Rapper Ice Spice is eager to move past Matty Healy s disparaging commentary about her ethnicity and appearance once and for all.

Healy, who is the frontman of the British pop band The 1975, was hit with backlash after appearing on The Adam Friedland Show podcast in January and seemingly encouraging Friedland and his co-host Nick Mullen to make racist remarks about Ice Spice.

The singer-songwriter called Ice Spice dumb, and could be heard laughing as the hosts referred to the rapper as Inuit Spice Girl and this chubby Chinese lady, and mimicked her with exaggerated Chinese and Hawaiian accents.

Yeah, thats what Ice Spice is like, Healy also reportedly said in the interview, which has since been removed from streaming services. In April, he offered a public apology while performing with his band in New Zealand.
