image featuring himself,
Ice Spice, Ice Cube, and Vanilla Ice Ice skating together,
jokingly dubbing the group the Ices on X formerly Twitter.
According to Complex, the post drew rapid fan attention in memes,
(02:16):
though it did not involve any direct statement by Ice
Spice herself. No credible reports mentioned business conflicts, legal entanglements,
or new music projects outside the SpongeBob collaboration. There is
no evidence of public controversy or unsubstantiated rumors catching fire
in the past week. Taken together, the mean driven virality
(02:38):
of Big Guy, her breakthrough into voice acting, and hence
at expanding into major animated franchises, mark a substantial period
likely to remain significant in the biographical arc of Ice Spice.
