Ice Spice has checked off more boxes that point to her rapid success than most others in her position, and she is now all set to perform on Saturday Night Live.
On Wednesday (October 4), the iconic NBC comedy series posted their guests for the first two episodes of their upcoming season. The opening show of Season 49 will feature Pete Davidson as the host and Ice Spice as the musical act.

The opener is scheduled for Saturday (October 14) and will mark the 23-year-old Bronx rapper’s first appearance on the program.
Check out the announcement below:
The “Munch” rapper hasn’t had the best luck on stage of late, so hopefully her SNL performance goes according to plan. Earlier this month, she almost became a victim of third-degree burns during a show overseas.
The rap starlet was performing her hit single “Princess Diana” this past weekend in Sydney, Australia when she decided to hit her now-famous twerk dance. While executing her dance moves, though, pyro effects started to go off, which made her back up and yell out a cautious, “Whoa.”
Making light of the ordeal, she then decided to upload the potentially dangerous moment on Instagram, along with a carousel of other cheeky pictures from her performance.
“swipe to see pyro take me tf out,” she said in the caption.
Meanwhile, Ice Spice recently responded to allegations of her being an industry plant.

“A lot of people have thrown that in my face — like ‘Oh, I’ve never seen anything happen so quickly. She needs to be studied,’ or ‘She’s a plant,’” Ice Spice (real name Isis Naija Gaston) said in an interview with Variety.
She added: “I just let people believe whatever they want to believe, to be honest. I don’t really mind all the rumors. At first, I did, but now I’m at a point where I understand that just comes with this lifestyle.”
