The rapper Jidenna was forced to pay the rapper Iggy Azalea for using portions of her #1 single ‘Fancy’ to create his rising jam ‘Classic Man.’
Great for Iggy? It would be…if it was for true.
Confused?
Details below…
In an interview with Hot 97, Jidenna and his mentor Janelle Monae cleared up the rumours surrounding the myth above as it spreads online.
The former broke it down for those who were confused by it all.
Some of the people have said Iggy Azalea is getting paid off this record. I’ve seen that a lot. The truth is, we actually didn’t sample it. But ever since the decision of Robin Thicke and Pharrell, we believe that it was important to make sure that we are safe.
The rapper was referring to the legal battle between Thicke, Pharrell and the family of Marvin Gaye who successfully sued the ‘Blurred Lines’ pair for using the late singer’s music to build the controversial number.
There’s more.
For, when addressing claims Jidenna had stolen from Iggy Monae shared the following thought:
She steals from us, so we steal back.
What Monae is reffering to?
Watch the interview below…
Janelle needs to simmer down. This is the first time I’ve ever felt negative about her. How are you going to say we didn’t sample her but still be compensating the white girl?
HASHTAG: #IDontUnderstand
Sweatheart, have you never heard of a settlement? It’s just a move in the interest of good business.
LMAO!I live for Haus Mutha Monae!
Lordy everyone wants to blame Iggy Azaela, Im a fan so carry on!
She’s so pressed
Lol no one and I mean no onelikes that girl Iggy! She can’t catch a break. Lol
Jidenna looked at Janelle like b**** shut up with the race s*** before my career end before it gets started lmmfao.. Jidenna word of advice get out while u can.
What truly petty woman. Grow the f*ck up b1tch. And then we have that clown Azelia talking sh1t about a White girl while rocking White girl hair smfh!
Exactly what is “white girl hair”? I’m really interested.
Hair that can move in the wind.
Janelle Monae is such a beautiful woman who soul glows. From the way she articulates her words, to the message of her content, she is nothing short of a diamond crafted through pressure. Simply, she is perfection in human form.
Truth is I never thought of fancy while listening to that record
I don’t take that Azealia Banks girl serious at all. He did all that crying about Iggy just because she’s JEALOUS. Yet she kicks it with Lil Debbie, she’s a walking contradiction. The only thing Yall can say Iggy “steals” is her accent. Like what she supposed to sound like after living in the south since she was 16. It’s called influence. No different than Adele or Sam smith singing in American accents. Dosent mean they tryna be black.
About Sam Smith and Adele, they aren’t trying to sound Black, u mean to say American.. Just to clear that up.. Also, Azealia Banks isn’t jealous, far from it, seriously any person jealous of Iggy Azealia are probably her peers from high school, that’s all, no one else can fit in that category!
Hmmm does iggy own the rights? I just assumed the songs had the same producer
Yes she does. Iggy has a publishing deal which means she writes her own music and gets majority of her money off her songs. Janelle needs to keep it cute because if iggy really wanted to she could take them to court and get even more.
Again black people hate on iggy cuz she’s white
you can keep on trying to find excuses but we see the truth – it’s called – racism
yes for your suprise racism is not only against black people and by the way music is universal so grow the f*ck up with all this Possessive s*** about hip hop/rap long gone are the days when it was just a black american thing! and you should be proude about that. and if she wants to mix it with pop like nicki she can do it who the f*ck are you to say anything?
LOL “stealing from us” says the one who has a song about yoga which is a indain thing!
we are living in a time when everything is universal, it’s time to growup b*tch.
Atleast learn to f****** rap and not sound like a fishwife. And it is kinda funny to us who actually grew up with the styles, people like that are more like bandwaggon jumpers with no ear, vocally.
who is monae to even part her lips to talk about IGGY??? monae is a huge FLOP GIRL PLEASE SIT DOWN SUMWHERE
Exactly. When has one of her albums been certified anything? I don’t see her on the RIAA website. I see iggy though
Who cares?!? Iggy is done anyway, (2014-2015) ????????????????
Kiii More like (2014 – 2014).
Bitter racist b**** I hope she get some bad illness and dies slowly.
You’re a disgusting p**
No honey pigs are not disgusting and neither am I just RACIST c#nts like her and you.
Why are we still even talking about Piggy? She’s done, move on. I did say I give her one year coz these wacky h*** could get hot for one summer after that the Queen will still reign here. Oh by the way… Classic Man >>>> Flop-cy
I guess the same reason why people still talk about that desperate s**** onika.
Nicki Minaj next. Can’t rap for s***. lol
She sounds pressed not Iggys fault that Yoga was a big fat FLOP.
The irony of you calling anything a flop when you stan for an unlucky ho who hasn’t seen the top 70 in ages even after sucking and riding every available d**** it could find, the t***** still is rejected.
Ciara hasn’t seen the top 70 in ages sis? But I bet was in top 45 a couple months ago kii. Meanwhile Nicki is 6 years into her career and is still struggling to get a Grammy and #1 hit something Queen Ciara has….. How do you collaborate with Mariah,Beyonce, and Rihanna and still remain grammyless? kiiii
I stopped reading that crap you wrote at “Queen Ciara” lol what Queen gives back to back in a row? Kiii I can’t even say Tinashe’s lessor coz I would be disrespecting Tinashe a lot. Soo many years wasted trying to fit in this industry but ten years later people still don’t give shittt except for the few desperate idiots who thinks they can wife that cursed W H O R E (i.e.. Future)
*Flops
So wait whenever classic man gets played Iggy gets paid? Looooool
Love Jidenna tho..
Video: Merril – Run Your Mouth https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QNQ7huBvKzY
Who’s to say she isn’t rocking Asian girl hair, or Middle Eastern girl hair, or any other hair but “White girl hair”?

But who is wifing up Onika besides M***** mill (who the whole world hates) Your fav has such low self-esteem dating someone who resembles a deformed frog and touching his junk on stage smh so classless kiiii. No one respects Onigger she doesn’t respect herself Pothang.
Not you talking about people not respecting themselves when you make all your friends on TGJ and Twiiter, while you scrounge around for loose change on the streets to buy off-brand Ben & Jerry’s from CVS. Kiiiii, not you talking about respecting anyone, when your fave doesn’t respect herself enough to get full Gender Reassignment Surgery, so that she doesn’t have to tuck each morning. Not you talking about respect when your fave refuses to promote instead of being in a relationship every 4 5 seconds. Not you talking about respect when you want to switch to the H** so that you’ll have Slay_Hive and Annalise to hide behind since you can’t drag alone, running all throughout this blog calling people King & Queen. Tuh…
Why does Mothball-Molly Parton always have the most ironic and negative things to say, and then want to kiss and make up with everyone. You live vicariously through this website don’t you? Smh, you’re A***’s S**** now ????
But you were just begging for Annalises forgiveness the other day haha GIRL have several seats.
And weren’t you JUST on a post last night doing the same thing? Tuh. You can’t clock tea that you’re already sipping from, yourself, sis.
@Barb_Wire is legit the fakest bitchh on this site. This is the same thot that said it loves, respects, and supports Ciara. How can one stan make you hate an artist?
The same reason that no one uses Ciara after Jazzy Phe decided it was more valuable to invest in the food going into his gut, than Ciara’s stagnant career. The same reason you’re hiding behind Annalise now. The same reason you were in my DM’s with Cheryl talking ish about Barb-Wire instead of @’ing her.
Bittch please stop the shitt! You the fakest ho in this site, flip flopping between all these artists. You stay in Nicki’s C U N T trash talking her all the time and you actually think I’ll praise your flop fave? I tried being positive towards Ciaerror but you’ve always tried it with Onika so don’t play the victim now bittch.
Eat a dicckk and stay outta my reply section you ghetto piece of TRASH. You and Nicki are scum compared to Ciara and myself. Also take your pet Rihslavery with you.
I see why its mad…. Kiii

I would sooner cut you up into bitesize pieces and feed you to my chihuahua (who you probably resemble), than ever make peace with you b*tch…….. B*tch would die and be born again like our saviour Jesus Christ, before that ever happens.
You’re so bored and lazy, copying and pasting “Drags”/Receipts from the Kelly NowhereLand post, yet you have the audacity to come for Keri Qween’s lower totem pole ass for recycling the same drags. Girl sit on a cactus and twirl.
Girrrl

You can copy and post all you want, but you’d be better pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE and starting the ‘Task Manager’ figuring out which applications and operations you need to Cease and Desist before you continue going down the wrong path to destruction and crashing, because it’s really easy to ‘accidentally’ catch a v**** and lose everything or get hacked. Keep it cute you ugly hoeeeeee
Bittch please stop the shitt! You the fakest ho in this site, flip flopping between all these artists.

GATHER THAT FAKE HOEEEE! Literally no one uses her.
I can’t at this n** sucker @Molly thinking after all shitt it talks about Onika, I’d have a positive word about Ciara. I actually liked Ciara but I ain’t playing that shitt anymore.
It’s the main reason I can’t support Ciara, her fans just like Ciara’s musical direction, is fickle and confused.
Kiiiii it’s mad cause Nicki is winning and Ci-T***** isn’t.
Smh…
The thing is I never pretend to like Nicki. You acted like you liked Ciara and then turned on her smh that is fake af!!!! I have no respect for you, you sloppy insecure bitchh.
damn when it rains it pours….ahahahahahhahahaah
I don’t even like janelle monae….but i did have a good laugh or two…
I do believe black people can also be racist….but umm but there isn’t any racism toward iggy….she just sucks point blank period
bish better saveD u her money…because she is D.O.N.E
#blacks
This whole interview was great and you choose to focus on the most negative 2 second remark which isn’t even verbatim of what she said. Ya’ll get pettier and pettier. It’s so reductive. Anyway, Jidenna is so cute and and his background in Nigeria was interesting to hear.
You people are stupid! I’ve never thought of Fancy when listening to Classic Man! Y’all are always complaining about Blacks always crying about ish! That’s because half of the ish they cry about is TRUE! Let a white person say something, and you all make it the gospel! America is a truly sickening place!!!! Whites have stolen from Blacks from the beginning of time, and continue to do so, but of course they will always receive ALL THE CREDIT!!! F U ALL!!
You race debaters are annoying.
The Nicki stan only liked Ciara because the hive did smh bitchess are so fake and desperate to fit in kii
I love her.
The fact that the yogo flop singer said you steal from us we steal from you is just what Iggy lawyer wanted to hear. So jidenna did steal the fancy beat and change the chords.. Typical n**** s***… This is why we don’t get the credit we deserve.
Azelia please SHUT UP!!!!!! she is so wack and all she does is complain! please some one hit her with a bus already…
