Ice Spice clapped back at a Twitter troll who compared her looks to an unidentified woman with Down syndrome.
In a since-deleted tweet, Twitter user @illy_ilz shared a side-by-side split image featuring half of the “Princess Diana” rapper’s face and half of the face of a random woman who has the genetic disorder. The post seemingly implied that they resembled each other.
“u thought u ate but my sis cute asf 😍,” Spice tweeted Monday in response to the hateful tweet.
Fans praised the 23-year-old rapper for taking the high road and not allowing the social media user to get under her skin.
“And this why your mother status ain’t never getting revoked. You see how she ate that with class and grace, that’s mother right there❤️,” tweeted one supporter.
“the literal definition of girls girl, i love her so much,” added another.
“ice spice is such a sweet soul. i rlly hope the industry don’t change her for the worse,” tweeted a third person.

“Down syndrome visibility AND appreciation… I thought Spice was already an amazing woman but this takes mf the cake,” wrote a fourth fan.
“Love how you brought out the positivity in this post despite the original intent of the messy poster. Keep doing you Ice! Your ⭐️ will keep rising,” said another user.
Spice — whose real name is Isis Gaston — erupted on the music scene with her hit single “Munch (Feelin’ U)” last summer.
She has continued to gain momentum in the hip-hop world ever since, collaborating with everyone from Nicki Minaj and PinkPantheress to Taylor Swift.
However, the “Barbie World” emcee has had to deal with a lot of negativity from people who questioned if her success was due in part to the lighter hue of her skin.
“I have seen those opinions,” she told Teen Vogue last month on the topic of colorism. “I feel like that’s not something personal to me. I feel like that’s been the conversation for generations and forever, since the beginning of time.
“I try not to feed into negativity because I also see that when people are trying to make that point, it’s not out of a good place. [They end up putting] somebody else down.”
