The 2024 BET Awards helped close out Black Music Month on Sunday (June 30) with performances by Will Smith, GloRilla, Latto, Shaboozey, Megan Thee Stallion, Tyla and many more.
Ice Spice – who was nominated in three categories at the 2024 BET Awards – performed two of her recent singles during the live broadcast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Joined by dancers twerking on motorcycles, Ice Spice stood in front of a set designed to look like a gas station while twerking her way through “Phat Butt” in a lacy bikini bottom and fuzzy white boots. Segueing into “Think U the Sh-t (Fart),” she confidently strutted around the stage delivering lines like “Be quick, but I’m quicker / Be thick, but I’m thicker / She could be rich, but I’m richer.”
“Phat Butt” was recently released, while “Think U the Sh-t (Fart)” hit the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in February. Ice Spice was named Billboard Women in Music’s 2024 Hitmaker. “I think this is some of my best work,” Ice Spice told Billboard of her upcoming album, Y2K. “It’s not going to be too long — it’s going to be sweet and to the point.”
Ice Spice is nominated for best collaboration and video of the year, both for her Nicki Minaj collab (with Aqua) “Barbie World” from the Barbie movie. She is also up for the BET Award for best female hip-hop artist. Minaj and Ice Spice previously collaborated on a “Princess Diana” remix, which she described as her “dream collab fulfilled.”
