Ice Spice released the 'Baddie Baddie' music video, trading orange locks for varying pink hairstyles and blending fashion, fun and ferocity. The two-minute video features Olympian Sunisa Lee and supermodel Anok Yai and was co-directed by The Evil Twins and Ice Spice. Quick scenes mix photo stills, fashion-week footage, screaming fans and improvised choreography with striking struts. Visuals range from cat-walking Bronx streets in a Victorian corset with exposed rear to twerking in a club, portraying a confident 'baddie.' Lyrics and interviews emphasize self-assurance, refusal to be used, Bronx representation, and Ice Spice's Nigerian and Dominican Bronx upbringing.
"Featuring Olympian gold medalist Sunisa Lee and supermodel Anok Yai, the two-minute video - co-directed by directing duo, The Evil Twins (George and Frederick Buford) and Ice Spice herself - is made up of quick scenes that combine photo stills, real-life footage of fashion week and screaming fans and what seems to be improvised, face-giving-booty-shaking-tongue-wagging choreography with powerful struts. From cat-walking down the streets of the Bronx in a Victorian looking corset with rear-end voluptuous and exposed,"
"to twerking in the club, the video captures a "baddie" in both respects. "She got that New York roughness, but still got that sexiness and femininity," said Clifton, a security guard at KIPP NYC College Prep High School on 149 th Street. "She's beautiful. She represents the Bronx, you know what I mean? She gives out Bronx lingo," echoed Tyson, Clifton's colleague."
