Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks are feuding once again, but it’s become a much deeper rift than just fighting over music.
In a radio interview on Thursday with Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, Banks broke down in tears when the topic of the “Fancy” rapper came up.
She made it clear that her frustration stems from the state of our country today, and Azalea’s representation clearly hits a nerve for her.
“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 ‘f-ck you’” she said. "There's always a 'F--- y'all n---as. Y'all don't really own sh-t. Y'all don't have sh-t."
She brought up the Grammys, when Macklemore won Best Rap Album for The Heist,” saying it “wasn’t better than the Drake record. That Iggy Azalea (expletive) isn’t better than any (expletive) black girl that’s rapping today,” USA Today reports.
She discussed slavery, Eric Garner and Michael Brown as well as Bill Cosby, but Banks’ biggest point was that Azalea’s music should be considered pop, but rap or hip hop.
This was Azalea’s response:
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.
