Ice Spice Set for Deposition in Wig Dispute Case

Ice Spice is preparing for a legal deposition this fall as part of a contentious dispute with a wig manufacturer.

The 26-year-old artist, whose legal name is Isis Gaston, has been ordered to sit for questioning in Manhattan come September in connection with a lawsuit brought by Thee Bella Brand LLC. The deposition marks a significant development in the ongoing case.

The company initiated the legal action in 2025, alleging that Ice Spice committed to purchasing more than 25 custom wigs for approximately $20,000 but subsequently failed to complete the transaction. Beyond the unpaid merchandise, Thee Bella Brand LLC maintains that the rapper publicly criticized the company online, which they contend led to over $400,000 in lost business opportunities and warrants punitive damages.

Ice Spice has rejected these claims. The case is now advancing through the legal process, with two additional witnesses scheduled to provide testimony alongside the artist.

The matter remains in its discovery phase, with a January 2027 deadline established for all evidence gathering. A settlement conference is also scheduled, offering the possibility that the dispute could be resolved without proceeding to trial.

The deposition comes as Ice Spice continues to navigate various public matters, including recent commentary on a viral incident and other personal developments.
