About four days ago, Eve spoke to The Women Of Hip Hop over the phone and she expressed her dislike of up and coming female rapper Iggy Azalea. Well recently Iggy responded to Eve’s criticism in a decent manner by saying that she is not phased by the comments nor is she mad at Eve for her opinion. She also comments on Azealia Banks as well. Both comments can be read in their entirety below.

On Eve:

“I like Eve. Everybody is different, everybody hasn’t lived out of the box and for you to even know if it’s real, you have to kind of be an out-the-box person or somebody who likes something they’re not suppose to [like]. A girl like her that raps is expected, so, how could you understand something so different?

“I’m not mad at [Eve] for not understanding it. How could you if you’ve never been ostracized or loved something you weren’t suppose to love? Everything you’ve loved you’re allowed to love, so, how could you understand me? Thus, how could you know if it’s real? 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 put my story all out there for you because I don’t need to put my story out there and prove it. I don’t give a f-ck if you think I am or not ’cause that girl in the crowd understands it and that’s who it’s for, if you don’t then it’s not for you.”

On Azealia Banks:

“Females are competitive like that and that’s how it is. I’m sure if I was the best sprinter in the world, all the other sprinters would hate me and I would hate them, too. It’s the same thing— it’s competition, it’s women. I don’t take offense to it. I don’t wake up thinking about another woman. I think about what I am going to do to make sure my career has longevity because that’s my only job. I just think about that, not who can be doing my job better than me —no one can, because I’m the only one that can be me and they’re the only ones who can be them.
