Ice Spice made her voice acting debut in the SpongeBob sequel while releasing “Big Guy,” a new song written for the film’s soundtrack.
Ice Spice stepped into the animated world with her first voice acting role in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants while also releasing a high-energy single titled “Big Guy” created for the film’s soundtrack.
The Bronx rapper delivered her signature punchy flow on the upbeat track, aligning perfectly with the movie’s playful tone.
“Off the wake up, I’m feeling my best/ Big things ’bout to happen today,” she raps. “I bend over, I do my lil’ stretch/ I woke up feeling a brand new way/ Ain’t a jellyfish, but I’m the catch.”
The dual release marks a new chapter in the 25-year-old’s creative journey, expanding her brand beyond rap into film and voiceover work.
Ice Spice joins a star-studded cast that includes Regina Hall, Sherry Cola, Arturo Castro and George Lopez, all confirmed in June 2025 as new additions to the long-running Nickelodeon franchise.
“Being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full circle moment for me,” Ice Spice said in a statement. “It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine.”
The song follows her recent releases “Pretty Privilege” and “Baddie Baddie,” the latter being her first solo drop since the deluxe edition of her album Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl in December.
“Baddie Baddie,” produced by longtime collaborator RiotUSA, samples M.I.A.’s 2012 hit “Bad Girls” and was accompanied by a video directed by Evil Twins.
Outside of music, Ice Spice also made her big-screen debut this year in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, sharing scenes with Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky.
She also teamed up with Latto on the track “Gyatt,” which symbolically closed the chapter on their previous tension.
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is set to hit theaters December 17.
