Spice Girls icon Mel B spilled the tea on how the legendary girl group got their iconic nicknames. From Geri's fiery locks leading to Ginger Spice to Mel C's tracksuit addiction earning her Sporty Spice, Mel B explained the reasoning behind each moniker. She also cleared up the misconception surrounding her Scary Spice nickname, stating it stemmed from her assertive interview style rather than her personality.
The singer, also known as Scary Spice, along with her bandmates Mel C, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell became household names in the 1990s, but it was their Spice monikers that really stuck.
While chatting on Paloma Faith's Mad Sad and Bad podcast, Mel B explained that their nicknames were the brainchild of "lazy journalist" who couldn't be bothered to remember their real names. She clarified that her own nickname, Scary Spice, wasn't about being mad or unpredictable. Mel B also shared the story behind her own nickname, saying: "So the reason he said scary to me is because, say for example we'd be doing an interview, I'd go , 'Now interview me'."During a candid chat with Paloma, the singer reminisced about the early days of her band and admitted she wouldn't hesitate to cut an interviewer short if she disapproved of their questions. "I think if you would've met me back then I was a bit scary," she confessed.
