Ice Spice has offered her thoughts on the resurfacing of photos from when she was still in high school.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, the Bronx rapper suggested that she was uncomfortable with the photos, which included her high school yearbook photos, being shared online. “It’s weird, because I was a minor in everything. In everything that be going viral, I was literally a kid,” she said. “Imagine seeing pictures of you as a kid, pictures that you forgot existed — you’re basically seeing it for the first time yourself, too, and you're a kid.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the 23-year-old revealed that the high school photos aren't the only peronal item of hers that appeared on line since since she became famous. “My social security number got leaked,” Ice revealed. “It’s locked now. It sucks for everybody because when I want to use it now, I gotta go and ask mad different people.”

Other topics she touched on included colorism comments she's faced, with some suggesting she wouldn't have gained so much success if she wasn't light-skinned. “I have seen those opinions,” Ice said. “I feel like that's not something personal to me. I feel like that's been the conversation for generations and forever, since the beginning of time.”
