“This is definition of Selling your soul” — Internet reacts to Ice Spice’s viral twerk video from Open’er Festival

Ice Spice, the Bronx-born rapper renowned for her dynamic stage presence, has stirred significant online debate following a viral video from her recent performance at the Open'er Festival. During the event, she turned away from the audience to deliver her trademark twerk, but her demeanor appeared noticeably detached.

Amid her ongoing Y2K! World Tour and preparations for her debut studio album, her subdued performance has sparked speculation about her future in the spotlight. Her latest appearance raises concerns about the demands of constantly performing as an energetic rapper.

One X user reacting to the surfaced video from the concert wrote:

"This is definition of selling your soul."

On July 5, while performing on the second day of her Y2K! World Tour, the rapper attempted to engage the Open'er Festival crowd. However, viewers noticed something amiss. In the viral clip, her facial expression appeared to convey a mix of boredom, annoyance, and regret. This has raised concerns among her dedicated fans, known as Munchkins, about her mental well-being.

Several fans flocked to social media platforms to share their opinions.

"Ima twerk for them, because I got no other talent," one fan wrote.

"she just wants her check and I'm not mad at it," another person commented.

"she just soullessly twerking wtf," one person added.

Other reactions highlighted the challenges of her career.

"Ice Spice starting to wish she didn't base her whole character off twerking," one person commented.

"The only time they scream is when she twerks so she gotta do that every single time," another X user observed.

But there were others who supported her.

"I’m soooo tired of seeing that twerk video. 1. It looks AI manipulated. 2. Maybe she was having a bad day or that was just her being silly? Stop trying to sabotage real talent," one fan wrote.

"if i were Ice Spice I too would twerk with a straight face. she is on shift - she is clocked in," another fan supported her.

"No Ice Spice slander around here. Watch your mouth," one fan remarked.
