Iggy Azalea is taking to Twitter yet again to defend herself from naysayers who aren’t exactly on board with her brand of hip hop.
For, just days ago, rapper Eve and songstress Jill Scott joined the ranks of a growing list of emcees and entertainers including Q-Tip, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, Eminem, and more, who have expressed displeasure with the Aussie hitmaker’s “blaccent” (Black accent) and overall image.
Their message did not fall on deaf ears, however. And, despite not singling the ‘With This Ring’ duo out, it’s pretty clear the two were included in Azalea’s mass reminder and defense of her authenticity.
See it below:
Via Iggy Azalea’s Twitter:

Longtime fans of the Aussie hip hopper know this isn’t the first time Eve has lent her disapproval. Back in 2012, the “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” maestra took to an interview to give fans a piece of her mind:
“I’m not really into the Iggy Azalea chick. I can’t really fuck with her music, but her look is crazy. I just can’t believe it.” – Eve (source)
To which Azalea responded:
“I like Eve,” she said. “I used to be like, ‘It is real, let me prove it to you. Now, I don’t care if you think it’s real or not because it’s what I love, it’s my life. I don’t give a fuck if you think I am or not ’cause that girl in the crowd understand it and that’s who it’s for, if you don’t then it’s not for you.” – Iggy Azalea (source)
IGGY STOP CRYING ON TWITTER JUST STOP
IGGY keep making those hits And keep making that MONEY!! TGJ tried it making seem as if she was calling them out or going on a Twitter rant and she just spoke Volumes on stereotypes on her PLATFORM as aCELEBRITY which so happened to be TWITTER!! Let’s just hope her music speaks the same !! I ROCK WITH THIS CHICK AND IM BLACK!! EVE BY THE WAY SHE BE COMING AT THE CHICK THAT CALLED EVERY SINGLE LAST CHICK IN THE GAME CALLING THEM WASHED UP B****es BUT THE CHICK WAS SILENT ON PAUSE DONT HATE ON IGGY CAUSE SHES ACTUALLY SHINNING WITHOUT SUPPOSEDLY “SHITTIN ON U H***s” She’s killing the GAME WITHOUT “SELF” Proclaiming it!!!!!! Sip on that tea
Girl please!!!! Iggy is a straightt up PUPPET who is doing what she is told so that she can collect coins. You really believe that this “hustle” is from her?! Please!!!! Iggy is fake as f$&@! That’s why her accent goes from “hood/ghetto” and then back to her Australian voice. I know u have seen “Buckwild” from Flavor of Love, they turn off/on that accent when it is convenient for them. I seen right through her with her first song and my opinion has not changed!!! Keep doin what massa says, Iggy. That’s really the ONLY reason why u r “famous” -_-
Eve ass is married to a white man who acts black really eve gtfoh your own kind did not even buy your album so blacks did not support your s*** the ones you call real hip hop these has been rappers are mad black people don’t support their ass bye eve ur wacky ex stripper ass have no rhymes stop hating on another Woman cause she white and raps when people like her do this I go support iggy I’m not even iggy fan and ps even your movie on lifetime was whack as hell stfu
I’m sick of this fraud!
Just go away girl.
“Everybody wants to be black until it’s time to be black…”
Janet been out longer 11 years longer clocking 41 years to madonnas 30 and janet almost 10 years younger. Janet made the better records with versatilty janets the queen of pop with madonna….ha no matter what and how long jabet gone…when they say madonna is the queen of pop janet name will always come up as the rightful queen madonna owns controvesy on her own but not pop sorry janet was alway better in all areas stage, voice, records, youthful looks body janet got number 1s in all genres madonna just pop. White and black is the factor a bish gotta work 10x harder than her whute counterparts to get the same respect…
I’m sorry but nobody cares hun… Madonna is old and Janet is a has been. Im sure they where both “popping” back in the day but its 2015 now. goodnight
I agree w/ OP but What does that have to do with this post?
Anyway, Iggy is not believable because how do you rap differently than you speak? b**** rapping is talking to a beat
anyway, none of this s*** really matters until she delivers a critically acclaimed album she’s just a fad
idk why ppl are so pressed vanilla ice had a hit single, too & fizzled out with nothing to show for it
ppl promoting her & don’t even know it
b!tchh u said that and quite as kept, u are so right.
Stfu with your analysis all you black ass racist on here want separate us with music who should sing what gtfoh with your hate for white people so what if a white person sing soul but none of u come for Sam smith u know why because the gays would punk ur asses its easy to shade white women when will blacks learn that whites win because they support each other madonna iggy Justin Taylor and Miley ur hating don’t help these people will always win if Janet Jackson put out a album tomorrow your whack black ass would not support so sit your broke niggerett ass down always complaining online
that is YOUR opinion. janet Queen? gtfo lol i guess having the most #1s across the billboard charts, sold more records than any other female artist, has more top ten hits than any other solo artist, selling out stadiums with tour of the year #1, #2 & #7 spots respectively amongst females doesn’t make her queen lol Ya go watch Janet struggle to fill concerts in THEATRES and i’ll go watch Madonna fill stadiums.
Madonna not only attracts MUCH audiences willing pay top dollar for her expensive concert tickets, but she has sold over 100 million more ALBUMS than Janet. Face it, the public and media has spoken and they chose Madonna…not Janet. The only reason Janet ever had a career in the first place is because of her last name, who her brother was and because of a hit producing team that gave her hits that she couldn’t come up with herself. And when her deck chairs fell out of order, her career instantly died. Madonna is an icon and legend who still commands attention, Janet is a has been who can’t even get arrested and was forced into early retirement because people stopped caring.
Janet’s been irrelevant and over for a long time now. Madonna is well past her peak but her name has more value. If there was ever a competition between the two, Madonna won.
Love iggy but eve is the last word
She needs to stop responding to everyone’s opinion,makes her look insecure.Her response wont change anyone’s opinion.Get over it and move on.Ugg her tweets though,shes the biggest cry baby.
And no one cares about yours. Bye.
She gotta speak though cause they keeping her relevent. If the hate her dont show no attention. But they secretly love fancy
ONCE AGAIN, crying on twitter.
Why doesn’t she actually attempt to make “A New Classic” instead to responding to every single one of her detractors.
Look Iggy, everybody is not going to like you. It’s okay. Just produce the best music you possibly can, stay off of twitter, and do you.
UGH!!!!!
EXACTLY she needs to spend all that energy on her music.she is a newcomer and already showing she cant handle the criticism.The industry will eat her alive.
Lmao…says the person who trolls this site. You’re pathetic. You need to take your energy and provide for your 6 children. Carry on.
Why can’t she address the criticism honestly? It’s valid! Fergie has flavor, so does Gwen stefani. Megan trainor is basically rapping. They are more authentic. It’s not because she’s white and wants to be in hip hop. People sense something false about her, and instead of explaining herself once and shutting it down she keeps talking in circles because she has nothing to say. Eve was VERY polite and encouraging.
What? LOL.
“Sensing” something inauthentic doesn’t mean the person is actually being inauthentic. Outside of claiming she is who she is, there’s really no way for her to “prove” she’s being authentic. Literally everything she has said people have picked apart and tried to trash her for. It’s OK for people to s*** talk her, but it’s not OK for her to respond.
*rolls eyes to the back of head* *looks @ calendar* 11 more months(hopefully) to go before this racist cry baby is a fad!!
Girl maybe you need to gEt on Twitter and drag her. Seems like you have lots of time to spew hate towards people online . Read ha!
Girl maybe you need to try & find out who your daddy is. Seems like you’ve went all your life without knowing him. Hence the reason your so bitter!!
I feel sorry for your parents Hun… Or should I say PARENT!!!! Your mom would be so disappointed. Not only in you for being pathetic but in herself for not choosing to stick that wire hanger up her püssy and scrambling that egg (you) inside of her. Hell it’s not like she knows who the father was anyway. But then again she wouldn’t have been able to get her food stamps or 4 bedroom section 8 apartment for $25 bucks so, hey.

You guys sound stupid saying she should stop responding to ppl, when you’re not saying ppl should stop discussing her. I love Eve but find it funny that she’d speak on Iggy but has yet to speak on Nicki, who she has thrown several subliminals at. Iggy has to be the most talked about artist since MJ went through those charges. Being pressed won’t take away the fact that ppl like her!
U must be delusional… there are ALOT more talked about entertainers than Iggy.
Rita Whora of course!!
You’re dumb and basic. She SHOULD stop responding to people. Look at the wonders it’s done for Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. They used to ALWAYS respond to people whether indirectly or directly. And now that they don’t, it makes them more likeable in my opinion. Also Eve AND Jill Scott have shaded Nicki in the past and Jill Scott was even dragged on Twitter for it. So keep your basic thoughts to yourself!
Didn’t Nicki just publicly on Twitter call Safaraee corny.?. Or at least consign lil duval and didn’t her and Meek Mill make subliminal shots at each other on Twitter just last week!? I’m confused girl because what you’re saying is false.
@Cough Cough Yes she did, but she hasn’t been doing it a lot recently. Only when it’s something personal. She’s obviously in her feelings when it comes to her love life. But if this was Nicki in 2012, she would be responding to BS left and right on Twitter or her music. But she’s not. Before she would listen to this crap her fans would tweet at her and respond to somebody she didn’t need to respond to. Now she barely does. Iggy however responds to EVERYONE with her “better than you” attitude. Even the super basics like Lil Debby and Kreayshawn. When what she should be doing is ignoring them.
Well honey like is said your statement insinuated that Nicki Minaj had stopped responding to stuff and sending subliminal criticism when she just did it a couple days ago. Your comment is null and void 100% .
BOOBIE, shut your punk ass up! You’re contradicting yourself. You can’t be biased, it just makes you look desperate – which you are, clearly. You need to get a life.
@carlitos How am I contradicting myself? I never said Nicki stopped addressing situations on Twitter…I said she used to ALWAYS do that…like every little situation…just like Iggy…and now she doesn’t. Yall dirty HO(s) need to learn how to read before responding to people. The situation with her ex boyfriend is like ONE incident in the past few months or so. Iggy has had about 10 in the past 2 months. NOW BIITCH EAT THIS P****!!!
And what about the situation with Meek Mill? Let’s not hun cause Nicki is a serial rambler on Twitter. You tried though
@Cough Drop Damn you be CHECKING for Nicki. First off, no one knows who the hell that tweet was about. She said Meek Mill is her FRIEND. Those tweets were not for him. Stop reaching. YOU TRIED.
She told no lies though. I can dig it girl, I can dig it. You address things without coming off as ignorant or rude, which I cannresoecyt. You coulda started saying shady things and talking wreck less but you simply do what EVERYONE does on Twitter, voices their opinion except
You do it in a way that’s not rathchet.
Exactly!
I’m totally over her and all the drama. It’s boring now
1-Eve-A has been, who looks like a Pit Pull, who married a millionaire to stay afloat “That dude must be on some s***, I mean Eve, ugh” needs to stfu.
2-Jill scott- A never been, with her basic ass voice, who looks like Walrus, also needs to stfu.
In conclusion, Iggy’s winning, and flop b****’s every where are seething.
Eve & Jill Scott are legends in the game they both sold millions world wide…. One album from Either of these ladies outsells Iggy’s career instead of complaining on twitter she should focus on pushing her album so it could at least go Gold!!! Eve & Jill has nothing to prove .
This child needs to learn how to STFU tbh…
Why should she, when she’s the one being discussed, and she’s merely defending herself. FYI, no shade, I love reading your comments, you’re hilarious, even when you’re at times wrong. You’re a doll, Kisses.
I find Iggy repulsive. Her music is wack. But I think people should start saying “no comment” when asked about her.
They are going to start constructing a false, victim narrative about her that will only make her more famous. Call it the “Taylor Swift Effect” if you like.
And by the way, there is absolutely nothing “complex” about her. That was a good laugh though.
Your theory could almost apply, but the only difference is that Taylor swift is talented and deserves all her accolades.
I’m truly convinced shes trying to make everyone hate her in the hip hop community.
Send her back to the hood!
Oh god live this woman alone, it’s not like she’s winning or anything. She is selling 50K and 11K, that’s nothing to be threatened with. But then again lip lock opened with….Imma just leave that one alone
*leave
Eve is on an indie label yeah she opened with 9k and it stands at 200k now… But Iggy has a major deal and still not Gold Eve been there done that….sold millions and chillin she has nothing to prove
Girl the lies. Lip lock ain’t nowhere near 200K
Lip lock 200K?! Child where your receipts???? Cause it didn’t chart no where else. Sit ur crazy ass down plz
She likes to run her mouth on twitter because she knows she would get that fake ass kicked in if she said most of the ish she said on twitter to these peoples faces.
Somebody needs to bust her right in her mouth. Ugh!
That’s it, I’ve had it! *dials Immigration*
Lol
If she is this easy to get a response out of, wait til the Grammys. I’m telling ya, if she wins a award for best hiphop album she better log off quickly. Cause twitter and instagram is gonna be dragging her worse than Snoop did. She has no tough skin whatsoever.
She wouldn’t be responded if she didn’t have tough skin. She’s handling it just fine. You don’t see her chasing after any other artist and saying negative things about them, do you? Again, chase – that’s the keyword. These hating b!tches are pathetic.
You know if she wins I so encourage Kayne West to go on stage and repeat history, but this time I strongly believe he would get a standing ovation. Gawd if she wins imagine the uproar?!
I’m just trying to understand if that “blaccent” is so “real”why doesn’t she talk like that all the time like during her interviews? can she get on twitter and explain that to us please.
I doubt she’ll care. I mean whilst she’ll be counting her millions, those broke no life twitter thugs will be tweeting from the job centre.
‘
Evidence of the youth unemployment rate in America I guess.
Exactly…
Hey pot, meet the kettle. **blank stare**
She comes off as a big cry baby, like i’m gonna get on twitter and cry my eyes out because someone gave their opinion of me. grow the f up and toughen up bit. not every one is gonna bow down to you or like you.
I don’t understand why everyone hates Iggy. America is always talking about bullying, but it seems that everyone bullies that girl for no reason. If you don’t like her music, then don’t listen. I personally would not buy an Iggy album, but I would possibly purchase a single because make decent radio bops. I low-key love how she make instants hits as well.
When was the last time Eve had a platinum album? I thought so.. Let this chick live. I hope she gets more success.
Eve is chillin she ain’t worried about that … Eve been there done that….
When is the Last time Iggy had a platinum album. Never!!! I thought so.
Americans are so strange…….how can u like a white chick from Australia that pretends to be a black girl from the ghetto….it’s a mistery 2 me. It’s not like Madonna, who’s from Michigan and speaks with a british accent. Madonna has been living in England since 2000, 15 years, so it’s annoying but I could understand, in that case. But Madonna, however, SPEAKS with a different accent, this chick “RAPS” with a different accent. She’s a fraud, and black community should reject her. I mean, you got Lil Kim, MC Lite, Salt & Pepa, Remy Ma, Missy Elliott, Nicky Minaj and Azealia Banks (the last two are the best female rappers around right now) and you took this trash to number one? Meh……
Girl shut up and stop generalizing black folks, not all “ghetto” black folks speak a certain way and last I checked she doesn’t walk around acting like she is a thug b***** nor does she rap about a hood life or thug s****. She simply raps with a southern twang. If you listen to the content maybe you’d be able to comment with a little bit more clarity because what you’re saying makes no sense at all.
Where did i say “all ghetto black people” though? i think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. And if you listens to some of her lyrics from her mixtapes shes clearly raps about a lot ghetto things like giving beck, and how her chains hang low etc..
Yeah babe those aren’t hood things. Those are regular things. Giving beck is giving head which majority of the female s** does and a low hanging chain? Lol. Please. Like I said if she was frontin like she was a black girl or pretending to be some hood thug then I could understand your statement but she never has done that and the examples you said don’t back up your statement
Imma keep 100, I don’t feel like this thing is about race. First of all since I was a little kid watching movies like beat street and breaking, hip hop has always been about battling,rivalries, & beefs. I can go all the way back to the LL Cool J vs the Cool Moe Dee days of beefing. So what if Azealia Banks or who ever says something towards her, she needs to stop whining and bitching over it. WTF having a #1 single or selling so many albums have anything to with it? I remember Ja Rule had hits too until 50 cent came along. Beefing is all part of the game in hip hop. Every time somebody says boo, Iggy go running to T.I or go b**** about it on twitter. If she can’t handle this game she needs to choose a different occupation.
People are acting like this woman just scanned diamond. Who cares! And I’m sick of Uggly making statements and tweet about what she “doesn’t care” about. It’s a new year, I’m telling ya’ll, she’s not crossing into it. I will say this tho, a few years ago, Nicki was on everyone’s toung, EVERYONE’S. So this is part of it. Have T.I write your thoughts in your next song.
She’s not emotionally built for Hip hop tbh, they got her crying out on the Twitter ever 5 minuets. if she keeps this up every time someone gives their opinion on her she gonna end up having a psychotic breakdown
Oh man, I so hope and pray that Iggy Iggs wins a Grammy, so I can see every last hater s*** their pants. LOLOL.
She raps like she is from Atlanta and “born in the hood & ratchet” when she’s from Australia. Many rappers rap in their native languages and so create their own lane of expression. All Iggy does is puts on a facade & a “minstrel” show and in this system of capitalism, she received major success because of the attractive packaging. Changing lyrics to call yourself a “s**** master” and among other things is extra.
“Watch Iggy win the Grammy as I try to crack a smile” – J. Cole
She’s an entertainer and many entertainers aren’t how they portray themselves in their music. Honestly Probably 1/2 the acts. Iggys just an easy target but I don’t buy into it because if I really think about it with one hundred percent facts, most rappers are putting on a fake act. Prime examples: Rick Ross the gangster boss yet Ex correctional(police) officer. So .
Im pretty sure Rick Ross and anyone else thast being fake in the indusrty get’s called out on thier bs just like iggy is going throught right now.
Naw, Rick Ross had a tiny tiny amount but to pretend to be some hood, gangster mafia lord when you’re really just an ex cop is much worse. And he’s got basically 1% as much back lash. And I could bring up many many more fake wanna be personas in rap. Stop acting like everyone is so authentic and Iggy is the only one with a different rap persona then actual persona because that’s 100% not the case
It’s not a persona it’s a gimmick and a quick goodle search will pull up just as many articles if not more on rick ross being exposed and you’re right iggy isn’t the only fraud but the others haven’t pissed off different races of people with offensive tweets and by mocking them with a fake hood accents in their music.
*google
@Truth first off, can you stop trolling please? You that desperate to express your anger? You and that “Sanity” character below have the same avatar which means you used the same email and just changed your name. Clocked. Secondly, show me where fellow rap artists are calling him out? Show me where people are attacking him repeatedly for months on Twitter about his authenticity. Show me where rap legends are thing to school him on the authenticity of rap and to be himself. Exactly. You can’t. But let’s not even get into that lets just focus on getting you not to troll on a blog . That’s step 1
No way r u lying?!
Ahahaga that’s made my week. He acts like he sunnat that verse in Nicki’s I’m A Leader going on went bk to the hood in $2M Mercedes ha and that b******* Billionaire ha WHO DAT WHO DAT???
No little girl no one is trying to stereotype u. When u talk in one accent and u are around a particular type of people and 5 hen when u rap u take on another accent, a different persona then that is considered fake or phony. Ur lyrics sound like T.I. wrote them, ur body is fake and u ha en been credited with some racial quotes in the past. So yeah, put that together and people will not like u. Simple
Yo “Sanity” why do you have the same avatar as the commenter “Truth” who is above you ? Oh that’s because you’re a trollllllllllllll! Babe you must be real lonely
Why are you trolling using my name tho?
Finally changed your email huh?
http://youtu.be/pOEicMoJIlo
still using my name huh?
Someone needs to tape up this broads mouth to make her shut the fuq up. She needs to learn how to take criticism and not try and address every single person that has something say about her, cos she really is digging her own grave.
– so she’s beefing azealea banks – who really doesn’t have that many actual fans except eurotrash queens, but she has pretty much the whole hip hop community on her side with the ‘appropriation’ debate
– disrespecting Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, who are one of the most legendary hip hop groups of all time
– beefing Eve who again paved the way for female mc’s in the late 90’s
– beefing Solange (who really hasn’t done much) but is still Beyonce’s lil sister, and therefore has the Beygency behind her
– beefing Jill Scott who reps all of the underground neo soul singers
She really is the superficial blonde that can’t handle criticism and get’s hurt over every little comment, and it’s going to come back and bite her in the cellulite.
People say Gaga take it too personal when people slamming her, but all gaga did is response with a class and most of the times she didn’t response at all. which is a good thing.
Now look at iggy floplea, every time she’s getting dragged she’s going crazy and explain herself like she’s a victim. This bish need to grow up and stop entertaining those haters, every word she’s spitting on twitter will eventually coming back at her. SHE IS WAYYYYY TOO DRAMATIC. not everyone gonna fancy you so you might wanna just keep making music.
But Iggys response have a level or normalcy. She could be ignorant and rathchet but she doesn’t. She replies poised and doesn’t disrespect anyone she simply says what she has to say
It’s not even her responding, it’s someone from her team.
Troll
stop using my name troll
Eve please.
If people would ignore her maybe she would go away
Iggy don’t want it with Eve of Destruction.
Eve would destroy her in 16 bars.
It would really only take One bar lol. People have the NERVE to try to come at Eve and Jill Scott, like they care. They didn’t say anything that bad about her & Eve kinda defended her too. They were classy with their opinions. At least Eve didn’t do what Rah Digga did to Iggy. People kill me only focusing on ONE thing someone says and running with it instead of the whole thing.
This chick is dumb, what kept Elvis, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Tina Marie and Joe Cocker forever relevant in Black Music was the high level of respect they had for the culture and the people, these were true lovers of black music who became a part of it, what killed Vanilla Ice, Justin Bieber and what will kill her if she’s not careful is the clapping back at Black artist who actually are not criticising her as a person but just some of her musical choices or her lack of knowledge in Hip Hop, she never actually mentions the reasons people come for her she just mouthes off. She can get away with it with Azealia cos she’s a new artist but when you come for Black Legends like Jill Scott, Q Tip, Eve your going to lose your black card and once that happens the white kids that follow you will move on cos your not considered cool anymore, at the moment she’s taking the unapologetic root cos she thinks she has her white audience so who case if black hip hop does not like me, she is slowly burying her own career,
Elvis used to take black musicians and steal their dance moves, steal their songs and ideas. What are you talking about?
that is true but that was not known at that time, at the time marketing wise, he always used lack musicians .BV’s and always spoke of how he was bought up and inspired by black music, to be honest EVERY white act in those times stole songs from black artist, a black singer would often be signed by a label. record material and then shelved only to have there own songs given to white artist on the label!
I am an Azaleian and I love Iggy because she keeps it 100 (as her song states available on iTunes)clap back at the trolls especially eve tired ass
Tell this fvcking cow to stfu already. She’s Australian trying to sound like she’s from the states. You’re sing-song rhyming, hun. The accent doesn’t just disappear. We hear it coming through and then you push it back down. Go away already.
You sho is ugly Ceeli
She really think she’s black? SMH
I’m latino, I didn’t know these black people only known in USA (azalea banks, eve, q-tip, jill scott, etc…) the only thing I can say is: I started to love hip hop thanks to iggy!
Hip hop doesn’t want you! What does you being Latino has to do with anything. Your statement implied that you can identify with Iggy. You’re not white. Lol
LEAVE IGGY ALONE! I’m black and you guys are so racist! She loves our culture and music. You act like if you white make only white music and if you black make on black music or if your Asian make only that music.. Stop trying to stop someone dream that what to be different!
Shut up! Igry sucks and needs her ass kicked and how are blacks racist when she is the one that sent out those racist tweets and called herself a runaway s**** master?
Wtf are you guys gonna say when C.L. Makes her debuet in America this way.
Racism is okay if you’re black. Iggy is who she is. Move on racists
She needs to STFU
