Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner are not fans of PDA as the rumored couple refused to kiss during their kiss cam moment. The Grammy-nominated rapper and New York Jets cornerback attended Adin Ross’ sporting event on Friday (April 11). Dana White commented on the interaction between Ice and Gardner.
“Is that her boyfriend?” someone asked.
White chimed in, “They’re acting like they don’t even f***ing love each other.”
“It’s like they’re devastated that the kiss cam was on. The f***?” he continued.
When the kiss cam created an animated heart around the rumored love birds, Ice began laughing and touching her hair, with the NFL star smiling and slightly shaking his head. They both avoided eye contact with one another during the awkward moment.
