With success comes enemies, and Iggy Azalea has a lot of them right now. People say she is unoriginal, or that she is only successful cos she's white, or that she is racist and all that. During a recent interview with Complex Magazine, her mentor, T.I addressed the haters, saying that Iggy is far from being a racist. He said he gets pissed off any time he hears stories people make up about Iggy being a racist.
Read his words below.
“That pisses me off. Simply because they don’t have any real substantial grounds. ‘I don’t like them.’ Why? ‘Just ‘cause.’ What you mean just ‘cause? Since when do you get the right to judge people? Who died and made you the emperor of Egypt? That kind of shit and then the things that they accuse her of, like the racist stuff. That’s not even her. That’s not even in her. Me knowing her, knowing where she comes from—for real, the whole racist thing, that’s American—we forget, she’s not American. So the whole Black, white, color divided thing, it isn’t a part of her DNA like it is here in America. It’s just ignorant to me. In this day and age, to be a race of people who are demanding equality and speaking out on injustices and wanting to be treating fairly, to stand up and do the exact same thing in opposite to someone unwarranted for no reason, it’s hypocritical. I’ma ride with her. So, ya’ll go ahead. Anybody got a problem with it just know, it gon’ be one ‘cause I’m coming.” (Complex Magazine Interview)
