An Artist like Ice Spice has 0 business showing up to the Nickelodeon’s Kids choice awards

r/

Like the fact that any kid under 15 knows who ice spice is, is so sad bro like how yuck that young children are exposed to a lifestyle like hers. Drugs and sex it’s disgusting.

    you do realize kids now have access to any form of entertainment they want, right? Ice spice is tame. you just don’t like her, which is ok.

    I hope this isn’t unpopular.

    You would shrivel up and die if I told you the music I was listening to at age 13 😂

    I don’t think it’s crazy that a 13-year-old knows who ice spice is, that’s whatever to me.
    But yeah I’m not sure Nickelodeon is a necessary endeavor for her, that is kinda weird.

    Right because drugs and sex is something that never existed in popular music before Ice Spice.

    I mean as long as she’s not bussin it down on stage or preforming or anything it seems like a non issue for her to show up lol.

    I don’t know who that is.

    Why is she on kids choice awards? 😭 that just seems strange to me given her choice in music making. Usually its only artists with less lewd and pop songs like Ariana Grande or Selena Gomez lol- artists with songs that can be played for children. Idk, unless rappers have always been placed in kids choice awards. I really dont see a reason to care so much though lol, i dont care for her music or those awards at all

  10. beelovedone Avatar

    I mean it’s fine to dislike an artist, but how is her attendance any different from MGK or Lil Baby attending and performing? Tyla hosted the awards this year and I don’t think I’ve seen that girl in more than 1 yard of fabric at any given time, and one of her biggest hits is a song about sex.

    I agree she shouldn’t be at the Kids Choice awards. But acting surprise that kids under 15 know who ice spice??? Every time I see statements like this I wonder what world people live in.

    Do you know the music we were listening to back as young teenagers?? Drugs and Sex being in popular music ain’t new lol

    I’ll go tell NWA in the 90s they should in fact, not fuck the police. Thanks for this PSA about the innocence of our children!

    Were you also upset when Kesha performed in 2013? She was very popular with young teens at the time and sang about similar topics in a different genre

  14. thxforfishandstuff Avatar

    So anyone under the age of 60 isn’t allowed to listen to artists like Pink Floyd or led Zeppelin?

    And heaven forbid someone slap on some Beethoven or Mozart!

    Kids have always loved inappropriate music, I remember a bunch of kids listening to snoop’s Doggystyle back in the 90s. Nothing new

  16. YesterdayTemporary18 Avatar

    Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribiani), Justin Timberlake, Mike Myers (Austin Powers).

    All major in the Kids Choice Awards of the early 2000s, all involved in sexually explicit content. This is nothing new, it’d be neat if people stopped acting like sex/drugs were literally never appealing to younger audiences

  17. No-Atmosphere-2528 Avatar

    I think it’s far weirder you’re watching them than she’s performing at them. How old are you?

  18. Kimmranu Avatar

    Meanwhile in the 90’s we had Lil Kim and Pamela Anderson on everything, but yeah Ice Spice is the worst lol

  19. JohnnyKarateX Avatar

    I was thinking about watching Wrestling during the 90s and how we probably shouldn’t have been. It’s a rite of passage for kids to watch inappropriate stuff.

  20. de9ausser Avatar

    I mean, I’m not a fan of Ice Spice by any means, but I was listening to Eminem at 11, so I don’t have much to argue. That said, I don’t think Em was ever on Nickelodeon?

  21. zdav1s Avatar

    Dude they gave the weeknd a kids choice award for his song can’t feel my face, which sings about cocaine lmao I don’t think they care

  22. migustoes2 Avatar

    Katy Perry was literally at the Kids Choice Awards the same year she released Teenage Dream lmao

  23. ASAPFergs Avatar

    Ice Spice is mild compared to lots of other rappers who kids have followed over the decades, odd to take issue with her specifically

  24. lurkingwithjoy Avatar

    She was in fortnite so I imagine she has some kind of younger following.

  25. Mr_PhotoSh0p Avatar

    No kid under 15 has ever heard of drugs or sex

    you serious? lol

    When I was a kid Madonna would show up for her friend and host Rosie-O. This was after Erotica.

  27. YounicornSeeMen Avatar

    Jack Black hosted the Kids Choice Awards for like 5 years. The man who wrote “Double Team” and sang about doing cock pushups was still the best man for the job lol this is nothing new. People can compartmentalize.

  28. isntreal1948backatit Avatar

    I listened to Eminem when I was 12, it’s fine

    Pissed my parents off then too lol I still remember my mom saying “you listen to shit music”

  29. OrangeClyde Avatar

    Tyla is hosting. Her one hit wonder song is about sex and getting wet lol

  30. Borgalicious Avatar

    I didn’t not know who ice spice is but the shit I was listening to and watching at 15 were as obscene as anything can be

  31. Logical-Cap-5304 Avatar

    Sabrina Carpenter won awards when her music is also very explicit, so it’s not just about Ice Spice.

  32. GTS_84 Avatar

    15 year old boys probably have favourite porn stars and a decent percentage of 15 year olds have smoked weed. I think you are a little naive about the development of children.

  33. iloveapplebees Avatar

    This happens every single generation bsfr I’m sure parents in the 50’s were saying that about Elvis, parents in the 60’s said that about the beatles, parents in the 70’s said that about Alice Cooper, parents in the 80’s said that about Michael Jackson, parents in the 90’s said that about Red Hot Chili Peppers, parents in the 2000’s said that about Britney Spears, parents in the 2010’s said that about Miley Cyrus.

    My point is that the new generation will always be wanting to listen to what the adults say is ‘Too much’ for them. Ice Spice, Sabrina Carpenter, Addison Rae, Tate McRae, PinkPantherss all sing about kinky fucking, and getting their hearts broken into a million pieces and yet they are the most popular amongst gen Alpha/Z.

    Also let’s be realistic here. They aren’t going to have someone like Miss Rachel or Blippy headlining for current kids/teenagers.

    Last thing: These awards get booked based on availability and budget. Someone in these comments said ‘Why can’t Ariana Grande do it?’ She is much more mainstream now, constantly booked I’m sure, and her management probably has her only accept bookings like that based on X amount of money that the Kids Choice Awards isn’t willing to shell out. Ice Spice is A.) Popular B.) Was available and C.) Was willing to do it for x budget

    You know your getting old for Nickelodeon KCA when they have a “favorite male/female creator” award and when you don’t know who half of the nominations are.

    Do you feel the same way about Jelly Roll being there?

  36. Realistic-Reading-60 Avatar

    Totally kids probably don’t ever hear about sex prior to age 15

  37. CrossXFir3 Avatar

    I’m pretty sure they played Eminem on Saturday morning cartoon channels in the 90s.

    I’m 42. Never heard of Ice Spice. Heard of Baby, Ginger, Posh, Scary and Sporty.

  39. Ok_Net4562 Avatar

    When i was 14 my favourite artists were 2pac, p.diddy (dont @me) , busta rhymes, metallica and limp bizkit.
    I dont think you give 15 year olds enough credit for musical maturity

    This should not be an unpopular opinion at all, let kids be kids.

  42. Some-Elk-3470 Avatar

    wasn’t like Lil Kim an attendee at KCA? I can’t remember. not saying it’s right – but ice wouldn’t be the first ratchet in attendance (respectfully).

    also let’s blame the parents for letting kids listen to ice spice

    She’s in the new SpongeBob movie

  44. greenrangerguy Avatar

    I’m a 40 yo man and the reason I know of her is she was sitting with Taylor Swift at an American football game. It’s not impossible younger people also know her from something similar.

  45. Optimal-Bag-5918 Avatar

    I don’t think your opinion is wrong. While I agree with others that it’s not entirely unreasonable for children to know who she is, I also agree with you—she doesn’t belong in children’s spaces.
    Just my take: she’s tacky, gross, and not talented. I honestly hope she fades into irrelevance soon.

  46. JaysonTatecum Avatar

    15 year olds are having sex, why is it an issue if a song talks about it?

  47. ztruk Avatar

    Agree, but a different angle: 99% of popular music today is pure trash. As are the personalities who produce it. Nick gotta have somebody appear rght? So Viacom or Warner or whoever owns nick doesnt give a fuck abou tthe kids. At least when I was 13 in the 80s the oversexed and violent trash that I absorbed was backed with some actual talent, and personality.

    And yes, to your point, most of the oversexed and violent trash that i love(d) wasn’t broadcast on network TV. you had to really seek it out

    Do you also shout Bible verses at women who dare to show their ankles in public?

  51. alliwantedwasajetski Avatar

    Young people have become so puritanical that I expect a completely serious post complaining about women showing off their ankles any day now.

  52. Atrium41 Avatar

    Bro, my parents were very restrictive of certain adult themed content. Didn’t stop me from seeing the South Park movie (based and meta), and 9 year old me floored them when I asked what a clitoris was.

    South Park did more for my Sex Ed than our hobunk schools.

    Anyways, pruuuuuuuuude.

  53. Sto_Nerd Avatar

    Blink-182 have been at the Kids Choice Awards on multiple occasions, and they have songs about fucking dogs and grandpa’s. The kids listening to Ice Spice will survive lol.

  54. Supermanomegazero Avatar

    They put her on fortnite lmfao

  55. unkellGRGA Avatar

    Is it a little weird of Nickelodeon to have her at Kids Choice Awards ? Maybe sure

    But acting like it’s a moral death knell that kids know who she is seems rather ridiculous. I and most of my friends were watching Family Guy and South Park rerurns endlessly on TV at the approx age of 8-12 and think most of us turned out semi okay.

  56. Competitive-Host3266 Avatar

    Why aren’t incels self aware? This opinion is rooted in prejudice and misogyny.

  57. Ballamookieofficial Avatar

    She makes songs about people being farts, that’s pretty on brand

  58. InfidelZombie Avatar

    I’ve never heard of an Ice Spice but from the name I can assume they make little kids’ music anyway.

  59. bubbasaurusREX Avatar

    Yes she looks like a Muppet that walked into a machine that turns you into a human. But she was also in Fortnite so that’s likely why

    Damn. I had forgotten she existed

    Fuck you for reminding me

    Remember when The Weeknd won a kids choice award for “I can’t feel my face?”

    Not surprised. Don’t you remember when a ditty about doing so much cocaine your face went numb was nominated for a Kids Choice Award?

    Sabrina Carpenter won an award somehow? Her songs are kid-friendly??

  64. hello_im_al Avatar

    You clearly don’t remember when kids used to listen to bands like Korn of all fucking people

    Which of her songs mention drugs?

    i bet teenage boys love how much she sings about her poop /s

  68. permanentimagination Avatar

    Her music is fucking awful is the bigger problem. And when people sexualise her it makes me sick. Looks like a character in a mucinex add.

    I agree on the nickelodeon,  but I was listening to Eminem at 13.

    Ice Spice is in Fortnite, 5 year olds know who she is lol.

    > Drugs and sex it’s disgusting

    You sound like you’re either 5 yourself, or possibly 70.

  71. South-Impression3107 Avatar

    Either you’re a child and your opinion doesn’t matter, or you’re an adult worrying about a children’s award show so your opinion doesn’t matter.

    It’s an unpopular opinion simply because it’s not something adults should care about

  72. KeybladeBrett Avatar

    They teach you about saying no to drugs in what elementary school and then you learn about sex when you’re like 11-12 (should be earlier imo, kids should know what to expect with puberty and not be blindsided)

  73. Intelligenttrees32 Avatar

    I agree with half of this. Ice spice should be no where near Nickelodeon but my god you think children 11 and up aren’t listening to explicit music? Cmon now.

  74. rapshepard Avatar

    I grew up on All That and they had plenty of musical guests whose main demo wasn’t kids. The reality is kids of all ages hear the radio which is why its censored and they have access to music. Most kids that aren’t home schooled hear popular music even if it isn’t age appropriate.

  75. slizbiz Avatar

    Not sure why the Nickelodeon executives would sign off on this. She doesn’t have attractive feet.

  78. sedatehate Avatar

    You could say that about pretty much all popular rap/hip hop artists if you’re trying to give kids real role models.

  79. SauceKingHS Avatar

    Absolutely hard agree. These artists don’t care if they pervert, corrupt, or negatively influence the youth if it means they can make more dollars. It’s sickening.

  80. LichKingDan Avatar

    Those kids have already heard her music, drank her Dunkin drink, and watched her on a kai cent stream. Those kids are not nearly as innocent as you think, especially over the age of like 12.

    It’s definitely not insane that a kid under 15 is aware that a popular rapper exists, the fuck?

    Speak for yourself. Drugs & sex are kosher in my book.

    The KCA gave the Weeknd an award for a song about coke lol

    You think it’s weird that teenagers know who rappers are? Okay weirdo..

  87. wingeddarkling Avatar

    A 13 year old can still google ice spice and watch her videos. 13 year old me used to read all sorts of wattpad books. You can’t stop a teenager from doing shit they want. It’s a normal part of growing up. Just because an artist came to a kid’s choice awards doesn’t make one kid suddenly be interested in the things they do

  88. andrew6197 Avatar

    I’m going to assume you grew up in the 90-2000’s. Bro y’all had lil Wayne rapping about the EXACT same shit and had him on blast. Get this holier than thou mentality about music tf out of here. This is an unpopular opinion because it belongs in the trash.
