Overview
- The court scheduled Ice Spice to sit for a sworn deposition in Manhattan in September as part of TheeBellaBrand’s lawsuit and ordered depositions for two other witnesses.
- TheeBellaBrand sued last year alleging the rapper agreed to buy 25 custom wigs for about $20,000, failed to pay, and then disparaged the products on social media.
- The company seeks more than $400,000 for lost business and punitive damages, according to court filings.
- Ice Spice has denied the allegations and filed a motion to dismiss, but the judge’s scheduling of depositions and discovery shows the case is moving past early motions.
- The court set a discovery cutoff in January 2027 and scheduled settlement conferences for September and December, meaning the coming months will test whether the parties reach a deal or press toward trial while managing publicity and legal costs.
