Angine De Poitrine once again have people talking after their silent acceptance at the Billboard Canada Awards.

The anonymous and mysterious polka-dotted Montreal duo have been one of the breakout musical acts of 2026, releasing their second album ‘Vol. II’ in April, going viral around the world for their eccentric live performances and winning celebrity fans including Dave Grohl.

On Wednesday (June 10), the band were the recipients of the Global Breakthrough Award at the ceremony in Toronto’s Massey Hall, and as they took to the stage, they teased the possibility of speaking in public for the first time.

However, guitarist Khn de Poitrine and percussionist Klek de Poitrine stood silently with their award, and after a moment of anticipation, Khn touched their polka dot hat and triggered an explosion of confetti over the entire audience.

Watch here:

 

Angine De Poitrine have been touring in recent months in their home country, as well as in the UK and Europe, with dates to come in North America throughout the rest of the summer. They then head to Europe again in September, with a string of shows in the UK in October, some of which have seen venues upgraded due to phenomenal demand, See all of the dates here and find any remaining tickets here.

Last month, they kicked off the opening night of The Great Escape in Brighton with an in-demand headline set at the opening party, presented by NME.

It was later named as one of the top 10 shows of the festival by NME, who noted: “The Deep End tent bursts open for the papier-mâché-headed headliners, inciting moshpits and adulation for the viral spectacle of their microtonal madness. While AI slop may be on the rise, there’s something in the startling unpredictability and sheer musicality of these two polka-dotted aliens that feels essentially human.”

Their rapid ascent and online buzz has also reportedly led to a fake version of the band popping up in Russia.

Ice Spice Appears on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘New Body,’ New Report Says

If you are a hip-hop listener who keeps up with leaks and unreleased records, you have likely come across Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “New Body.” The track has been floating around since 2018 and also includes a feature from Nicki Minaj. Despite ongoing requests over the years, Nicki has continued to decline clearance for its official release.

For a long time, Ye and Ty have held onto the record, hoping the circumstances would eventually align for it to drop. Years have passed since it first surfaced, and many fans have already accepted that it may never see an official release in its original form. In recent developments, Ty Dolla $ign briefly gave listeners some renewed optimism during a livestream. In the clip being shared online, he plays the track before quickly cutting it once an unidentified female verse comes in. The voice stands out immediately, and it is clearly not Nicki Minaj. Instead, many listeners believe it sounds similar to Ice Spice.

While some people might interpret this as a replacement of Nicki Minaj, it is worth remembering that she has repeatedly made it clear she does not want her verse released. Because of that, it would not be surprising if Ye and Ty explored other options to complete the record. Bringing in a newer viral artist would be a natural alternative given the situation.

Did Ice Spice Replace Nicki Minaj?

Even though the situation may look like a subtle shift away from Nicki, it is important to note that her contribution was never cleared for release. That leaves room for the possibility that a new verse could be used instead. The idea of tapping someone like Ice Spice would also fit the current trend of collaborating with rising artists who have strong online momentum.

At this point, it is still unclear when or even if this updated version of the song was recorded. There is also no confirmation on whether it will ever be officially released. If it does eventually drop, it would likely spark major discussion among fans who have been following the track’s long and complicated history.
