I was Ice Spice’s stand-in for her Super Bowl commercial — but I was never told that

She thought she was the s–t — until she got the part.
Alexa Beckford, a content creator, revealed she was Ice Spice’s stand-in for her Starry soft drink Super Bowl commercial — but claimed that she wasn’t fully informed about her doppelgänger role until the rapper walked on set.
“I’m cosplaying Ice Spice for the Super Bowl and I was just gonna find out in the middle of watching the game?” Beckford said in a viral TikTok clip. “Travis Kelce, cut. Taylor Swift, cut. Me as Ice Spice … huh?”
In the 3-minute clip — which was posted on Tuesday, Feb. 13, and racked up 5 million views — the Los Angeles, California, resident described her experience on set.
Making it even wilder: this was her TV commercial debut.
“Realizing I was going to be Ice Spice’s stand-in was insane because this was my very first time being on television and in a commercial,” Beckford told The Post.
She arrived on set prepared for a long day of work, not expecting what her day had in store.
“I pull up as Alexa, and they have me sitting on the couch reading [talent] lines, living my best movie star life,” she said in her video. “They hand me a paper script at the top right of that paper — why does it say ‘Starry Super Bowl promo’?”
Beckford was shocked when she processed her commercial was going to be aired during the Super Bowl.
“Who was going to tell me this was for the Super Bowl?” the UGC creator continued. “Then all of a sudden I hear someone say, ‘The talent is here. Where do you want her to sit?’”
Beckford, 22, appeared confused about the news because she assumed she was the star of the commercial after practicing her lines all day. But then she noticed that the talent was Bronx native rapper Ice Spice.
The following day on set, Beckford transformed into the “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2,” songstress wearing the signature ginger curly wig and an all-black Y2K outfit.
“They turned me into Ice Spice,” Beckford said online.
The Post reached out to Ice Spice’s representatives for comment.
She featured snippets of the commercial in her TikTok, showing the moments her neck made its big debut.
“I didn’t even care that the only part of me being shown was my neck,” she told The Post. “My neck is in her superstar era, OK!”
The 22-year-old elaborated on how a scene from the Super Bowl commercial, where an actor’s head explodes with soda, was quite terrifying.
“When I tell you I feared for my life. I had a tarp covering me from my toes to my neck — I was about to get waterboarded,” the content creator shared online.
Beckford confessed she barely spoke to Ice Spice while on set, even though they had to swap places “every 10 minutes.”
The UGC creator admitted she finally said something to the “Munch” rapper later in the day.
“On our very last scene, as we’re switching places for the last time, I boldly say, ‘Hi,’ and she says, ‘Hey’ — and that was that,” she cackled on TikTok.
However, Beckford remains grateful for the brief cameo and hopes to continue making more on-camera appearances.
“It’s been a dream to be on television since I was a kid,” she gushed to The Post, then joking, “Hopefully, my next commercial features my eyebrow or maybe even an ear lobe, if I’m lucky.”
Starry, PepsiCo brand’s lemon-lime soda that shot the commercial, popped up underneath Beckford’s story time in the video comments, saying, “No one told you this was for the SUPER BOWL?!?”
Beckford replied, “NO STARRY, not even lemon or lime like???”
The Starry team left Beckford just as confused as Ice Spice was while she watched the 2024 Super Bowl with her gal pal — and girlfriend to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — who cheered over the game’s excitement.
Many viewers took to social media to joke about the Hip Hop star’s expression.
“Ice not knowing what’s going on,” commented one user.
“I’m Ice Spice i have genuinely no idea what’s happening,” a second fan laughed.
Kelce’s Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in only the second-ever overtime game for the championship.
