To celebrate Halloween, rapper Ice Spice performed in a costume reminiscent of the iconic cartoon character Betty Boop.
The rapper wore a red dress and did her hair in a black bob.
According to Vibe, she then performed at the Powerhouse show from Power 105.1 in this costume.
Ice Spice Definitely Caused A Stir
Many folks didn’t take kindly to Ice Spice’s costume since its short hemline exposed her butt throughout her performance–forcing the rapper to continuously tug on her dress.
For instance, Nikki D used the performance to call out Hip-Hop’s current “prostitute era.”
“Oh come TF on!!! You mean to tell me, this is true talent.. the Female genre of hip hop today is the ‘prostitution era’, fight me!!”

Despite the negativity, Ice Spice has had a stellar year.
She released her limited edition Dunkin’ Donuts drink with a trailer featuring Hollywood star Ben Affleck.
“I’ve always been a Dunkin’ girl!” she said. “Collaborating with Dunkin’ and Ben Affleck on this spot was a dream. The drink has a fun twist, a little something in the name for my fans, too. I can’t wait for everyone to try it.”
The rapper also landed on Barack Obama’s exclusive summer playlist with her song “Princess Diana” featuring Nicki Minaj.
