The ghosts of Iggy Azalea‘s past continue to affect the way in which she is treated by her detractors.

For, even after apologising for publishing several homophobic and racist tweets before her ascent to fame, the rapper finds herself unable to shake talk that it was her race and not her lyrical ability which lies at the heart of her short-lived chart success.

She was reminded me of this recently.

Watch what happens when she comes face to face with a “fan” keen to “thank” her for what she has done for Hip-Hop music below…

If you were NOT moved by Jesse Williams AWESOME speech at the #BETAwards, YOU are part of the PROBLEM!’ – Yolanda Adams

Belacalis ‘Cardi B’ Almanzar is in a peculiar space.

Rising to fame via fifteen-second Instagram rants, the 20-something now finds herself heralded as ‘Love & Hip Hop New York’s leading lady after she joined the series’ latest season.

How she’s dealing with it all?
