In 2018, Spice (Grace Hamilton) became the first dancehall artist to join the successful Love & Hip-Hop franchise. She quickly experience difficulties because of her heavy Jamaican accent but her determination and fierce attitude soon made her a favorite of the fans.
Many were surprised by the Love & Hip Hop win including the cast and Spice herself, however, she believes it is a great accomplishment and was very happy and excited for the win.
She shared pictures and videos of the night’s events with her fans on her social media including meeting MTV’s ‘Wilding Out’ host Nick Cannon who also won on the night in the ‘Best Host’ Category.
