Iggy Azalea Blasts Azealia Banks for Being a 'Bigot' and 'Bully'
Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea are reigniting their beef. After Azealia put Iggy on blast during her emotional interview with Hot 97, the “Fancy” rapper has fired back.
Azealia trashed her rap rival, who was nominated for four Grammys. “That Iggy Azalea shit is not better than any fu**in’ black girl that’s rapping today,” she told Ebro and Peter Rosenberg. “The Grammys are supposed to be awards for artistic excellence… Iggy Azalea’s not excellent.”
She broke down in tears while discussing the “culture smudging” of America. “When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘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 yourself.’ And it makes me upset.”
After the interview aired, Iggy shot back at the “212” rapper, blaming her poor attitude for her downfall. She claims that she lost a record deal because Azealia refused to be signed to the same label as her.
Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven't is because of your piss poor attitude.

Your inability to be responsible for your own mistakes, bullying others, the inability to be humble or have self control. It's YOU!

you created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don't have the mental capacity to realize yet. Probably never will.

Azealia returned to Twitter with more incendiary comments and likened Iggy to a minstrel show.
Itchy Areola, you are so stupid and selfish to make any of this about yourself in particular,

My tears had absolutely nothing to with you and everything to do with society and the media in general.
