Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Matty Healy apologises to Ice Spice for racist remarks

Caption: Matty Healy apologises to Ice Spice for racist remarks. Ice Spice has insisted she and Matty Healy returned to good terms following remarks the 1975 frontman made during a podcast. In a new interview with Variety, the Princess Diana singer revealed Matty had apologised to her "a bunch of times”. "When I had heard that little podcast or whatever, I was so confused. Because I heard 'chubby Chinese lady' or some s**t like that, and I'm like, 'Huh? What does that even mean?' First of all, I'm thick. What do you mean Chinese? What? But then they apologized.” The star, real name Isis Naija Gaston, confessed that she "didn't really care" about Matty's remarks. ”But that's funny because I saw him at the Jean Paul Gaultier party a couple days ago, and he was like, 'Hey, you okay?' and I'm like, 'Of course. He apologised to me a bunch of times. We're good.” Matty faced a public backlash in February after he debated Ice Spice's ethnicity and mocked the accents of people of Chinese and Hawaiian descent on The Adam Friedland Show podcast. The About You singer later publicly apologised to Ice Spice during a New Zealand concert in May, telling the crowd he "never meant to hurt anybody”.
