Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout this Ice Spice gal and that there Super Bowl hoopla. Folks got their knickers in a twist over some kinda hand signs and a necklace, you hear? Super Bowl, they call it. Big ol’ football game, I reckon. Don’t know much about football myself, seems like a bunch of fellas runnin’ around and smashin’ into each other, but that ain’t the point.
This here Ice Spice, she’s a rapper, they say. Young gal, not even dry behind the ears yet. She showed up at this Super Bowl LVIII, all decked out, thanks to some folks called Opium, whatever that is. And wouldn’t you know it, some people started squawkin’ about her makin’ devil horns with her hands. Devil horns? Lord have mercy! Like we ain’t got enough troubles in this world without worryin’ ’bout such nonsense.
- First off, they say she was wearin’ this big ol’ cross.
- But not just any cross, mind you. An upside-down cross, they say.
- Some folks got all riled up, callin’ it a satanic symbol.
- Satanic, I tell ya! Like she’s worshipin’ the devil himself.
Now, I ain’t one for judgin’, but it all sounds like a load of hogwash to me. I seen pictures of that cross, and it looked kinda regular to me. Some say it’s an upside-down cross, others say it’s just a Greek cross, with them arms all the same length. Honest to goodness, I can’t tell the difference, and I reckon most folks can’t neither. But people, they love to gossip, don’t they? They’ll find somethin’ to complain about even if the sun is shinin’ and the birds are singin’.
Seems like this Ice Spice gal, she ain’t even into football. Not her “era,” they say. Whatever that means. Young folks these days with their fancy words. She just went to the game lookin’ all stylish, and folks started readin’ too much into it. Like she’s some kinda devil worshipper just ’cause she’s wearin’ a necklace. Heck, I wore a cross my whole life, and I ain’t never seen no devil.
This Super Bowl thing, it used to be called somethin’ else, you know? AFL-NFL somethin’ or other. They changed the name back in ’69, I think. Super Bowl III, they called it. First four of them games were played before things got all merged up. Don’t ask me what got merged, I just heard it on the radio. Anyway, point is, this Super Bowl, it’s a big deal. Lots of folks watchin’, lots of money changin’ hands, and lots of opportunities for people to get their feathers ruffled.
And this year, it was Ice Spice’s turn to get folks talkin’. Ice Spice Super Bowl hand signs, they say. Ice Spice Super Bowl cross, they say. Makes you wonder if these folks got nothin’ better to do than stare at a young gal’s necklace and make up stories. It’s just a piece of jewelry, for cryin’ out loud! Didn’t she go there with some other group too? Like them Opium people or whoever they are. Maybe they told her what to wear, who knows?
I heard some folks were watchin’ the game just to see some other gal, Taylor somethin’ or other. She was cheerin’ on some fella, Kelce, I think his name was. See? People find all sorts of reasons to watch the Super Bowl. Some watch for the football, some watch for the singers, some watch for the gossip. And this year, it seems like a whole bunch of folks were watchin’ just to see what kinda trouble they could stir up about Ice Spice.
Well, I say let the gal be. She ain’t hurtin’ nobody. If she wants to wear a cross, upside down or right side up, that’s her business. And if she wants to make some funny hand signs, well, that’s her right too. We got bigger things to worry about in this world than what some rapper wears to a football game. Conspiracy theorists they call ‘em, the ones makin’ all this fuss. Always lookin’ for somethin’ to be upset about. Lord, give me strength.
So, that’s the way I see it. This whole Ice Spice Super Bowl cross thing, it’s just a bunch of nothin’. Folks makin’ a mountain out of a molehill, if you ask me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. They’re more entertainin’ than this Super Bowl drama, I tell ya.
