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.

Outside of consistently delivering those hits since bursting onto the dancehall scene in the early 2000s, Spice has been working hard building a name for herself and expanding her brand. In November 2018 she released her Captured mixtape and controversial single ‘Black Hypocrisy’ .
As major success continues for the Dancehall Diva in 2019, we at Caribbean Entertainment Hub would like to congratulate Spice for her continued success and would like to wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
