And the claws are out!
Earlier today, footage of T.I and Iggy Azalea weighing in on her recent nemesis Azealia Banks emerged here, adding fuel to their already smoking ‘beef’.
Now, in response to their comments, Banks has struck back, labeling T.I ‘corny” and questioning a controversial lyric from Azalea’s ‘D.R.U.G.S‘ , a lyric many believe has racial undertones.
Her response below…
Taking to Twitter, she explained:
Lol I NEVER needed the next nigga to sit up on a radio show with me and defend me.
Furthermore, n*ggas r sitting up here trying to mask/defend what homegirl said. F*ck outta here.
Hit the 0.04 mark below:
Adding:
Everybody got something slick to say, but no one got an explanation
Come on T.I…. N*ggas is not scared of u and whatever shit u got to say on some radio show.
LMFAOO how u a grown man commenting on what’s going on between two girls. Come on son. Stop it.
Ruin my career: what f*cking ever… Y’all wish.
Though we’re sure Iggy is anything but racist, we are interested to gauge the thinking behind the ‘slave master’ line.
But what do you think:

I knew this heffa was going to respond. I’m not mad at all because she’s just resents the fact her ass got called out for her tacky behavior. DEAD at her saying T.I. is “corny”. lol! Like NO it’s corny for someone to bitch and moan about an artist being on an xxl magazine cover. Not taking sides because like I said in the other post bot her and Iggy are capable in bringing some real ish into the rap game. This dumb shit Banks started now shows that she too has alot of work to do in order for her to ge respect. Iggy held her ish down with that interview, TIP wasn’t defending her he was telling it like it is. Why Banks had to feel the need to bash Iggy in the first place? That’s cool she had her opinion about Iggy but to put it all out there. NO that’s not cool. Whatever no need for insecure artists who so called have that stamina of “keeping it real and telling the truth. The truth of the matter is the public will either be drawn into Iggy or her. So Banks need to get her self checked and do her ish because this is chidish. Iggy got her shit together.

Black people kill me (and I’m Black). We only care about “racial” remarks when they come from other races. However, it’s not a problem when we use it. It’s perfectly fine…
However, BLACKS were not the only slaves! Gosh…. The concept of slavery and masters extended to several races and cultures. Blacks get so sensitive. Don Imus can call girls some “Nappy headed hoes” but let Kevin Hart say it. We’ll be right there laughing our behinds off.
The lyric Iggy said was cunning. I made sense considering the context. It reminded me of something Drake or Lil Wayne would say. This girl is definitely not racist, especially with the Hip Hop industry she is trying to enter. Leave her alone and let her shine.
Sigh….

And now she’s comming with this racist BS claims? That’s low… There are tons of NON black slaves and most people outside the US don’t have the same meaning for it as people in the US and besides that she works, hangs with and idolises black people.

You’ve got something to say about her music. 3. Youve got something to say and actually lash out at TI when all Iggy said was ‘I can’t take anything from you, you can’t take anything from me’ and for as tiny a fanbase as she has 4. You’ve got something to say about Kreashyn.
You’re coming off looking like an angry hater. Several paragraphs looking childish…smh.
I wish shed chill and focus on her music but it’s clear she’s going to be of those chicks taking her beef to Twitter and respondin to every comment while her music stays on the shelves. She’s already pissing off the potential fanbase she didn’t have.

No I make perfect sense. Azeila looks like a gorilla IMO. Skin color has nothing to do with it. And what racist person would want to be a rapper since they were 14 when most black people are black?? And like I said, the two people she admires the most are black men. A black man signed her to his label. Shes in a group made up of black men. And you dont know the intent on that line either so how do you know it was meant to be rascist?

Whenever you Iggy Azalea apologists get through, the shit she said was inappropriate, racist, and ridiculous. Deal. with. it.
Moreover, her accent. The only way to cut it is she is attempting to appropriate a particular “sound” (I say “sound” to be generous) in order to be accepted. Iggy Azalea is from New South Wales Australia. Let me say this again, she is from New South Australia.
What Australian do YOU know that sounds like THAT? I’ll wait….
I am SO glad that Azealia called her out.
Since when has mimicry been translated into “talent?” I can answer this question if you would like.

I’m team Iggy!! Azelia Banks is so bitchy and pretentious. I agree that “runaway slave master” was a stupid lyric, but it’s not necessarily an offensive one. Iggy is from Australia, so she might be referencing something that went on in Australia. After World War 2, a lot of Europeans immigrated to Australia, so it doesn’t have to be about race. Maybe I’m wrong, though.

What does V-Nasty using the N word have anything to do with @SomeBitche’s comments? #invalidpoint People talk shit about Kreayshawn on blog sites #invaildpoint. Majority of those blogs have black audiences and majority of Kreayshawns fans are white (see footage from her mini tour). Those people hating arent her targeted audience so theyre opinion is irrelevant. And Kreayshawn has already blown up bigger than AB sweety, call me when AB is getting attention from Mtv, VMA nominated, cover of Complex Magazine, in GQ Magazine, and has a song chart on the Hot 100 with no hype, no promo, and now help from a label

i heared about those c***s today an lemme tell you :
For me, artistically , i’m leaning towards ” banks” , but in this whole situation , i’m with Iggy !!
when black people stop calling each other ” n****” , “nappy headed bitch” , etc… , then they can address racism , till then ..
iggy’s situation is no wrong. she can’t be racist when she is aspiring to be a rapper , that’s a black ppl’s thing ! like c’mon !
azelia is being a bitch and wanna grab the spotlight on her face by making her self “defending” black ppl when in reality , there is nothing calls for that , in reality , she’s just pissed off cuz no one paid attention to her.
she know when black ppl find a black girl attacking a white girl , and throw the ” racist” card , ms. banks know she will win effortlessly. and this will make her on the tongues of many. and this will be free promo for her , equivalent to if she was on the cover of vogue for example. #smart gurl
but black ppl need to stop playing with that card, you make yourself look dumb.
AB is an attention seeker and plays with the “racism” card , this card is in every black person’s smallest pocket ! when in situation when you need attention , get it out !!! #Tip

This is about Iggy using a racist line in her song and then being pushed out to a certain audience where that line can be directed towards. You’re a slave master??? Really??? And y’all don’t see the problem with it??? Oh. Let’s also ignore the fact that Iggy is fawking GARBAGE too huh? Oh ok. T.I. Had no place or business commenting on a spat between two women.

And Jews weren’t the only ones killed in the Holocaust, you dumb bastard. That still doesn’t discount that they were the most heavily persecuted and disenfranchised victims of that ‘movement’, just as blacks were with slavery in America.
Good luck getting into anyone’s “top 20 business university” if you try to discredit Holocaust victims and Jews using that logic, but I’m sure you won’t even try. It’s only cool to minimalize black suffering. Right?

I can always count on these blogs to show just how pathetic we can be as a people. You’re so sure Iggy is not racist how? LOL. Oh I forgot because she hangs around black people and has “black girl swag”. Lol.
I don’t know how anyone can even try to explain that slavemaster lyric. So instead you just say oh well Africans enslaved other Africans. Idiots. So I imagine you Africans ran all those plantations all up and through places like VA, NC,SC.
What is wrong with some of y’all? I guess black folks instituted Jim Crow or burned down Black Wall Street or chased blacks off their own land. Land many of us have lost forever.
The next generation of black folks will probably be saying slavery never happened. We have become a bunch of pathetic weaklings who can’t take a stance on jack and we remain the laughing stock of the world.

Honestly, Azealia Banks is going the WRONG route with all this extra. She doesn’t even have an album out, yet she is salt lake city because Iggy made the cover of XXL. It’s all politics. Banks is gonna end up in the same boat as Lil Kim. Jealousy and envy will not sell her album or even guarantee her a release at all. She is a non factor in U.S. music, so she should be focused on making music that does something for the people and stopped trying to beef with other artists. I’m not taking sides, as Im not a fan of either, but this little girl hasn’t been rapping long enough to have an opinion about anybody else in the game.
