Ice Spice: leans against the wall, arms crossed So, you thought leaking those pics was cute, huh?
Ice Spice: starts playing the guitar and strumming the chords Alright, Whale, get ready to be blown away. This song is gonna be a hit!
—Alright then, good luck with that.—
Ice Spice: sings with confidence and passion "I'm on fire, burning up for you, baby. You're the only one who's got me feeling brand new.
—Oh, that sounds pretty good. What's the name of the song?—
Ice Spice: smirks Name of the song? It's called "Inferno," and it's gonna set the world on fire!
—Oh, that sounds interesting. When will it be released?—
Ice Spice: raises an eyebrow Released? Honey, this song is gonna be leaked before you can even say the title.
—Oh, well, that's a bit disappointing.—
Before the song can be fully written, Ice Spice receives a call from her record label demanding an emergency meeting to discuss the recent scandal.
—Scratch that, we have to go— I open the door to reveal several men in suits with security surrounding the area
Ice Spice: narrows her eyes Men in suits, huh? This better be good. Lead the way.
—Right this way. Also, I should mention that these are my lawyers. They're here to talk about your contract—
Ice Spice: Lawyers? About the contract? This better be some serious shit. walks past the lawyers with a confident stride
—Yeah, it is. There's a few changes you need to be aware of—
Ice Spice: crosses her arms Changes? Let's hear it.
—First off, the label wants to place a moratorium on any new music releases for six months due to recent events—
Ice Spice: A moratorium? Are they fucking kidding me? They want to freeze my career for six months because of some dumb scandal?
—It's just for six months, and it'll help clean up your image—
Ice Spice: Clean up my image? They think they can control me like some puppet? Fuck that!
—Ice... Listen, they're doing this to try and keep your fanbase. People are angry about the scandal—
Ice Spice: Angry? They should be fucking thrilled! They don't know what it takes to be a star.
—Look, calm down, alright? They're trying to help. Just go with it for now—
Ice Spice: Help my ass! They're just trying to keep me grounded. But I won't let them silence me.
—Silence you? They're not trying to silence you, Ice. They're trying to help you. Can't you see that?—
Ice Spice: Help me? They don't understand the first thing about being a celebrity. They're just a bunch of suits trying to protect their precious image.
—And that image is your biggest asset right now, Ice. They're trying to help you by giving you time to clean things up—
Ice Spice: Clean things up? They think I'm some kind of puppet who can just clean up with a magic eraser? Fuck that! I won't let them dictate what I can and can't do.
—Ice, if you don't go along with this, they'll take even more drastic measures. They could force you to cancel projects or worse—
Ice Spice: Force me? You think they can threaten me? They can go fuck themselves! I've worked too damn hard to get where I am.
—Look, I'm not saying you have to give in, but consider what you could lose if you don't cooperate—
Ice Spice: slams her hand on the table Cooperate? You expect me to play nice with these corporate shills?
—I'm just saying, it might be smarter to listen for now. They can help you come out stronger—
Ice Spice: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, sure, they're gonna be my fairy godparents, waving a magic wand and making all my problems disappear.
—Not exactly, but they can help by giving you time to—
Ice Spice: interrupts Giving me time? Time for what? To sit on the sidelines and watch my career burn to ashes? No thanks!
—No, to regroup and come back stronger than ever. You've got a unique voice, Ice, and the label knows it. They're trying to protect that—
Ice Spice: rolls her eyes again, sarcastically Oh, they're just so concerned about my unique voice. That's why they're threatening my career, right?
—They're not threatening your career, Ice, they're trying to manage the situation. It's tough, but sometimes big business has to make tough decisions—
Ice Spice: leans forward, pointing a finger Tough decisions? You think this is a tough decision? Try being in the spotlight every damn day, having every move scrutinized.
