Spice and Her Bae — All You Need to Know
After keeping her love life private for so long, the queen of dancehall has finally revealed her king, Justin Budd, in a birthday post that has sent lots of tongues wagging. While some of her fans are skeptical, tagging the announcement as one of her numerous publicity stunts, others are excited for her and are all over her page, expressing their best wishes.
One of her followers commented, “All wa a gwan me a look fi a music video 😫😫😫 probably will be about the brand… Spice nah trick me 🤣🤣” while another fan said “Spice u cant trick me goodbye.”
But Spice has since come out to confirm that her relationship with Budd is real. She posted a short clip with herself and Budd chilling and kissing in a pool and dedicated it to “the people in the back who thinks all this is just a stunt for music video…”. “Watch to the end the kiss is just for you. This real ova yah so. Watch kiss up 😂😂😂😂 mi ago sleep now bye. FYI Grace is on Vacation and Spice will be back Thursday” she added.
A quick look at Justin Budd’s Instagram handle @jbuddmedia reveals that he’s an executive producer and director of photography, JBudd Media Inc. In a post he made on the 17th of November, he showed off himself and his celebrity girlfriend enjoying a ride in an ATV with the caption —
“King and Queen #BlackLove @jbuddmedia @Spiceofficial.” In another post, he wrote, “My girl is better than yours ‼️😂😂 Gypsy dinner on the beach #Mexico 🇲🇽 birthday baecation continues @Spiceofficial #BlackLove.” He seems to be just as love-struck as Spice is.
Although it is not clear how they met or for how long they’ve been together, there are speculations that they met on the set of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. Justin Budd, it has been confirmed, owns a film company that has filmed for Love and Hip Hop.
This would be Spice’s second confirmed relationship in a long while. Recall that the dancehall artiste had called off her engagement with Nicholas Lall, with whom she has 2 kids, and after that called him a “deadbeat dad.”
The Baecation
Moments after Spice revealed her new lover on IG, she jetted off with him to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur in Mexico, for a one-in-a-lifetime baecation to celebrate his birthday. She revealed that this is her first baecation ever while posting videos to show how she surprised her bae with the Mariachi band.
Subsequently, Spice and Justin Budd kept dishing out ‘couple goals’ vibes on their Instagram handles, displaying lots of beautiful pictures in what we can describe as a romantic, fun-filled getaway vacation.
The love birds were pictured having a nice time riding and swimming together. Subsequently, Spice revealed that she surprised her lover a second time with a well-planned Gypsy dinner on the beach in an array of pictures she captioned, “Last night I surprised babe with a Gypsy dinner on the beach 🏖. Baecation continues Cabo #Mexico 🇲🇽 It’s just the little cute things for me. Don’t slide if you know you jealous 😂😂 @jbuddmedia 😍😍😍@rushescape thanks for bringing my vision to life 👌🏿”.
The couple had an exciting experience that Spice describes as “heaven on earth.”
