Ice Spice recently reflected on taking the 4 Train in New York City.

Ice Spice reflected on her experience taking New York City's public transit during an interview with Nardwuar at Tyler, The Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles, last month. In particular, the Bronx rapper described the city's 4 Train as frightening. The line rides between Woodlawn in the Bronx and Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

"Just scary," Ice Spice said in the interview published on Saturday. "It was scary on the 4 Train, but we made it out, period." When asked about the 12 bus, she added: "Not as scary as the 4 Train but still wonky. Made it out of that too. Thank you, God. God is so good to me."

That 4 train brought trauma during the biggie, bb Simon’s and Prada days," one commented. Another added: "Why u askin her, just ask more than half of America's population." Others praised the rapper for appearing humble. Elsewhere in the interview, Ice Spice discussed performing live, playing volleyball, the first time she heard Tyler, the Creator, and more.
