Spice Reminds Fans About ‘Frenz’ After Watching ‘Squid Game’

Queen of the Dancehall Spice sees the premise of her song Frenz in an infamous scene from the mega-hit Korean drama series, Squid Game.

The Netflix series follows several people, who have each racked up millions in debt, as they accept invitations to compete in a series of twisted versions of Korean childhood games, where the final winner could take home billions but the penalty for losers is death.

In a recent Instagram post, Spice referenced her song Frenz when she asked her followers about a “scene in #SquidGame [that] reminded you the most not to trust people?”

For the Queen of Dancehall, it was the fourth game, where the remaining players were told to pair up.  However, instead of working together as a team, the pair were later forced to play against each other in a marble game of their choice.  The player that got all their partner’s marbles within 30 minutes won the game, while the loser was shot.

“It was the Indian boy that he tricked with the Marbles and gave him stones for me 😩😞 #Frenz,” Spice wrote, referring to the character, Cho Sang Woo (played by Park Hae Soo) who betrayed Pakistani worker Abdul Ali (played by Aupam Tripathi), by switching his marbles and replacing them with stones, causing Ali to lose the game and get killed.

Spice’s Frenz appeared on her debut album 10 which was released on August 6. The song touched on the topic of disloyal friends and finding out the hard way that many friends are not who they say they are.

First released in December 2020, the single was timely for the Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta star, following allegations made by her former friend RT Boss, and the subsequent split with her former dancers Rebel, TC and Prettii Prettii.  Within three days of its release, Frenz shot to number one on the US and UK iTunes reggae charts. The official music video has so far racked up over five million views on YouTube.

On Wednesday, Netflix confirmed that Squid Game was now its most popular show ever with some 142 million households having watched the 9 episode series.
