Ice Spice Lands Role In Upcoming SpongeBob Film

Ice Spice is making waves in Hollywood with a big animated debut on the horizon. The Bronx-born rapper has officially joined the voice cast of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set to hit theaters this December. The announcement came via Deadline on June 9th, with Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon revealing the new additions to the project. Ice Spice will star alongside comedic heavyweights like Regina Hall, George Lopez, Sherry Cola, and Arturo Castro.

Not only will she lend her voice to the film, but she’ll also be contributing a brand-new original track to its soundtrack. Excited about the opportunity, she reacted to the news on her Instagram Story with a cheerful, “yay!!!” The moment feels especially personal for Spice, considering her 2022 single “Bikini Bottom”,inspired by the SpongeBob universe, was a standout from her debut EP Like…?, which reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200.

Meanwhile, the rapper continues to stir buzz in both the entertainment world and her personal life. Speculation around her relationship with NFL star Sauce Gardner continues, especially after a cozy mirror selfie of the two surfaced on her Instagram in April only to be quickly deleted. The two had already drawn attention after attending Adin Ross’ boxing match together and landing on the kiss cam, though neither has confirmed their relationship status.

On the music front, Ice Spice recently dropped a feature on KATSEYE’s “Gnarly” remix, marking her first release of 2025. She’s also stepping further into film, with a role in Spike Lee’s upcoming project Highest 2 Lowest, where she’ll appear alongside Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky.

From the Bronx streets to the SpongeBob universe, Ice Spice is keeping her momentum strong and expanding her brand in every direction.
