Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks have more in common than just their suspiciously similar stage names. They’re two of the hottest female rappers in the game; they both have legions of adoring fans; and, of course – they both freaking hate each other! Banks has a history of using social media to troll more popular artists, and she was at it again last night. Last year, Azealia accused Lady Gaga of stealing her ideas and essentially ripping off her entire career. More recently, Banks and T.I. were involved in an ugly Twitter feud after she publicly mocked his wife. Azealia may have outdone herself this time, however, as she used the news that police officer Daniel Pantaleo would not be charged in the death of Eric Garner as en excuse to attack her more popular rival: “It’s funny to see people like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen,” Banks tweeted. “Black culture is cool, but black issues aren’t, huh?” “If you’re down to ride with us, b-tch, you gotta RIDE ALL THE WAY. Don’t just be down to ride black d–k…That wannabe black girl sh-t makes me wanna throw a jar of my piss at her.” Banks went on to call T.I. a “shoe-shining c–n” for mentoring Iggy. The tweets continued well into the night and accused Iggy of involvement with the KKK and endorsement of slavery. Clearly feeling that she was on a role, Banks went on to attack gossip bloggers Perez Hilton and Necole Bitchie, referring to the former as a “f-ggot,” and stating that the latter wants to “be a white woman so bad.” Iggy replied to the rant as calmly as could be expected, tweeting: “There’s more to sparking change than ranting on social media. World issues shouldn’t be used as a poor excuse to start fan battles…Also, try not to judge another’s support ‘or lack thereof’ solely on if they have ranted in Twitter about it.” It seems she’s decided to take the high road and more or less sit this one out. Hopefully, Iggy’s boyfriend Nick Young will rise to the occasion and talk some smack. He’s been known to be as mean on Twitter as he is on the court. 11 Odd Iggy Azalea Facts! 1.
