Rah Digga Takes A Swipe At Iggy Azalea For Rapping In A Fake Accent
Rapper, former Flipmode Squad member, and Rasheeda from Carmen: A Hop Hopera (really the only credit that matters) Rah Digga recently spit some truth so hot about Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, you could deep-fry an Outback Bloomin’ Onion in it. During an interview with Gossip Viv from This is 50 Radio (via E!), Rah let it be known that she thinks the answer to Iggy’s question of “Who dat? Who dat?” is ‘A White Chicks-looking kangaroo-riding pantyhose-wrapped bundle of LIES‘:
“Iggy Azalea, I can’t really get into her. Because it’s just not real to me. There is a white girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into. Teach me Australian Hip-Hop culture. Don’t come to America and try to convince me that you’re Gangsta Boo. We’re not going to believe you if you’re trying to convince us that you’re out here trap shooting.”
“That’s the problem. They’re too many passes being given. When did it become wrong to call out people that don’t write their own rhymes? When did that become a crime in hip-hop?”
In case you’re wondering what rapping in an Australian accent sounds like, this isĀ Chelsea Jane (who might actually be the long-lost triplet sister of Daniel and Nathan Sims).
Naturally, Iggy decided to respond to Rah’s accusations that she’s doing a spot-on impression of J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys by throwing some subtle shade on Twitter:
I honestly don't really mind if I'm described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining.

its definetly funny seeing ppl get so emotional over it all. What does it matter? music is music and many enjoy mine, no need to feel upset.

@Listen2Kevin every female rapper gets accused of not writing, and thats fine i just find it disappointing to see it come from other women

Obviously Iggy’s accent is as fake as Ariana Grande’s ponytail, but maybe it’s not her fault? Maybe Iggy is one of those people who moves to a new country and starts mimicking their accent, like that friend everybody has who went to London for two weeks and came home sounding like a 19th century Cockney bootblack. Iggy can’t help it! I’m sure if she went home and performed a show at the Fosters Center (I’m sure it’s called that) she’d be all “Feest things feest, I’m a dinkum…“
