Central Cee and Ice Spice‘s dating rumors have fans raising their eyebrows — including the brows of the British rapper’s on-and-off girlfriend, Madeline Argy! So, who’s dating who? And did Madeline and Central Cee break up for good?
Keep reading for everything we know about the drama.
Are Central Cee and Ice Spice Dating?
In July 2024, fans started speculating that Ice Spice and Central Cee may be more than just friends, especially after their recent hangouts in London and their flirtatious banter on social media.
The “Munch” rapper shared a video of herself on Instagram in early July, where she’s seen rapping and twerking against a backdrop of fireworks. In the caption, Ice wrote, “if he cheatin im doin him worse,” prompting Central Cee to quickly comment “Trouble” beneath the post — one of the first social media users to chime in.
The flirtatious social media interaction came days after the pair were spotted together in London.
However, news of their collab — a single titled “Did It First” — hit on July 11 via TikTok, so some fans believe the dating rumors could merely be a PR stunt to spark engagement for their upcoming single.
In July 2024, Ice Spice confirmed that the two were just friends during an interview with Rolling Stone. “We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out, honestly. We’re just twins,” she told the outlet.
Madeline Argy Responds to the Rumors
Madeline reacted to Central Cee and Ice Spice’s dating rumors publicly — taking notes from Brooke Schofield, the social media star posted a TikTok series explaining her side of things.
First, she started off the series by claiming she hadn’t been made aware of the collaboration, stating she watched the music video like everyone else when it was released.
“I did not know that any of this […] was going to happen,” she began. “Let me take you guys back a couple months. I’m laid up in bed and [Central Cee] comes to me and he’s like, ‘I have a new song to show you.’ And I’m like, ‘Yes, serenade me!’ And then he plays me his verse. I’m like…not only did you just snitch on yourself that you’re cheating, but you just told me exactly how.”
However, Madeline says Central Cee claimed he was doing this all for publicity — including the questionable song’s lyrics.
Madeline explained that in mid-June she tried to arrange a conversation with Central Cee to break up with him, but he refused to see her until July 1. When that date came and went, Central Cee called her on the phone to warn her about the photos of him and Ice Spice that were released a day later.
“I didn’t even actually get to break up with him and he’s already with the next girl!” Madeline exclaimed.
ICYMI, the TikTok star and London-based rapper first sparked dating rumors in September 2022, until Madeline confirmed their breakup one year later. However, they’ve since sparked reconciliation rumors … and then split rumors again!
In September 2023, the social media star confirmed the two had been broken up for “a couple months” during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
During the episode, Madeline revealed that she “made the final call” to end their relationship, explaining that there “was a lot of back and forth” between the pair in a “toxic, fun way” for months.
She said they would “have that conversation” about why the relationship was no longer “fulfilling” for them and that they “were not happy,” but regardless, they’d just end up back where they started: together.
