You can always count on Adin Ross’ wild, slightly unhinged celebrity fight nights to go viral — but this time, it wasn’t a knockout punch that had the internet spinning. Instead, it was the world’s most awkward kiss cam moment featuring Sauce Gardner and Ice Spice, and it ended with UFC president Dana White roasting the New York Jets star like he was headlining a comedy roast, not an NFL secondary.
Sauce Gardner and Ice Spice’s Now-Viral Kiss Cam Snub
It all went down during Ross’ influencer-packed brawl fest, a chaotic blend of streaming drama and celebrity showdowns. Right in the middle of all that mayhem, the kiss cam landed on Ice Spice — the Bronx-born rap phenom — and Gardner, her rumored flame and Pro Bowl cornerback.
What happened next? Absolutely nothing.
No smirk. No head tilt. No playful shrug. Just silence, tension, and two mega-celebrities sitting stiff as mannequins under the spotlight.
Social media lit up almost instantly. The freeze-frame energy between the NFL star and the chart-topping rapper — who have been linked since their February shopping trip in Jersey — had fans spiraling.
They’ve been spotted together multiple times over the past few months, including a joint appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in March, leaving in the same car. Rumors of a budding romance have swirled ever since — fueled further by a now-viral Instagram post from Sauce showing Ice Spice reaching for the door of his matte gray Rolls Royce. Fans were expecting sparks.

Instead, they got static. Enter Dana White — the UFC boss caught wind of the moment and, in true Dana fashion, didn’t hold back. In a clip that’s been reposted across TikTok, X, and every group chat with a sense of humor, White reportedly said:
“That’s her boyfriend? They’re acting like they don’t even f****** know each other.”
And then he doubled down, adding, “It’s like they’re devastated that the kiss cam was on. The f***?”
His reaction matched what thousands were thinking. Whether the two were avoiding PDA or just completely caught off guard, nobody was expecting that energy from two people who’ve been fueling dating rumors for months.
Is There More to Sauce and Ice Spice’s Story?
To be fair, Ice Spice — real name Isis Gaston — has more going on than any viral clip. Her rise since dropping “Munch (Feelin’ U)” has been astronomical. Co-signs from Drake and Cardi B, a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and now a debut album, “Y2K!,” have made her a defining face of New York’s new wave of hip-hop.
But the interest in her personal life is part of the package — and Gardner, a former Cincinnati Bearcats standout and arguably the NFL’s best young cornerback, doesn’t exactly fly under the radar either. The duo’s public appearances, cryptic posts, and shared spotlight have made them one of pop culture’s most intriguing “are-they-or-aren’t-they” situations.
Only now, the kiss cam fiasco might’ve changed the vibe.
For now, neither Ice Spice nor Gardner has addressed the moment. But with White taking playful shots and the internet doing its thing, one thing is certain: This won’t be the last time these two go viral.
