Speaking to Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie about working with Cench, Ice Spice explained what she loved about working with UK artists.

"It’s just different," she said, "I love the accents and just the energy overall – I just love the UK and people from here, I don’t know.”

When Robert asked what the difference was between working with PinkPantheress VS Central Cee, she added: "Cench is definitely like super comfortable just recording in studio in front of like whoever. So, I’ve actually seen him record, I don’t think I’ve ever seen PinkPantheress record.”

Earlier this month, the pair took to the stage at Wireless Festival as Central Cee surprised the crowd with a first-ever live performance of 'Did It First' with the American rap star.

Speaking on the experience at the London festival, Ice Spice described it as "so much fun", adding: "Oh my God, it was kind of a mess because we were just like running a little late. You know, London traffic is almost as bad as New York traffic.

"But we still made it work, we made it happen. You know, the set had to be cut a little short, but it was better than last year. Last year I was so late I only got to do like four songs. This year actually had some time, yeah.”
