Nick Young tattoo blunder: Iggy Azalea saves Lakers boyfriend from a huge misspelled tattoo, buries “Becky” controversy with Beyonce
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard, Nick Young, has just been saved by fiancé Iggy Azalea from a tattoo blunder. The sportsperson is lucky to have Iggy on her side, even after the cheating scandal, because had it not been for Iggy, Nick would have had a gigantic misspelled tattoo, “BORN REBLE,” on his back.
The misspelled tattoo would have been an utter embarrassment for Nick. Of all the things that Nick is, he appeared not to be a good speller. However, despite saving her boyfriend, Iggy did not forget to give her fans details of the hilarious episode how much she loves Nick in a series of tweets.
“Guys, I wanna let you know. Nick can’t spell and if it wasn’t for the LOVE I have for him. He would have "BORN REBLE" tatted across his back,” Iggy tweeted.

When Iggy was busy sorting out Nick’s tattoo blunder, he called Iggy “Becky”, amidst all the controversy surrounding Beyonce’s “Lemonade” album and “Sorry” song. Nick and Iggy started bickering on Twitter and the former claimed his account has been hacked and he would never call her “Becky.” The bickering ended with Nick saying sorry.

Right before sharing Nick’s tattoo blunder, Iggy clarified that she never meant that Beyonce is a racist. She simply wanted to give a message to people that it is not right use stereotypical words to describe any race. She even said that calling someone “Becky” is not the same as a racial slur.
On Tuesday, the rapper urged her fans never to call her “Becky” and even pointed out the reasons why. All this happened during Beyonce’s “Lemonade” album controversy. Hence, Iggy faced certain backlash from Beyonce’s fans.
No i dont think Beyonce is racist nor do i think calling someone "BECKY" is the same as a racial slur. I actually like her and the project.

BUT, no i dont think its great to use stereotypical names to describe ANY race. I think we can all agree on that.

In another tweet, Iggy explained why she finds calling someone “Becky” disgusting.
“AND WE ALL KNOW "becky" started because you all think white girls just go around slobbing on everyone’s d-ck. I’m good on being called that,” Iggy explained.
Beyonce’s album has stirred up a controversy, especially her song “Sorry,” as the lyrics urges a cheating lover to call “Becky with the good hair.” There has also been speculation about the people referred to in the song. Some fans believe it is a shot at Jay Z and his alleged mistress Rachel Roy. Beyonce fans also drew comparison with Rita Ora.
