Iggy Azalea has blasted claims that she “blackfished” in the video for her latest single ‘I Am The Strip Club.’
Full story below…
While many fans lapped up the Australian rapper’s latest release, a sect of the net took aim at her arguably darker hue in the visual.
Some even went as far as to claim she was “blackfishing” – the term used to describe those who use external measures to present as Black when they are not.
Taking to Twitter to address the drama, Azalea began:
“I mean anyone online trying to reach and create an issue because I wore a black wig. Don’t even start.”
She continued:
“The internet stay trying to read into sh*t that’s really not that deep. Those people is anyone that has a problem with the fact I wore a black wig and performed in a dimly lit room but have nothing to say about the same makeup in other scenes… not hard to understand
I can’t care about something that ridiculous and baseless. I’m wearing a shade 6 in armarni foundation, it’s the same shade I’ve worn for the last 3 years. It’s the same shade in every music video since sally Walker. Suddenly I wear a black wig in a club scene & its an issue.
I don’t see an issue with Sally Walker, started, fuck it up, Sip it, Brazil or any other look in this music video being spoken about in that way. It’s the same foundation, so anyone who wants to reach can go ahead – y’all (weirdos online to clarify) love to do that, continue!
Or maybe the internet could watch my music video and see for themselves instead of tryna dog me because a random page I have nothing to do with posted an edit? Leave me be, I don’t bother anyone, ppl stay tryna create sh*t outta nothing online. Just BORED.
Fucking hell. It’s always an issue, when it’s ME. I mind my business – just leave me be. Ppl on here love to twist what I do and say and it’s pointless. It changes nothing about my life.”
This is the color I wear, it’s on the arm color of a tan white person.
I’m not wearing crazy dark makeup at ALL.
Everyone in the club scene looks darker, it’s a club scene!
I’m sick of ppl trying to twist my words or make shit a problem when all I’ve done is try a hair color. pic.twitter.com/CGQIOQiWGD— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) July 3, 2021
What are…
I’m over the internet to be honest. Everyone leaves to be ignorant rather than educated.
Iggy do you. You have been minding your own, so continue to do so! Your video is trending and has over a million hits in a day!
They mad!
Lives*
❗❗❗❗❗
I agree!
Miss ughhhh, just go back to your cave. U Stone Age dinosaur 💅🏿 Be gone 🤳🏿
Iggy is QUEEN!!
Iggy feels basic AF in her natural state and thus serving insecure, self hate & witchcraft as much as this heaxus transforms from heaux to another.
Only in America do we celebrate everything bad these calebs promote while bashing regular women who mimic them.
I’m sick of this evil h**. Y’all please check out these two things . First check her out and her first hit song Fancy she clearly says she’s in the Murder Buisness then fast forward to her Sally Walker video where she simply is killing her fans in the video . This Buisness is evil and she is not afraid to show how evil she is , I’ wouldn’t be surprised if she had a basement full of slaves for her blood sacrifices . Ugly ass h**
idoit you slow af Murder Business is talking about killing people with your outfit and looks you backwoods black crusted idoit
I’m over this blackfishing crap. Like literally no on can get a spray tan or what’s so ever. Why does everyone think they are trying to be black for. Like she looks more latina looking than black lol. You don’t see the outcry from latin community saying she Latinafishing 😂.
This.
Latinos can be different shades not whites!
No tan should give iggy that shade of color lol!
Only Hillbillyfishing is lucrative as country fans are loyal buyers.
😂😂😂😂
💀💀💀💀💀
So annoying how people be attacking other more nothing.
Leeeeeeaaave Iggggyyyyy alooonneeeee 😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫😖😖😖😖😖
She’s trying to look ambiguous The face of America is changing from her blue eyes girl image
WE LOVE YOU IGGY!!
You love some piggy 🐷
Ugh, black people always making everything about them and crying nonstop. YAWN!
Then stop copying Black People! Y’all copy everything B.P. dp then steal it and don’t give credit! Imagine how tired we all are. Smh
How is her look coping black people? Her hair is white peoples hair it’s not a messy ugly afro. No white person would want to be black unless they are mentally ill.
UGH NO! BP do not care about Iggy (custe songs and all), but sorry to smash your dreams. We want no parts of her, so no need for this to be about us…. you and keep her thanks.
As for Fancy FISH, tell that to the limp haired Kardashashians or WP every time they put on a “messy” afro wig, cornrow their hair, fill their lips, darken their make up, or inject their bootys, trying to assimilate to BP and OUR CULTURE, heck they even dress like us now…. Cosplay at its finest.
I guess there’s a lot of mentally ill WP huh. Try again.
Not this blog gaslighting by using a super old picture of Iggy…
I really hate the media and these alleged “journalists” SMFH
I love this video and HER
So the f*** what!!
White ppl been tanning for decades
Let them do them…
N***** can turn into women but someone can’t but on makeup that makes them feel beautiful… Based on her persona and image, she would prefer a darker complexion.. so what!!!
I’m black and I find no issue….
Now if she CHANGED her race on documents then I’d have a problem…
Are we cancelling the black women in music of the 40,50,60,70s that wanted to be white?? It’s many of them just google..
Let this pasty white queen be a queen
Dumb asf!
Iggy & Khloe are real life shape shifters. Trust & believe these h/o/e/s are into sorcery. The deception by them is otherworldly.
I’m always curious if they’re able to unlock a phone using facial recognition as much as they add & remove body parts like Mr. & Ms. Patato head.
💯😆
FAKE NEWS< whos actually talking about Iggy or this song? Definitely not BP we dont care. Trying to create fake contraversy for the song.
What WP people need to do is stop trying to push this narrative BP are always talking or crying about this or that to diminish actual REAL situations where situations actually happen.
BP do not care about Iggy or her damn WIG, like really!
I'm very sure it's 99% WP who making trying to push this on us. BYE.
Well, there is a lot of comments here proving otherwise. BP needs to get a hobby or something because all they do is spread evil.
She is the new and ultimate “ Queen of Rap” . Cardi B is the Empress of Rap while Lil Kim is the Goddess of Rap. Nicki Minaj is …. Hmmmmm I might have to pass on that one😂😂😂
