*Ice Spice’s manager has defended her against accusations from former friend and rapper Cleotrapa, who alleged that Spice mistreated her during the tour.
The Jasmine Brand reports that in a 6-part TikTok series, Cleotrapa detailed why she ended their friendship, accusing Ice Spice of not paying her, making her handle her own luggage, and deliberately isolating her during Ice Spice’s Y2K! Tour.
Cleotrapa claimed she was misled about expenses, including having to cover her own food and hotel costs despite being invited on the tour.
Ice Spice’s manager James Rosemond Jr. took to X to respond to the allegations, writing: “An artist (and their team) needs to know what to do when these opportunities come their way. They need to know how to leverage it to advance their career. But some artists just don’t know how to come out with HITS so they crash out and go on rants.”
He continued, “This is what happens when an artist’s team dont manage their artists expectations when an opportunity comes in front of them. If you not prepared for an opportunity and your team isn’t properly advancing then that’s on them. Not on us offering the opportunity.”

Rosemond said, “Two artists can’t speak on logistics & business & agree on it same day w/o proper representation thoroughly talking through. Mgmt needed to properly advise their client & get ahead of any potential hiccups. I’m NOT allowing my client go out on the road without me advancing it.”
Rosemond also shared details of a conversation he had with Cleotrapa’s manager who said he “blames himself becuz he pushed his client to stay becuz it was a great opportunity…but he knows his client is 100% wrong,” Rosemond revealed.
He added, “The public bashing just means therapy is needed.”
