Princess Diana

## Music Video

"**Princess Diana**" is the fourth single and the second track and from Ice Spice's debut EP *Like..?*. It was released on January 20, 2023. The remix featuring Nicki Minaj was released on April 14, 2023.

Named after the late Princess of Wales, the track sees Ice Spice rapping about her new-found fame and her lifestyle following up to the new-found fame.

## Background

Ice Spice, a drill rapper from Bronx, New York, released the single "Munch (Feelin' U)" in August 2022. It went viral on social media and became her breakout song, surpassing 34 million worldwide streams in less than two months and reaching *Billboard*'s US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Its online success led to her signing with the record label 10K Projects and Capitol Records.

In November 2022, a memetic comparison of Ice Spice to Diana, Princess of Wales, gained traction on Twitter. More people on social media solidified the comparison upon seeing a video of her and American rapper Lil Tjay in which they handed Thanksgiving turkeys to people in the Bronx. Ice Spice gained the nickname "The People's Princess", a title by which Diana was known.

Later that month, Ice Spice announced via an interview with podcast Rap Caviar that her debut extended play (EP), *Like..?* was on the works. Its track list consisted of six songs; it featured "Munch (Feelin U)" alongside two succeeding singles and three songs yet to be released. One track is named "Princess Diana", a nod to the memes about Ice Spice.

And they hype that I'm up on them banners

Callin' my phone, but they know I don't answer (Why?)

In the hood I'm like Princess Diana (Grrah)

Bitches not takin' shit from me but notes

Wanna be me, so she do my emotes

And my name in her mouth so I bet she gon' choke (Bitch)

To her man, I'm the girl of his dreams

Thinkin' 'bout me when he brushin' his teeth

He keep textin', I leave him on seen

Hottest bitch out and they know what I mean (Know what I mean)

**[Chorus]**

Like, grrah, keep it a stack

Bitches move wock' 'cause they know I got bands (Damn)

Bitches slow, so I give 'em a pass

Lookin' at me like who bigger than she? (Who?)

I'm the one who they wishin' to be (Damn)

Takin' my time, 'cause I don't wanna bait

If you makin' your plate, then I already ate (Grrah)

I book a flight and go chill in Tulum

Turnin' heads when I walk in the room (Like)

I know he want me, his bitch is a lame and she make in a year what I spend on a chain (Spend on my chain, grrah)

Makin' it rain (Makin' it rain)

Doin' my thing (Like)

And I'm young, still gettin' money, my pockets is chubby, nothin' was the same (Huh)

Takin' ya boo (Takin' ya boo), makin' it move

Like flexin' on n\*ggas and bitches addictin', feenin' for me how they usually do (Usually do)

**[Chorus]**

Like, grrah, keep it a stack
