Matty Healy has already faced a lot of backlash for the comments he previously made about Ice Spice back in February and now he’s finally responding to the controversy.
The 34-year-old musician, who is the frontman of the band The 1975, appeared on the podcast The Adam Friedland Show earlier this year to promote his band’s new album.
On the show, the hosts brought up how Ice Spice had mentioned she’s a big fan of The 1975 and they proceeded to call her a “chubby Chinese lady” and said she sounds like an “Inuit Space Girl.” Matty laughed along while the hosts continued to mock Chinese and Hawaiian accents.
During a concert in New Zealand in April, Matty initially apologized to Ice Spice. He said at the time, “I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you. Ice Spice, I’m sorry. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d–k. I love you, Ice Spice. I’m so sorry. I don’t want it to be misconstrued as mean.”
In recent weeks, Matty has been romantically linked to Taylor Swift, who just collaborated with Ice Spice on the “Karma” remix. The timing has brought the quotes into the spotlight again.
Now, Matty is opening up again in a new interview, in which he called people angry at the comments “deluded.”
