Ice Spice is diving into Hollywood with her animated film debut, joining the voice cast of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set to premiere in theaters this December. The news was confirmed by Deadline on June 9th, with Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon announcing new additions to the much-anticipated movie.
The Bronx-born rapper will voice a character alongside a star-studded cast that includes Regina Hall, George Lopez, Sherry Cola, and Arturo Castro.
From “Bikini Bottom” to the Big Screen
This project holds a special place for Ice Spice, whose 2022 breakout hit “Bikini Bottom” was inspired by the iconic SpongeBob universe. That track became a standout on her debut EP Like…?, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200.
Adding even more excitement to the announcement, Ice Spice will also contribute a brand-new original track to the movie’s official soundtrack. She celebrated the news on Instagram with a simple but excited: “yay!!!”
Hollywood Hustle: New Film Projects & Music Releases
Beyond her animated film debut, Ice Spice continues to build a presence in both music and film. She recently appeared on KATSEYE’s “Gnarly (Remix),” marking her first release of 2025. She’s also set to co-star in Spike Lee’s upcoming movie Highest 2 Lowest alongside acting legends Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, further establishing her versatility as an entertainer.
Relationship Rumors: Ice Spice & Sauce Gardner
While her career continues to ascend, so does curiosity about her personal life. Ice Spice sparked dating rumors earlier this year when she posted—then swiftly deleted—a cozy mirror selfie with NFL star Sauce Gardner. The pair had already been spotted together on the kiss cam at Adin Ross’ boxing match, fueling speculation, though neither has confirmed their relationship publicly.
From Rap Royalty to Hollywood Starlet
With her animated film debut, new music releases, and high-profile acting roles, Ice Spice is proving she’s not just a viral sensation—but a long-term star in the making. Whether she’s rapping about Bikini Bottom or voicing characters in it, one thing’s for sure: Ice Spice is here to stay.
