“We’ve been friends since 'Munch' came out, honestly," the rap star said, noting that her relationship with Central Cee, 26, is strictly platonic. "We’re just twins.”

The rumor mill started up in early July after Ice and Central Cee were spotted hanging out and shopping in London, per videos and photos posted on social media. Days later, on July 11, the pair released their collaborative track "Did It First" (which appears on Ice's debut album, Y2K!), along with a music video starring the two as cozied-up lovers.

"If he's cheatin', I'm doin' him worse / No Uno, I hit the reverse / I ain't trippin', the grip in my purse / I don't care 'cause he did it first," Ice raps on the track.

In Central Cee's verse, he also raps about cheating behind a partner's back, saying, "I'm selective with who I get with / Gyal on my phone tryna see who I slept with / She investigating, detective / Lucky for me, I deleted the message."

The rapper pair performed their joint single for the first time live on July 12 at the Wireless Festival in London as part of Ice's Y2K! World Tour, which kicked off in Denmark on July 4.

While Ice's dating life has only yielded rumors, Central Cee was last in a relationship with British TikToker Madeline Argy. According to Complex, the two began dating in 2022 but parted ways last year.

"Girls, you told me to stand up, so I'm standing up," she began in a video. "Let me tell you how I did not know that any of this was going to f---ing happen." Argy goes on to detail how "Pookie" (referring to Central Cee) shared his "Did It First" verse with her months before it dropped and seemingly "snitched" on his alleged cheating.

"I'm like, 'What the f---? Not only did you just snitch on yourself that you're cheating, but you just told me exactly how. Give me your f---ing phone,'" she continued.

Argy then revealed that Central Cee told her he wanted to hire an influencer to promote one of his old songs and sent his "personal car" to pick her up. However, she claimed to not know the plan would conjure up a dating rumor between him and Ice.

"I was with you guys knees-deep in that comments section asking if we're still together," Argy concluded in her video. "I tried to have a conversation with him about it, and all he kept saying was, 'Alright'... At this point, I'm starting to realize, oh, this is why girls don't date rappers."
