Iggy Azalea & Azealia Banks Have It Out on Twitter Post Hot 97 Interview
by Staff Editor
The Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks fiasco continues. After the outspoken Banks sat down with Hot 97 for a powerful and memorable interview, the misunderstood femcee had an intense exchange of tweets with the Grammy-nominated Iggy. During her interview with Hot 97 earlier today, the rapper/songstress talked black culture, hip-hop, her music and of course Iggy Azalea and the many problems she has with her:
“I feel like in this country, whenever it comes to our things, like black issues or black politics or black music or whatever, there’s always this undercurrent of kinda like a ‘fuck you.’ There’s always a “fuck y’all niggas. Y’all don’t really own shit. Y’all don’t have shit.”
Banks also addressed the Grammys: “When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is: oh yeah you’re great, you’re amazing, you can do whatever you put your mind to. And it says to black kids: you don’t have shit. You don’t own shit, not even the shit you created for yourself, and it makes me upset.”
This wasn’t the first time Banks and Iggy got into it, however. Earlier this month, the two female stars had a war of words via Twitter regarding Iggy’s business relationship with T.I., where Banks went on to calling Tip a “shoe-shining coon,” in addition to accusing Iggy of not caring about black issues, but copying black culture.
Once Iggy caught wind of today’s interview between Banks and Hot 97, she hopped on Twitter to blow off some steam of her own. Check them out on the next page.

azoozoo banks is dope i fuck with her heavy but common now. You are blaming iggy for her grammy nominations? blame the grammys. I get the whole “iggy stole black culture” you dont hear white people complaining about black country singers? they appreciate them.
Team Banks…Iggy dsnt even write her own music. Can’t take anyone (that raps) that dsnt write their own songs serious.
How come its always a black rapper that makes this shit racist ? Its funny how they all say white people “Stole” black culture ..when in all reality ..they r just mad that white rappers do it BETTER . And thats real . U wanna make it about race we can go there . White people are better at it plain and simple . Iggy getting a grammy sends white kids a message that they can do anything but blacks kids a message saying they dont have shit ?? That makes no fuckin sense ..and is the most ignorant shit ive heard all month . There is no “White” privilege these days ..idk about u but im struggling WAY more than any black person ive ever met . My best friend growing up was black he was my first real friend ever since we were 4 we have been friends … and im better at rapping than he ever will be . This is a touchy subject with lots of different opinions on the matter . Just to clarify i dont like iggy . I think she is a disgrace to hip hop ..but not because she is white …
Lol…. thats so incorrect about whites js, lol. I get what.your saying but there’s a lot of good black rappers more than white rappers. Both have good rappers.
just because more white rap artist get more air time does not mean they are better lol
“White people are better at it, plain and simple”—Please give examples…please. All I’m asking….
Iggy SUCKS ! Her music trash
I appreciate Azaelia Banks because she is actually speaking facts. Iggy chose to call us a slave master after she took Kendrick lyrics. The Grammy’s doesn’t give us the awards we deserve forreal. YG had the #1 album , sold the most yet wasn’t even nominated for best hip-hop album. They pick and choose who is acceptable and if there is a white counterpart to hip-hop they put them before even when Iggy is sub-par at best.
TRUTH!
Everything AB said in her hot97 interview was nothing but TRUTH! Anything dealing w/black culture isn’t “HOT” until whites decide to jump on the band wagon. Look, IA IS NOT hip hop. She’s pop at best & for a bunch of old ass white men who know NOTHING of black culture or hip hop to declare this fraud “The Queen of Hip Hop” is a joke!
AB needs to learn to control her emotions a bit better in this arena, but she’s young & passionate about her people, culture, & craft. It’s not totally a race thing because we’ve always excepted white artists who were GENUINE such as Jon B., 3rd Bass, The Beastie Boys, Tina Marie, Robin Thicke, Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly…Iggy Azalea IS NOT THAT CHICK! TI is acting like captain save a ho always going in on people who come for this fraud. She’s supposed to be a rapper, but always crying to tip when she gets picked on. AB needs to squash that beef & focus on promoting her music because she IS the better artist. AZALIEA BANKS would murk Iggy in a battle. That’s what I want to see happen.
