Iggy Azalea took to Twitter to show her appreciation for Will.i.am and Lupe Fiasco after they defended her following her fight with Azealia Banks.
“Thanks lupe and will iam what you guys said was really nice and i appreciate it,” Iggy tweeted.


Her response came after Will.i.am wrote, “.@IGGYAZALEA hiphop Is global now…it doesn’t matter if your white or black…thanks for contributing & spreading our culture positively. It saddens me that people are making a big deal about race in hiphop & not ethics…today’s ethics goes against our foundation.”
Right after showing how grateful she was of Lupe and will.i.am., she shared some candid thoughts to her fans.
Thanks for posting Swanky
-But what highly annoys me about this article is that they failed to delve into rapper Q-Tips tweets to her which were a history in not just hip hop but African American culture and musical history and how they would have had to pretty much fight for the rights to music which would be blatantly stolen and copied by white counterparts right under their noses. So here's the link to that story and shame on her for not at least thanking him for the history lesson since her pimp is too busy counting his money

It was a tough weekend for Iggy Azalea. The Australian rap star clashed with Azealia Banks over claims of cultural appropriation, fielded a threat from hacker group Anonymous and was schooled in Hip Hop 101 by Q-Tip....................


A few of Q-Tips tweets:


HipHop is a artistic and socio-political movement/culture that sprang from the disparate ghettos of NY in the early 70's Coming off the heels of the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT and approaching the end of the Vietnam war it was a crossroads 4 America specially for blacks in the US our neighborhoods were PROLIFERATED w/a rush of HEROINE."

"Our school systems here in NY dungeon traps with light for learning… blk men some of whom didn't return from tours of duty n the ones who did came w/war baggage (agent orange, addiction, ect..)… these men had families but due to these events and throw into the mix the public emasculation… they proved to be handicapped parents. The surrogate parents? The STREETS… the streets of gangs, crimes, and the hustlers coddled us and swept us up."

Hiphop now was FOR EVERYBODY!! All of those who cld relate to the roots, the spirit, the history, the energy.. It reached YOU… it touched your spirit n took u up. We magnetized you! That's what BRILLANCE does… now u are fulfilling your dreams … BUT! you have to take into account the HISTORY as you move underneath the banner of hiphop. As I said before… hiphop is fun it's vile it's dance it's traditional it's light hearted but 1 thing it can never detach itself from is being a SOCIO-Political movement."

"U may ask why … Well once you are born black your existence I believe is joined with socio-political epitaph and philos based on the tangled and treacherous history SLAVERY alone this is the case it never leaves our conversation… Ever. WeAther in our universities our dinner tables our studios or jail cells… the effects still resononates with us. It hurts… We get emotional and angry and melancholy… did u know president ******* was the ONLY PRESIDENT to apologize for it? did u know that remnants of slavery exist today thru white privilege? When certain "niceties" r extended your way because of how u look? Isn't that crazy?"

"I say this 2 say u are a hiphop artist who has the right 2 express herself however she wishes… this is not a chastisement this is not admonishment at ALL this is just one artist reaching to another hoping to spark insight into the field you r in. I say this in the spirit of a hopeful healthy dialogue that maybe one day we can continue… I've been on twitter a long time and this will probably be my last series of tweets pretty much but I'm Kool with it as long as I got to share this w u. Zzzzzzz's up! Peace!"

Do you think the criticism aimed at you is misogynistic?

Well, they don't say that stuff about Macklemore. So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina.

She's delusional. They don't say that stuff about Macklemore because he can actually rap and he does pop as well. Hell K. Flay is a female...who has stuff to say about her? Iggy's wiggy.
 
From 2015 People's Choice Awards:
She won for Favorite Hip-Hop Artist.
