Rising star Ice Spice, who gained widespread recognition as an opening act during her friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, found herself in an altercation at a Hollywood McDonald’s on Wednesday.

While seated in a booth with a female companion, Ice Spice was approached by an enthusiastic fan named Vayah who eagerly rushed to their table.

According to footage acquired by TMZ, Vayah made a gesture suggesting she wanted Ice Spice’s friend to scoot over, seemingly intending to join them.

What ensued was a tense exchange between Vayah and Ice Spice, with the artist pointing towards the door, indicating perhaps it was time for Vayah to leave.

The situation escalated when Vayah struck Ice Spice in the face and continued to attack her, leading to chaos in the restaurant.

Video footage from the Daily Mail captured the scuffle spilling outside, where Ice Spice was seen being thrown to the ground.

When Vayah first struck Ice Spice inside the McDonald’s, the two women started taking swings until a man yanked Vayah away from the melee. 

He pulled Vayah towards the exit, but Ice Spice was in hot pursuit, leaping over the tabletops towards them as her friend followed on the floor.

At the door of the McDonald’s, Ice Spice’s friend apparently tried to get between her and Vayah, but a blow from the latter sent her careening into a table.

The friend walked away as a group of people at the door tried to keep Ice Spice and Vayah apart, with cries of: ‘Calm down!’ heard in a male voice on video.

It appeared that Vayah’s associates were able to get her out of the McDonald’s as Ice Spice stayed inside with her own friend, briefly ending the fight.

Ice Spice picked up a phone lying on the tiles and walked back to her booth, where she talked to a male McDonald’s customer who had witnessed the scrap.

The phone that Ice Spice had picked up was apparently not hers, so the fracas resumed when she walked to the door of the McDonald’s and – rather than returning it to the owner’s hands – hurled it outside.

Someone apparently asked her why she had thrown the phone and she replied: ‘Cause f*** y’all, that’s why. F*** you and that b****.’

A fierce row broke out between Ice Spice and the man who had pulled Vayah away from the McDonald’s booth at the beginning of the imbroglio

As other people tried to keep them apart, Ice Spice and the man started screaming at each other and she bellowed: ‘Or your mama, let me fight her!’

The argument continued as Ice Spice and her friend emerged from the restaurant, where the Princess Diana hitmaker launched into a shouting match with one of the men in Vayah’s group, in footage obtained by the Daily Mail.

When someone urged Ice Spice to ‘relax,’ she snapped: ‘Why would I relax when she’s touching me?’ and then repeatedly demanded: ‘Where is she?’

She taunted him at the top of her voice: ‘Let me fight a b****! Why would you wanna fight me? Are you a b****? You wanna fight a b****? Why would you fight me, b****? You 120lb b****, let’s get at it then! Let’s get at it then!’

At some point later on, Vayah and her group were in the middle of the street along with Ice Spice and her friend, and the shouting continued.

The exchange escalated to into a physical fight between the two women yet again, with Vayah knocking Ice Spice to the ground.

‘this wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s,’ she wrote while including the previously published surveillance footage.

Vayah later told her side of the story in an interview, saying she approached Ice Spice and her friend and began complimenting them, only to receive a ‘rude’ response.

When Ice Spice told her to go away, Vayah took her to task for being ‘disrespectful,’ ‘yelling at me’ and supposedly making her request impolitely.

‘So she kept going on, then she calls me a b****, so after she calls me a b****, I hit her,’ Vayah explained in an interview with TMZ.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, has issued a statement declaring that the ‘unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly.’

Turning his attention to the McDonald’s, Cohen added: ‘We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.’
