There\u2019s never a dull moment with Charles Barkley<\/a> on the desk.<\/p>\n

During the Saturday, April 18 playoff edition of \u201cInside the NBA\u201d talk show, Barkley, 63, chimed in on the obscure story involving rapper Ice Spice<\/a>\u2019s recent altercation with a fan in a McDonald\u2019s<\/a> restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear they got some slappy happy meals over there,\u201d Barkley said during the show \u2014 which is sponsored by the fast food restaurant. \u201cYou see Ice Spice got slapped at McDonald\u2019s? What you doing at McDonald\u2019s in the middle of the night Ice Spice? Come on, stop that. Get it to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The off-the-cuff comment came while fellow analyst Ernie Johnson was finishing up an ad read for McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresented by McDonald\u2019s. How about that, presented by McDonald\u2019s Chuck,\u201d Ernie Johnson said, before Barkey\u2019s rant.<\/p>\n

Johnson tried to wrap up the show, but Barkley wasn\u2019t quite done talking about McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love McDonald\u2019s,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cFish fillet is the greatest sandwich ever. Just dip it in that little barbecue sauce. Eat half, double dip.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Barkley seemed to be just getting started.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey got a slappy happy meal over there,\u201d he continued later in the show. \u201cLet Ice Spice eat in peace! \u2026 She should have slapped her in the face with a Big Mac. You walk up on me, everything’s on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that point, the show\u2019s producers got in on the fun, showing the security cam footage from the Ice Spice incident at the restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on, Spice. Leave that woman alone,\u201d Barkley said as the clip played.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Wednesday, April 15, when Ice Spice, 26, and her friend were approached by a fan while eating at a McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The incident escalated into a full fight after the fan slapped Ice Spice, and the rapper retaliated<\/a>. When the fan ran outside of the restaurant, Ice Spice followed, continuing the brawl.<\/p>\n

Security camera footage from the incident quickly went viral on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis wouldn\u2019t happen at Wendy\u2019s,\u201d Ice Spice wrote via X<\/a> on Friday, April 17, alongside the security footage from the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

For whatever it\u2019s worth, the rapper has a partnership with Wendy\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,\u201d the singer\u2019s lawyer Bradford Cohen told Page Six in a statement. \u201cWe are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s never a dull moment with Charles Barkley on the desk.
