After tip-toeing one week closer to doing so, it’s pretty safe to say Iggy Azalea doesn’t exactly fancy fellow rapstress Lizzo‘s chances of unseating her 2014 Charli XCX-assisted hit from history books.
On Monday (September 30), Billboard announced Liz (born Melissa Jefferson) had earned a fifth consecutive week at #1 on the Hot 100 with her breakout hit, ‘Truth Hurts.’ Extending its record as the longest running unassisted chart-topper by a female rapper (click here to read more), the song is now only three weeks shy of breaking the all-time record among femcees for longest running #1 overall.
Taking to Twitter to celebrate the news, Lizzo posted:
Azalea didn’t exactly appreciate Jefferson’s intentional failure to mention her. Feeling slighted, the Grammy nominee clapped back with:
Hopping to the defense of Lizzo, some fan weigh-ins even earned a clap back from Iggy Iggz as well (photo courtesy of TSR):
As noted in Azalea’s Twitter handle, by that point she’d changed her name to encourage fans to stream ‘Senorita’ – the Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello collaboration. The duet currently sits at #2 on the Hot 100 after ‘Truth Hurts’ unseated it weeks ago. If it returns to #1 it will block Lizzo from breaking Iggy’s current record of longest-running chart-topper among female rappers (7 consecutive weeks).
I’m dead. Lizzo was shady AF and Iggy’s reply was messy. I’m living for it though
But wait, is Iggy shading Charli xcx too?? What happened with them?!
Chile, let me tell it lol…first of all, Iggy supports Charli…Senorita is co-written by Charli ? Think about the chorus to Senorita…it’s SO Charli…but I remember back in the day arguing with people who said Charli was the reason Fancy went #1…ok, but why is Charli’s personal music still DRY in these streets after all these years? Why does her new album sound like meh and hype? Lizzo is on Charli’s new album that just flopped (so far)…Charli said she was born in the wrong era lmao…that might be true, but homegirl’s personal music isn’t all that anyway…she’s a great songwriter for other people ? Then, here comes Lizzo with the same kind of shade after all these years…baby, Iggy went platinum, Charli went plastic…so there’s that…love Fancy tho! Iggy and Charli should hook back up in my opinion…big Lizzy doing her thang, but she needs to keep it all the way cute! I’m streaming Senorita tho, so Charli gets her check and Iggy might keep her neck ? ?
Dead. ?
But yes. Iggy and Charli need to link back up. I had no idea Charli wrote senorita
Bc ppl buy into personalities not music Charli doesn’t have the it factor to be a major pop girl just like Bebe but she’s a great writer
Facts
How was Lizzo shady?
I really wander what schools teach kids these days how can Iggy be so stupid that she couldn’t comprehend what Izzy said wasn’t shade?? She complimented the song as a whole but at the same time thought her friends part was genius so people should stream her solo stuff based of her “genius” on fancy, what’s hard to understand about that?
Wow, the fact that you are talking s*** about someone’s writing. But yet you didn’t proofread… It’s “wonder” my dear! ?
Can we all just get along. ??♂️
Lizzo is selling her song for 69 cents but nobody saying anything about it
She also released a remix of truth hurts feat da baby when the song stalled at number 2, nobody saying anything about it.
Keep the same energy for Camila.
camicky Is no talent. Flop songs can’t even reach top 40 after WEEKs on the chart and hopping on Shawn song. Flop face. Flop dancing skills. 2nd album is DOA.
Well it does seem as tho lizzo was trying to be shady so im with Iggy on this one she has a right to throw shade right back to the sender and Lizzo getting a little bit big headed just like Nicki
Lizzo think she the s*** now I see. Keep that same energy in court with ole girl you blasted because u didn’t get your food. Somebody check on cuppcake.
Guess I’ll be streaming Truth Hurts all this week ?
SAME
You can’t cancel the cancelled but it can equal a un cancellation. Iggy is the internet she is talented & the most viral female rapper to ever exist. lizzo on her Very Very Very Large platform made a completely obvious & shady choice to not acknowledge iggy for the rap contributions she gave to her own record fancy ! That was absolutely disgusting and completely uncalled for. Me my family and friends Will be streaming Señorita on multiple devices. I hope postmates sue lizzo for putting that woman’s life in danger as well
Lizzo is wack and thirsty for a hit record
Yet she has a hit record while Iggy stays being a culture vulture cracker and robbing black people of their culture no womder why shes been kicked out the charts lmao
Lizzo is a cocky fat ass b****
Iggy is white can out rap many b****** is coined and ETCHED in history b****** can’t take the queen of rap
the only thing Iggy can outshine people on is being a flop, culture vulture cracker and robbing black women of their own culture she’s been kicked out the billboards already get over it her white fake ass ain’t good
I think lizzo sucks. I don’t find anything great about her. Besides telling everyone to be obese and eat all the food you want. Theirs nothing great about her at all. Everything is shock tactics with her.
The irony of that fat shaming comment when you repping Xtina tho ?
Except Xtina is not as big as 5 houses and a farm like lizzo’s obesed arrogant ass.?
I dunno what to make of this. Like them both. Can’t appreciate what either of them said about each other tho. Keep streaming Cuz I Love You and In My Defense!
All the hate in the comments for Lizzo, when she wasn’t even shady…She just wasn’t thinking about Iggy.. Iggy came out super messy on this one, but the trolls on the internet will have her back. Lizzo is still unbothered, but it’s stupid to call someone out for NOT saying someone’s name.
they will always look to give back lash towards a black woman and actually black people but would always hype up.a white caucasian who just culture appropriates and ain’t nothing but a wannabe
Lol this is stupid. This time next year lizzo’s fat ass is gonna be in the one hit wonder bin right next to iggy so they’re both wasting their time lol.
Iggy Australia is pure s..h..i..t…. and Charli XCX is the #1 factor in her entire career with one hook. Iggy is the real definition of a culture vulture rapping in an entirely different accent and dialect! American culture vulture and hip hop culture vulture! Her fans are delusional. Her Billboard career is literally over. Imagine an American born/raised person going to Australia and rapping or singing in an fake Australian accent and dialect to appeal…..my point exactly. WACK! Now she is trying to rob a black woman of her own culture success!!!!!
