Ice Spice has admitted she used to judge other artists' awards show performances.

The 24-year-old rapper has revealed she didn't realise how difficult it was to perform at awards shows until she did it herself.

"I'd be like, 'Oh, that was awkward. Why the f**k would they do that? Why was she looking there?'" Ice recalled thinking during a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

"When you're doing it yourself, you're like, 'OK, this is a lot.' There's like 10 different cameras," the musician continued. "There are cues, and everything is just so much, but it's fun, though. At the end of the day, when it's over, it's fun."

Ice, real name Isis Gaston, last performed at the BET Awards in June, taking to the stage to perform her track Phat Butt.

Elsewhere in the interview, Ice reflected on what it's like to be a woman in the music industry, admitting she's "jealous" of the men in her team.

"We do live in a misogynistic world where it's like you have to be breathtakingly hot to get certain opportunities," she told the publication. "I was born as a woman and raised as a woman, so I only know this lifestyle, but I could just imagine how easy it is for guys."

The rapper added, "I am very jealous when the men on my team get to sleep an extra five f**king hours because they don't have glam."
