Ice Spice Turned the Mercedes-Benz CLA Into a Molten Chrome Princess-Mobile
As part of the automaker’s Class of Creators, the “Princess of Rap” was invited to build her own one-of-a-kind art piece inspired by the new car.
Give Ice Spice a Mercedes-Benz CLA, and she’ll ice it out princess style.
The “Princess of Rap” (yes, that is the nickname she’s chosen to rep on her very own diamond-encrusted chain) is among Mercedes-Benz’s new “Class of Creators,” a collective of five artists shaping music, fashion, and design who have been invited to collaborate with the automaker on art pieces inspired by the all-new CLA model throughout the next year. Spice is joined by Gustaf Westman, KidSuper, League of Legends, and Hot Wheels, each of whom will present their own interpretations of the vehicle in the coming months. On Thursday evening, the royal rapper was up first to present her vision for the car.

The “Munch” singer’s take on the CLA is exactly the metallic princess-mobile you’d picture her driving in a well-funded music video. Her molten chrome iteration of the vehicle features “Ice Spice”-adorned wheels, chainlink trims, and a massive pink “Princess” motif across the center of the design. You can’t see inside the car (the windows are glazed in the aforementioned molten chrome), but it’s easy to imagine Spice speeding off the lot in the driver’s seat.
Notably, the rapper debuted her sleek wheels at the Mercedes dealership in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, with a fitting string of performances from the cast of the Broadway hit show Hell’s Kitchen. Brooklyn’s DJ LPX rounded out the night with her own thrills on the turntable, while guests took in the art-on-wheels and Spice’s collaborative capsule of black and pastel hoodies and T-shirts, set to launch soon.
Take a look at Ice Spice’s custom Mercedes-Benz CLA in the gallery above, and stay tuned for more artful takes from the carmaker’s Class of Creators throughout the year.
