After being blasted by ‘Fire Squad’ rapper J. Cole here, Def Jam’s Iggy Azalea has faced fresh criticism launched her way by ‘Wallace’ performer Azealia Banks, who has accused her of being part of a scheme to downplay achievements made by their fellow “femcee” Nicki Minaj.
Full story below…
After taking to Twitter to respond to a New York City grand jury’s decision not to indict the police officer responsible for the death of 43 year old African-American Eric Garner, Azealia hit Iggy with:
Her remarks on Azalea followed an impassioned criticism of society’s supposed treatment of African-Americans, and were in direct reference to efforts made by some media outlets to name Azalea the new Queen of Hip Hop following the release of her #1 single ‘Fancy.’
Unfortunately, this attempt to elevate the ‘Beg For It‘ star saw her faced with hostility by some members of the Hip Hop community, who saw this is a slight to the undeniably more accomplished and talented Minaj, leading to the unearthing of allegedly racist tweets Azalea is said to have made before rising to superstardom.
These, being the remarks Banks seems to be referring to when linking the Australian entertainer to the racist ‘Ku Klux Klan’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vll8aUALTOs
Sir go comment on Lil Kim’s post……oh wait
Chile IGGY isn’t into ALL THIS DRAMA & quite frankly I’m tired of Tricki GarbAgh style it isn’t even original!! *Scrolls through Lil’KIM Album Credits.. yes’m all Included in Tricki Garbagh’s Song book…aTHEIF SHE IS!!
Obviously you’re tired because you’re on every Nicki post and or any post related to her. **blank stare**
You don’t know what rap is, you’re a bandwagon hip-hop fan, around when a good pop/rap song come through yet you know nothing. Nicki Minaj is Rap, Igloo is trash. and for the record, igloo’s flow and voice is a copy of rasheeda and all the southern female rappers in history who in fact can spit orbits around her. do your f****** researchefore you comment on things you no nothing about.
Flopnika Garbaj is a thief. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vll8aUALTOs
The songs biggie wrote or Eminem and Ti? No wonder u bandwagon ass krim fans like Iggy so much when azealia was bout to drop weren’t y’all riding her? Kiii
Anything better than krim
Even foxy!!!!
Niki not the only female rapper in the world!! I think to use a platform where the conversation was about an unjust murder to comments bashing iggy it only makes you look stupid and racist. People need to stop put her down for being white and in the rap game. The game is for anyone with the means to promote their music successfully wether they wrote the lyrics or not!! Again you would be surprised at who writes their own $h!t or not!!!
Black people in America can’t be recist I can tell ur white
It’s not racist to call someone racist
I see no lies in her tweets. That Billboard article proclaiming her as the “queen of rap” will forever haunt her. The problem with this girl is her inauthentic artistry and being white gives her a pass to make it look like she’s the real deal. I’m glad the likes of J.Cole & Ms Banks see right through the B.S
Everyone has an opinion about Iggy. Meanwhile… She’s cashing checks that we all could only Dream about. I don’t think she really gives AF tbh…
Y’all. I joke a lot on here but it really is not that serious for any rapper. They aren’t curing cancer. They are rapping. Make your albums. Put them out. Make as much money as u can. Live your life. This is really unnecessary and getting to be ridiculous. People popularity comes and goes and always will. The end.
What checks? 90 percent of her money goes to the label and TI. Tell me why is TI on all of her album writing credits? Better yet why is he on the writing credits for fancy? Lmao
I have her album & he’s NOT on any writing credits in her album. Stop.
I don’t know, why does Anaconda have 7 writers?
Because she had to add the writers from the original you dumb b**** you clearly no nothing about music. It was a sample
But the only writer credited on Baby Got Back is Sir Mix-a-Lot. Look it up dumbass.
Once again, Why does Anaconda have 6 writers (7 incl. Sir)?
Leave iggy alone I want rih to do a song with her stop the hate
So now shes on nicki side for once i mean female hip hop always trying to just crown one rapper but lil kim and nicki are beast hands down and iggy just lost banks always spit fire and angel haze as well its room for all i will love to see them on top together any way pink print dec 15 i love banks album too yass
Thank you for posting some of the racist s*** she said!
I don’t see why everyone is attacking Iggy. Like her success is her fault.
Like get over it. When Justin Timberlake and Eminem had success singing black music I ain’t see anyone posting s*** about it.
Maybe because they have talent b****!!
Why isnt she talented?? She isnt a god mc but she has flow and decent bars for what she does.
her flow is a copy of rasheeda and other true southern female rappers. Her lyrics as bad as they are, are ghost written. Yet the media is trying to name her the “queen of Rap” when she hasn’t done half the things Nicki Minaj has. b**** please, wake up and smell the coffee
For once I think she is right. That was my fight though when I first heard about piggy azeala.
Everyone is so bothered by Iggy, it’s sad.
Azealia is lucky everyone is on her side again after BWET (which was actually good, I will admit).
Not really 11k. Blame the media for trying to giver her a crown she didn’t deserve.
13,000 albums sold is not slaying, it is slayed lol. Iggy will never happen. News flash: anyone can win a American Music Award lol. Getting a Grammy s real winner status.
Yet NICKI has ZERO GRAMMYS. The logic. You look & sound so stupid.
But Nicki has won every awards imaginable, and more than once, and has broken down the most barriers in female hip-hop history, soon to be one of the most influential female MCs ever. It has yet to be any female rapper win a grammy for THEIR song…but there has been iconic undeniably talent female MCs. Your logic. You look & sound so stupid. Blame it on the large amount of people who don’t like listening to any female rap.
Azealia never speaks lies, if she and Nicki ever team up, that fraud b**** s***** basicass-alea will be f***** DONE!!! She’s already on her 14th minute and when the calender changes to 15, so will her timer
Eh, at the same time Nicki can’t handle competition. She didn’t open the doors for women in hip hop, she did it for herself. She didn’t reach out to other female rappers to revive or gibe birth to any careers. She wants to be the ONLY, now she can’t have an excuse for flopping or having wack songs because there’s another chick that’s doing it.
I agree, looking back at Nicki’s career, she didn’t open doors for anybody, she opened doors for herself and shut it locked once she got through, and now that there’s another FAKEcee in the game, she is s*** scared.
‘
Nicki cannot handle competition.
B**** please without nicki there would be no iggy and not that many any black people in pop music other than beyonce and ri. Now they all work with rappers thanks to nicki. Your the reason she don’t work with them old b****** bc they don’t give her credit but he she just shouted Trina out on Twitter TODAY. B**** bye
The real reason you’re trying to shade Nicki is because she’s working with Bey. You’re so pathetic. 11k is real competition… GTFOH a and reserve your hate for a Bey post. Kii
Ignorance at its finest!!! You genuinely believe Nicki didn’t open doors for people? You think Piggy, Azealia, DeadLoaf & Tinkerbell etc would even get a look in if Nicki wasn’t around? I mean yeah she didn’t co-sign anyone but that’s not obligatory and no one did for her. These new girls are doing the heel toe through the door Nicki’s fought to re-open!
Yawn, Kim did songs with pop artist. Eve did it with Gwen, Missy was a cross over success and TLC had rap in their music with pop success. Nicki never grab a core, her fanbase is so mixed up, one side want pop the other want rap. Her music is crap, the only artist I know that is great on every song BUT her own.
B**** bye no she did not!!!! Pop music was not call POP back then dumb ass. It was “r and b influenced ” so no b**** she didn’t
right and you forgot about queen latifah she has mainstream success
No one reached out to Nicki so why should she? Nicki is where she is today because she EARNED her spot! No handouts, genuine hard work! Why would she revive anyone’s career, that’s their own responsibility! Kim was immediately pressed as Nicki didn’t bow down and kiss her feet (but has shown love repeatedly if you check) so why would she help her or anyone else out? Nicki didn’t get no love from these women.
Yeah that is true, the only one’s that showed her love upcoming was Trina and Remy, than the other’s jumped in 5 years later now that she’s achieved the title of queen of hip-hop musically and successfully.
I don’t Mark or LB know what “open doors for” mean you don’t have to physically work with an artist to open doors for them, and the proof is that people always saying Kim opened doors for Nic and all these other artist, but when have they ever worked together? Never. Nicki even said Queen Latifah opened doors for her, and when have they ever worked together? Never. She has opened doors forever for many other female MCs because she’s ventured far in, and beyond her rap career showing other female rappers and the public that there are no limitations to your career, you can do whatever you please. There is no doubt that her career will eventually help another female MC progress even farther than she did.
Why don’t these Iggy supporters know how to spell? Maybe she can get TI to help y’all write an educated post.
Where are they lies?!
The machine behind Iggy rivals Taylor and Katy. Iggy doesn’t have a legendary bone in her body but the way she is being propped up, you would think she dropped an instant classic like “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City.”
We need to stop the madness.
*bumps ‘Soda’*
Azealia Banks, you’re more hard working than Nicki is, you blessed our ears with a masterpiece, something hip hop has been lacking from fEMCees since The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
‘
BWET is an amazing piece of artistry, Nicki moved from critical acclaim Pills n Portion to Anaconda, all because Igor got her scared, she used to be good, now she is a joke (have you heard her new song, filled with weak rhymes).
‘
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not an Igor fan myself but T.I does write her some cute pop songs like Beg for it, other than that, I disagree 100% about Nicki, she has got too comfortable and that got her lazy.
Lol @ masterpiece!!!!! I’m dead
Nicki is versatile, she can do it all. I really wish the ignorance would stop about Anaconda, that had NOTHING to do with Iggy, I really don’t understand why you guys say that. Iggy can’t change her own album let alone someone else’s. What new song, All Things Go? It’s literally the INTRO to her album, not designed to show her rap prowess but to simply put her life out there. Express a side people forget is there because they judge her by Anaconda, which was made as a fun song to Twerk to essentially which it succeeded to do.
Your assumptions are comical. Nicki has ALWAYS GRINDED HARD, just because she’s versatile doesn’t means she’s intimidated by another artist, she’s always been versatile. How could you possibly compare TMOLH to BWET? get real.
If you listen to mixtape Nicki and some of her first material when she was just starting, you can hear the raw talent, flow, passion and hard work, listen to her today and it’s one big snooze fest.
‘
She had me fooled too when she dropped Pills n portions and Bed of lies but so far, the material on the Pink print is bland, tasteless, lazy, contrived, and boring. It’s like she’s not trying anymore.
‘
Now you get your act together, your talent atm is unmatched, you’re a beast, get it together.
That’s what I’m saying. I’m from NY so I used to go hard for Nicki back in the day. I miss the sick flow spitting, witty, fun Nicki. The new Icki does nothing for me,
Do us all a favor and don’t support her. Lol.
Plus, if you check spotify, this is Iggy 3rd flop album. She had an album before Fancy. I’ll wait while you do that lol.
That was a mixtape. You’re reaching.
Dej Loaf go harder than all 3 of dem h***. “Let a n**** try me, try me, imma get his whole mafuckin family”
Yeeessss! I love Dej Loaf and Tink
As for Igor, meh, she’s not lasting in this industry. I could call her a Ke$ha but Ke$ha actually managed to score a platinum album.
‘
Nicki on the other hand is going to fall off faster than Ashanti after Murder Inc’s breakup, and the barbs will have the meltdown of the century.
‘
Think, little monsters post Kate Hudson clipping Mother Monsters wings off
Ctfu damn why do you keep mentioning Nicki? You are pressed. She has said time and time again that this is not a album she cares about charting wise. She is telling stories with this one. idk why you expected turn up s*** in the first place.
The Iggy hate is getting so boring. She isn’t a real lyricist at all but neither are most of these rappers on the radio today. She makes cute radio friendly pop jams. Get over it!
Let’s be honest the music industry has been doing this for years. Black artist never get there respect. I think about how Janet and Justin were treated and how he’s hold up to a higher standard than Janet, now imagine if Justin was black. Totally different outcome I believe.
This is becoming pointless, Nicki post are attracting the Beyoncé trolls. You know how they ruin things.. Yall can have it. Lol
Why can’t they just take Iggy out and give us Whitney Huston back.
It is blatantly obvious that the media is trying to declare Iggy the new “Queen of Rap” when she has done absolutely nothing to earn the title. Nicki EARNED her respect by dropping bars. Nothing was handed to her.
If you Iggy fans think she will automatically be respected because she has #1 songs that pop artists overshadow her on, keep dreaming.
So why not be mad at the media instead of Iggy?
Why do we down Iggy when there are artist of color who are a disgrace to the culture but no one says anything about them. I never heard Iggy boast and brag about being number one or being the best, yet folks are always in her c******. Ying Yang twins, yung joc, bobby shmurda, young thug and a host of others who come in at basic on the skill radar… and I dont hear yall saying anything. This girl comes in and grinds hard and has a little success and yall act like she stole it. She loves hiphop… why blame her?? She chose one of the hardest genres to break into because of where she is from and her skin color but she still decided to go with it. Give the girl credit.
b**** she did not grind hard, it was handed to her becuase she’s white. you tired it tho
Thank god for screen cap, those tweets she tried to delete will live on forever. Merry Christmas Iggy.
Where are the lies tho?
I don’t like either of them, but damn did Azealia spill some serious tea. U wanna pretend that you black from down sout with that phoney accent, you should better speak bout racial issues, especially in times like this where white cops get away with murdering black youths THREE TIMES within months
Nicki Minaj is winning but Iggy is ok but let’s she her hold it dwn 5 years in a row and to mention her cd only made 11,000 in sales #Flop
I’m waiting for someone to try and point out the lies
For that dumb h** who said beyonce and nicki them haven’t said anything so leave iggy alone. First off b**** BEYONCE posted on Instagram about the police needing cameras. And what do you know!! THE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES has ask for 300 million in funds to make that happen. Fall back b****
& what did Nicki say?
Drag ha! We were all thinking it, Azealia had the balls to actually say it.
“AND I DARE THAT SHOE-SHINING C*** T.I TO SAY SOMETHING.” Lmao she is going all the way in, yassss!
Those racist tweets are the real iggy. the b**** is fake just like i thought
At the end of the day i think she needs to be more mature…but i really laughed at first tweet and the t.i one
hahhahaha iggy gets dragged almost everyday her time is up her lil 15 minuets of fame is over she’s down to her final 2 minutes
MS. BANKS NEED TO SHUT HER M***** ASS UP!!! IGGY PUT IN WORK! HARD WORK TO GET WHERE SHE IS TODAY! MS. BANKS DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL “HARD WORK” CAUSE SHE AINT PASS 5 GRADE. IGGY IS TOURING AROUND THE WORLD, SELLING MILLIONS OF RECORDS WORLD WIDE, WINNING AWARDS. WHILE MS.BANKS IS HATING BEING A BITTER WOMEN THAT SHE IS. SHE ALWAYS GOTTA BRING RACE INTO STUFF! WHY?… WHY DOES SHE GOTTA BE RACIST ALL THE TIME?
THOSE TWEETS FROM IGGY IS BS. SHE WAS PROBABLY DRUNK AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPEN AT THE TIME. SHE JUST PICK UP HER PHONE AND STARTED TYPING. LEAVE IGGY ALONG WORRY ABOUT YOUR FLOP FAVES WHO BE FLOPPING ON THE CHARTS! WHILE IGGY IS WINNING!
hahHA at you saying she’s selling millions worldwide hahahaha and she hasn’t won that many awards a ama isn’t nothing to brag about lmaoooooooo at the end of the day iggy is a flop biitch who is the joke of the industry
Selling millions of records?? Kiiii
‘She was probably drunk and didn’t know what was happen at the time’? Don’t you dare try to defend her blatant racism and ignorance. Cuz if this was Nicki or even Azealia you’d ATTEMPT to drag forever. Those tweets are the REAL Iggy.
We have real issues gong on in this world and the only thing she could think about is Iggy and her “success” tryna equate someone getting away with murder with Iggys rise, that is the true definition of pressed.
I agree
Yesss
She just mad, ain’t nobody checking for Shabbazealia Ranks…tryna get some press by mentioning Iggy AND Nicki…go make a hit Ms. Banks….goodbye.
Still mad Iggy made “The Source” freshmen issue and you didn’t, I see. Well here’s news for you babe, The Source is a rap periodical that covers the super hard core hip hop genre all the way up to the more mainstream rap stuff. Unfortunately 90’s techno voguing beats and house music are not included in that. Get off Iggy and stop trying to hold into Nicki (for which you went off on before) and just do you mommy. Go promote at every drag show, gay ballroom event and white techno club- that’s who is checking for that kind of music. You’re mad for no reason.
And yet:
The New Classic 56
Broke With Expensive Taste 76
Hun everybody and the momma know that T.I paid for her spot in The Source freshmen issue….
Exactly! WHY are they acting like Iggy was chosen because she was DOPE! She got on because she’s a lyrical beast?! PUUULLLLLEASE!!!!
Really? Everybody knows that? Receipt? DIDNT think so.. And bringing metacritic into the equation means really nothing because im not comparing the two albums. I simply said nobody in the rap hip hop community is here for her house music vogues raps. You’re bringing up irrelevant things Bb
I see no fuxking lies, I fuxk with azealia she always keeps it real, BWET is my s***, Igloo who? she will never happen no matter how much the media try shove her down our throats
Down with that white trash!!!!!!!!!!!! She will probably win a grammy cus she is white and NONE of her music is grammy worthy
Look, A B passed her lie detector test. Yall just have to deal!
That accent is, literally, a form of minstrelsy. If you feel comfortable co-signing that offensive nonsense, have at it. But me, I’ll never go for it.
T.I. should be ashamed of himself.
No lies detected. The irony is that Miss Banks works harder than Nicki. Piggy Azambia sucks.
I agree but Nicki is the most hard-working tho
I don’t even like Azealia, but I’m glad she knows what’s up and recognises that Nicki is Queen!!!
Iggy is releasing better songs than Niki. Niki want to be pop and still want to be a rapper. All Niki singles has been wack.
Well iggy girl you know you made it girl when everyone is coming for you. That’s what black American n***** do once you start making money you’re either gay or in illuninati.no wonder no one have respect for them. Every other ethnic Group unite for the. Betterment of their people no black American N***** they hate success
Word.
