ice seasoning is not a victim of chain snatching as suggested in a recently circulated video, but instead, is believed to be a TikTok hoax to gain the attention of the online community.
The clip, which has more than 6.7 million views as of Thursday, shows a man showing off Spice’s stone “Queen” necklace in a video posted to social media on Wednesday.
Rapper says viral clip appears to show stolen ice spice string It’s all a hoax on TikTok
The footage made the music artist really nervous, however, as it turned out the whole thing was nothing more than a joke, according to TMZ.
The TikToker who posted the video has received widespread backlash for apparently robbing a woman’s necklace.
However, a source close to the rapper told the outlet that Ice has never even owned the piece of jewelry.

The “Queen” brand happens to belong to Nicki Minaj, while Ice has mostly worn custom “Isis” pendants over the past few years.
She upgraded her current $100,000 chain in January after dropping “Like…?” EP, and shows it off when she meets Kim Kardashian and North West, in a warm – and genuine – viral moment.
