Eminem Threatens to Rape Iggy Azalea, Aussie Singer Calls US Rapper ‘Old Man’ in Response
Hip-hop veteran Eminem has threatened to rape Iggy Azalea. The threat comes in the form of his new song, which has allegedly been leaked.
Eminem continues to curse in his new song while he warns the Australian recording artist not to blow rape whistle" on him. "So what's it goin' be? Put that f*** away Iggy / You don't wanna blow that rape whistle on me / Scream! I love it / 'Fore I get lost with the f*** off," The leaked song called "Vegas" says. This is not the first time Eminem gave threats of physical violence to a woman. He earlier rapped that he would punch U.S. singer Luna Del Rey twice in the face "like Ray Rice." He referred to the alleged incident when the former Baltimore Ravens player punched his then fiancé in an elevator.
Azalea, on the other hand, was quick to respond to the apparent threat of rape. USA Today shared Azalea's reaction on Twitter to show how she felt about Eminem's lyrics. She said that she was "bored of the old men threatening young women." She seems to have referred to the 42-year-old American rapper who is also known by his alter ego, Slim Shady. Azalea continues to post tweets about it as she said that the situation was particularly awkward as her 14-year-old brother was the biggest Eminem fan. "Now the artist he admired says he wants to rape me. Nice!" she tweeted. She posted another tweet that said that women in the music industry had "bigger balls" while they endured "much more harassment and critic."
The new track "Vegas" is apparently going to be a part of Eminem's upcoming album called "SHADYXV." Eminem's reference to the Australian star does not stop at the rape threat. Even before he apparently threatens Azalea of rape, he compares Nicki Minaj's butt with Azalea's,E! Online reported. While he praises Minaj's curvy body, he asks Iggy to "put that s**t away." The song does have some explicit lyrics where Eminem claims that his male organ "tastes like humble pie." He also asks to "swallow" his pride. While Eminem is no stranger to controversial lyrics, his present song may have taken the standards to a whole new level.
