Yes, this is another chapter in the sad, sorry feud between Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks, and yes, it's still just as upsetting as ever. Azealia Banks has it in her head and Iggy Azalea is this massive racist, and she's not letting it go any time soon. She stirred things up again when she said this during a radio interview:
"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 'f--- you.' That Iggy Azalea s--- isn't better than any f---ing black girl that's rapping today...The Grammys are supposed to be accolades of artistic excellence. Iggy Azalea is not excellent."
And really, that's just not fair. There are tons of artists who perform at the Grammys who many people wouldn't consider "excellent," and no one is acting like Iggy is the greatest rapper to ever emerge: she had a very, very catchy song, and that just happens sometimes. Obviously there's a considerable amount of racial issues happening in this country right now, but the focus does not need to be on Iggy Azalea, and Iggy said as much in a series of tweets:
And you know Azealia wouldn't let that lie:
Ladies, please just stop. Instead of making this so personal and making up names like "Itchy Areola," maybe if you feel so strongly about this, discuss it in a more mature way. Don't bring yourself to that level, because it just makes you look petty. There are valid points on both sides, but as we've said time and time again, no one wins in a Twitter war.
