Life and career

On November 25, 2013, IceJJFish released his debut single, "On the Floor". [7] He released its music video on February 6, 2014, via YouTube. The video was produced and promoted by San Antonio-based entertainment company ThatRaw.com. "On the Floor" marked his breakthrough success in his career; its video received over 10 million views within a month and currently has over 85 million views. [8] His unique style of poorly crafted music garnered him several titles from media outlets that year, such as "internet idol" and "internet sensation". [9] It also led to his single "On the Floor" to be regarded as one of the worst songs of the 2010s. [10]

In 2014, IceJJFish made a guest appearance in Odd Future's Loiter Squad . [11] In the episode he was included in, he created a song alongside Tyler, the Creator that was meant to troll hip hop. [12] The song was titled "I Just Bought A Bugatti (I'm Happy)" and was applauded by critics for its humorous nature. [13]

Later in 2015, IceJJFish would be featured in an episode of Nick Cannon's Wild N' Out . [14] In the episode, he was involved in a rap competition with the show's regulars. [15]

In the second half of the 2010s, IceJJFish would go on to feud with artists such as Lil Yachty, accusing musicians like him of copying his sound. [16] He would go on to release an EP titled LilJJFish as a result, with its cover featuring McLoyd mimicking Yachty's appearance. IceJJFish then later went on to change his R&B sound to that of gospel, with the projects he released in 2019 reflecting that sound. [17]

On October 5, 2022, IceJJFish announced on social media that he had gotten married. [18]
