A hater, Illy Ilz, attempted to mock Ice Spice claiming she has Down Syndrome

A hater, Illy Ilz, attempted to mock Ice Spice claiming she has Down Syndrome. 

The rapper responded by saying she is not bothered by the comparison: 

“u thought u ate, but my sis cute asf😍.”

But with her career going from strength to strength, Ice Spice is encountering online trolls, with one recently posting a photo showing half of the rapper’s face next to the face of a young woman with Down’s syndrome, appearing to suggest Ice Spice has the genetic disorder.

The tweet managed to get the attention of Ice Spice herself who sided with the Down’s syndrome community with her response.

In a quote tweet, she said: “U thought u ate but my sis cute asf,” with a heart-eye emoji at the end.

The support for the rap star poured in as fans and followers expressed their admiration for her response. Many took to the comments to rally behind both women and condemn the unnecessary hate.

Twitter sensation @kirawontmis joined in:

“You know you made it when you have people hating for no reason.”

The young rap star graciously thanked them for their support, showcasing a remarking crossover between hip-hop and Twitter culture.
