Rapper confirms she’s bisexual and playfully shoots her shot at host during interview on “Baby, this is Keke Palmer”
Ice Spice confirmed her bisexuality on Keke Palmer’s podcast and immediately added that Palmer is “my type.” The 26-second clip, posted by @msriricole, shows the rapper smiling and laughing as she makes the comment while Palmer reacts from across the studio.
The video clip reached 1.4 million views, capturing the exchange from an episode of Palmer’s Wondery podcast “Baby, this is Keke Palmer.” The clip has drawn reactions ranging from surprise to skepticism, with some viewers referencing Ice Spice’s prior public statements about her sexuality and others questioning the authenticity of the moment.
The Podcast Exchange
When the video began, it showed Keke Palmer in close-up, her short bright orange hair and textured pink top visible as she speaks. She asks Ice Spice about a previous interview: “So you sat down with Ebro and you were open about being bisexual. What was this, why was that something that you were like, let me go ahead and tell y’all? ‘Cause you didn’t have to tell us.”
The clip cuts to Ice Spice, who wears a pink off-shoulder top over a gingham-patterned corset and a diamond “Boss” necklace. She smiles broadly, laughing as she responds. She confirms her bisexuality and then delivers the line that has become the clip’s focus: “Yeah, Keke’s my type, guys. You heard it here!”
Her delivery is playful and lighthearted, with visible laughter and animated facial expressions. The exchange continues as Palmer responds, gesturing while holding papers in her lap. The tone throughout is conversational and comfortable rather than tense or confrontational.
Ice Spice’s Public History with Bisexuality
Ice Spice has publicly identified as bisexual for years. She has stated she recognized this aspect of her identity around age eight. Prior to the Keke Palmer podcast, she discussed it in interviews, including on E!, and has referenced attraction to women in social media posts and song lyrics.
One user referenced her lyrics: “If she’s bad I’ll let her seduce me,” from one of her songs. The line has been cited by fans as early evidence of her sexuality. She has also discussed her dating life in the public eye, including a past relationship with NFL player Sauce Gardner and comments about liking older men.
The clip from Palmer’s podcast represents a direct follow-up to her prior public affirmation of bisexuality. Palmer asks why she chose to speak openly about it, and Ice Spice’s response confirms her identity while adding the playful comment about Palmer.
The Cleotrapa Beef and Colorism Discourse
Some reactions to the clip have referenced the 2024 Cleotrapa controversy. Cleotrapa, a darker-skinned rapper who had been linked to Ice Spice’s circle, publicly accused Ice Spice of mistreatment, colorism, and treating her as a “token Black friend.”
Specific allegations included comments allegedly made by Ice Spice or her team about Cleotrapa’s skin tone or behavior. Ice Spice’s hairstylist publicly defended her against the claims. The situation generated significant online discussion, articles, and video breakdowns about colorism and intra-community dynamics.
One user connected the two: “How is KeKe her type and she was exposed for being a colorist by Cleotrappa? I guess it’s because KeKe is a multimillionaire and has power in the industry.” The comment suggests skepticism about Ice Spice’s sincerity given the prior allegations.
X Reacts to the Disclosure and Flirtation
On X, some users expressed surprise. “I did not see that coming,” one user wrote with a reaction video. Others referenced prior hints in Ice Spice’s lyrics and social media. “Why are people shocked? She’s talked about women in her tweets and songs,” one user wrote.
Skepticism appeared in several replies. “This seems so forced,” one user wrote. Another commented, “These hos don’t be gay, they just know it’s career suicide to say they aren’t.” The comments reflected broader debates about the authenticity of celebrity disclosures.
Some users noted the industry dynamics at play. “Ice spice smart because a light skin woman saying a darker skinned woman is not her type would’ve got her dragged,” one user wrote. The comment referenced the colorism discourse that has surrounded Ice Spice’s public image.
Broader cultural commentary appeared in several replies. One user wrote, “Almost every female teenager believes she’s bisexual now, this wasn’t a thing in the 90s or 00s.” Another commented, “Black celebrities have to promote homosexuality for some reason.” The comments reflected generational and cultural divides in how the disclosure was received.
Some users defended the authenticity or noted it as unsurprising given prior signals. One user wrote, “this bisexual […] is old […] news but she’s blatantly talking about it so good for her.” The response suggested that Ice Spice’s sexuality was not new information for those who had followed her career.
Reaction videos and GIFs appeared throughout the thread, with users expressing shock, laughter, or commentary.
What Else Happened in the Interview
“Baby, this is Keke Palmer” is Palmer’s interview-style podcast series featuring conversations with artists, actors, and cultural figures about personal experiences, career, and culture. The Ice Spice episode was released in September 2025, with the clip recirculating virally this morning.
The full interview covers her Bronx roots, music career including tracks like “Munch” and collaborations with Latto, and public dating experiences.
Keke Palmer’s interview style has been noted for creating comfortable spaces for guests to discuss personal topics. The direct question about Ice Spice’s bisexuality reflects this approach, allowing the rapper to address the topic in her own words.
The viral clip captures only a small portion of the broader conversation, which also includes Ice Spice reflecting on her career and public persona. The resurfacing of the clip has brought renewed attention to the episode.
Final Word
The resurfaced clip has become a flashpoint for conversations about authenticity, sexuality, and industry dynamics in entertainment. The debate reflects broader cultural tensions around how public figures discuss their identities and what motivates such disclosures.
Some view the moment as a genuine expression of Ice Spice’s identity, pointing to her prior statements and lyrics. Others question the sincerity of celebrity disclosures, particularly when they follow career or industry considerations.
While the video continues circulating, the conversation will likely remain divided. The moment has added another layer to Ice Spice’s public persona while also contributing to ongoing cultural discussions about sexuality, representation, and authenticity in entertainment.
