Iggy Azalea Finally Comments On The Iggy Azalea/Azealia Banks Mess
Once again, for those of you thinking “Which one is she? The Iggy or the Azalea?“, above is American-sounding Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. And the one she’s currently in a hate-hate relationship with is Azealia Banks. Don’t worry – it’s not just you; this feud is really confusing, and I’m able to tell the two apart. Not to mention that it’s making me type so many variations of the name “Azalea/Azealia” that I’ve just about worn out the Z key on my keyboard.
Anyways, last week Azalea Banks (not pictured) started focusing her patented brand of Twitter crazy on Iggy Azalea (pictured) by accusing her of profiting off of American rap culture. Iggy responded by dragging Azealia on Twitter, which prompted the hacker group Anonymous to threaten Iggy on Twitter that if she didn’t apologize to Azealia they’d release screen grabs from her hypothetical sex tape. Their Twitter account has since been suspended, but they were replaced with rapper Q-Tip, who decided to hop on Twitter and give Iggy a hip hop history lesson. Meanwhile, Twitter just bought the Costco-sized bottle of extra-strength Tylenol to deal with the massive headache it has from all this Twitter foolery.
And yesterday, Iggy responded to the haters or whatever on Twitter (“NO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LEAVE ME ALONE!” cried Twitter, as it curled into the fetal position). And by “responded”, I mean “wrote a damn novel”.
most people learn every and anything they can about the subjects they are passionate about, I'm no different.

i find it patronizing to assume i have no knowledge of something I'm influenced by, but I've also grown up with strangers assuming that.

im also not going to sit on twitter & play hip hop squares with strangers to somehow prove i deserve to be a fan of or influenced by hiphop.

i would have to be an idiot or incredibly bored to think that would change anyones already cemented opinion of me. I'm neither.

how you feel about me blending musical genres together doesn't bother me, no one is making you support or buy pop rap albums.

its the most magical time of year and be it a slow news week… it still seems a waste to spend it aimlessly trolling my account.

I will say this: Hip Hop Squares is totally a show I would watch. I actually just pictured who the center square would be (right now it’s a toss-up between either MC Skat Kat or Macaulay Culkin from the “Black or White” video).
Even though she packed Twitter full of her thoughts in an attempt to hush up the haters, I doubt this will be the last time someone accuses Iggy Azalea of culture-humping. Although I do hope that next time it’s a Twitter fight between Iggy and a barely-coherant Kim Kardashian over fake asses. “U need 2 rekognize that getting a dr to inject your butt full of cheap fillerz is a part of kardashian kulture!“
