Iggy Azalea Calls Nicki Minaj’s Fans Cyberbullies, Thinks They’re Disgusting
Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" and "Problem" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Nicki Minaj's fans are not taking this lightly and poured hatred through the Internet. Instead of letting it go, Iggy took to Twitter to express her disgust over what she thinks is cyberbullying against artists, Mail Online UK reports.
Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" took on the top position in the US Billboard Hot 100 Charts. On the other hand, her collaboration with Ariana Grande, 'Problem" took the second spot. Holding the first two positions in the charts is a mean feat, a feat only the Beatles had achieved so far. This is why Iggy Azalea getting this honor is a big deal for her fans and the fans of other artists on the same genre.
Critics called her racist and homophobic just because her songs are well embraced. She had just made history with her achievements in the music industry but not everyone think she deserves it. Nicki Minaj's fans think she does not deserve it. An article by the Forbes' magazine, which touted Iggy as the 'the undeniable leader of hip hop' and asserted that the music genre was 'run by a white blonde Australian woman,' aggravated the already-ill feelings of Nicki MInaj's fans.
The fans also think Iggy had it for Nicki early on when she once suggested that Nicki did not always sing live, so the Forbes article just aggravated their ire against the "Fancy" singer. Even the Web site Bustle claimed Iggy got to where she is now because of her "White" privilege.
As Nicki Minaj's fans poured out their hate against Iggy on the internet, Mail Online UK reports that Iggy waded through the storm by slamming back against what she called "cyberbullies." In her rant, Iggy managed to call her haters good-for-nothing fans who are irrelevant and do not know anything about artists' real lives.
She tweeted: "Just remember while you're all at home online cracking jokes about artists etc that Most of you have done NOTHING. NOTHING! With your lives."
She continued: "'Don't flex someone else's achievements."
"So many of you Internet kids quote the feats of others as if they were your own. And just to clarify for anyone who didn't understand that last statement goes out to people who bully others."
Iggy claimed it's disgusting to see fans war against each other in order to defend their idols.
"Fan wars back and forth and all that s*** is all bulls***. Someone who's music you love doing great should never be an excuse to be awful to others. That's my point I suppose. I just find it really disgusting," tweeted Iggy.
She finished her rant by asking fans to be more hardworking because they do not understand "how much work it takes to achieve anything in life."
Through her Twitter post, Iggy has proven she can defend herself. After all, she managed to move to the United States from Australia all by herself and achieved music success through her own hard work.
Not with my mom, she stayed at home, she stayed at home, just me," shared Iggy about how she came to the country.
