Ice Spice Hits the SUNY Purchase Courts

The Drill rapper grew up in the Bronx and attended high school at Sacred Heart in Yonkers and graduated in 2018. After graduating she attended SUNY Purchase and was a star on the court.

According to Wikipedia, Spice was a Defensive Specialist on the schools volleyball team.  The site adds in some stats too:

In seven matches, she had two kills and nine digs in the 2018 season.

However, her collegiate volleyball career was short lived. After the 2018 season Ice Spice hung up her volleyball uniform citing a grueling commute to and from the college. It looks like her rap career is already lasting longer than her volleyball career.

The lower Hudson Valley native was seen all night at the Super Bowl this year sitting right beside Taylor Swift in the Kelce family suite. Where you saw Taylor, you saw Ice Spice.
