"Munch" rapper Ice Spice releases her last album of 2024 -- and the drama has already ensued. Cue the viral TikTok sound, "Come to find out, everybody ate!"

Following several unhinged TikTok story times, Bronx rapper Ice Spice releases Y2k!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe). With five new tracks, Y2K! deluxe unveils fresh features with Spanish rapper Bb trickz, NLE Choppa and more. The extended release also features hyperrealistic cover art, shot by renowned photographer David LaChapelle. The artist recently produced Megan thee Stallion's Megan: Act I cover art, too.

Within its first day, Y2K! hit almost 1 million streams, a major win for a Christmas drop. To celebrate the release, the rapper joined From the Block for a performance. In the clip, she raps her catchphrase -- with a twist. "Yeah I got slim but I still eat my oats," referencing Ozempic rumors.

Where some were concerned Spice couldn't revive from recent fallout, her fans still rally support. "I’ve replayed it 10 times no joke," one fan commented. Another shared, "I've been waiting for this since September."

As news of the drop circulates, fans are of course comparing Spice's "Hannah Montana" remix to that of her former bestie's, Cleoptrapa. At the time of Spice's Y2K! release, fans speculated that she was attempting to recreate the feel of Cleotrapa's "Rockstar," (the Hanna Montana sample). Months later ironically, Spice pops out with a "Hannah Montana" remix seemingly fueling the debate and thus, the TikTok drama that detailed their fallout. The result deeply impacted Spice's popularity so the success of this project is... necessary.
