Iggy Azalea Responds To Rah Digga’s “Not Real Hip-Hop” Comments
by Staff Editor
Being a rapper in the game is one thing, but being a female rapper is a whole different kind of game. Recently, Rah Digga did an interview with ThisIs50, where she discussed her thoughts on Iggy Azalea and her impact this year.
Well, it looks like she isn’t a fan of the Australian native, since she called Iggy’s music and style “not real hip-hop” to the hosts.
She said of the rapper:
“Iggy Azalea, I can’t really get into her. Because it’s just not real to me,” Digga said. “There is a white girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into.”
“Teach me Australian Hip-Hop culture. Don’t come to America and try to convince me that you’re Gangsta Boo…We’re not going to believe you if you’re trying to convince us that you’re out here trap shooting.”
Iggy didn’t take too kindly to the comments, but don’t get it twisted. She says she doesn’t mind being considered “not real hip-hop,” but isn’t a fan of being criticized by another female in the industry.
She tweeted:
I honestly don’t really mind if I’m described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining.

its definetly funny seeing ppl get so emotional over it all. What does it matter? music is music and many enjoy mine, no need to feel upset. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014

@Listen2Kevin every female rapper gets accused of not writing, and thats fine i just find it disappointing to see it come from other women
