Iggy
Azalea is coming under fire yet again. This time, it’s due to some
statements she made on Twitter over the past two days. The Australian
rapper told a Twitter user to never call her “Becky” because it is a stereotype
against white women.
“It was
used as a play on brain and Brian,” Azalea replied to another Twitter
user. “You would not be down if I started calling all black men Deshawns.”
The
“Fancy” rapper compared the use of Becky to other names which are meant to
stereotype and offend.
“Generalizing
ANY race by calling them one sterotypical name for said race. i personally dont
think is very cool, the end.” Azalea wrote. “I don’t care. Don’t call all
Asian women ‘Ming Lee.’ Don’t call white women ‘Becky.’ Don’t call black women
‘Sha Nay Nay.”
Iggy
Azalea got frustrated as Twitter users pushed back at her statements. She
claimed to be called Becky many times throughout her life.
“Girl
bye,” Azalea fired back at one user. “Do you know how many time ppl have called
me Becky? It didn’t have any kind of positive intention behind it. Don’t
start..”
Iggy
Azalea clarified that none of her statements were directed at Beyoncé. The
rapper professed her love for the singer’s new album Lemonade.
“And by
the way, this is not Bey shade,” Azalea clarified. “I love her and the album.
But my name is Iggy, and you will all call me that.”
