Taylor Swift announces collaboration with Ice Spice after her boyfriend was rumored to have laughed at racist comments about the rapper

Taylor Swift announced Wednesday that rapper Ice Spice will appear on a new version of “Karma,” one of the songs from her latest album, “Midnights.” The announcement comes in the middle of fans criticizing Swift for allegedly dating singer Matty Healy of the band The 1975, whose history of offensive comments and actions includes laughs along with racist jokes about Ice Spice.

In January, Healy appeared on an episode of “The Adam Friedland Show” podcast in which Friedland and co-host Nick Mullen made racist comments about Ice Spice, referring to her as “Inuit Spice Girl” and “this chubby Chinese lady.” Healy laughed as the two co-hosts continued to make fun of the Chinese and Hawaiian accents.

The podcast was pulled from Spotify and Apple. In April, Healy apologized to Ice Spice during one of her concerts in Auckland, New Zealand.

“I just feel a little bad, and I’m a little sorry if I’ve offended you,” Healy said. according to Rolling Stone. “Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because it bothers me that my joke was misinterpreted. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a jerk. I love you ice spice. Very sorry.”

Ice Spice never responded to Healy, but on Wednesday, the rapper tweeted about her collaboration with Swift, calling her “the sweetest person ever.”

In early April, the sun reported that Swift and Healy were dating, and Healy was later seen supporting Swift during various stops on her current stadium tour.

Fast told a crowd in Massachusetts last week that she “had never been so happy in my life, in all aspects of my life. And I just want to thank you for being a part of that.”
