In Banks’ opinion, Iggy has copied her entire style after Young Money’s Nicki Minaj.

“Nicki Minaj over the past two, three, four years has done so much to create this social presence, like consciousness, and then here you go. She’s like Re-Up and Roman Reloaded, and here go f*ckin’ Iggy like Reclassified. It’s like a cultural smudging was what I see.” (Hot 97)

Azealia also talked about Iggy snagging some Grammy Awards nominations.

“When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘You’re great. You’re amazing. You can do whatever you put your mind to.’ And it says to black kids, ‘You don’t have sh*t. You don’t own sh*t, not even the sh*t you created yourself.’ And it makes me upset. … Put [Iggy] in the pop category. Put her and Miley Cyrus in the same f*ckin’ box together. Don’t put her in hip-hop. Just because she’s singing, does not mean she’s rap music.” (Hot 97)

Over the summer, Iggy’s Hustle Gang boss T.I. explained why he went directly at Azealia’s head witha public diss.

“Nah, no war,” Tip said in an interview. “I think we spoke about this earlier in the month and I think I said the same thing to you. No disrespect from no one at no time. No exceptions. You can say what you want about me, but if you say something about my family, man, I’ma go at you and I’ma be relentless. I’ma be relentless. I’ll chew your throat off your neck if I need to. I have an oath to honor and respect and maintain the honor and respect and the integrity of my family. Anybody that violate that, I’m going. It’s just that.” (TMZ)

Seemingly out of nowhere, Banks appeared to fire the first shot with a jab reference to T.I.’s new “No Mediocre” record last June.

“U want no mediocre but … Have you seen your wife?,” Banks wrote via Twitter June 16 night.

“What do you do when your wife can’t read and they put it on national Tv?”

“At least I can read! LOL” (Azealia Banks’ Twitter)

  1. this chick said nicki raised consciousness lmaoooooooooo man i got to remember all these mofos is entertainment.

    • dam i messed around and watched this interview and now i understand this chick more. sidenote she look like she give some great dome.

  2. Not really a Iggy fan by a long stretch but these bitter bitches are starting to make me be more accepting of her.

  3. Im feeling this chick she gangsta on so many levels i overstand her point of view. She is not for the lame minded. Ya dig

  4. Who the fuck doesn’t re-release shit! This little ignorant cunt needs to get a job. Clearly attempting to be a music star isn’t cutting it for her. Fortunately, she will NEVER make it now, because the name Azelea will always belong to Iggy!

    • Just like our last names will forever belong to you guessed it. If it ain’t white it ain’t right says the Caucasian with the nigga lips and big ass nose but talks so eloquently.

  5. If you watch the interview and if you’re a reasonable person you won’t find her to be a bitter bitch anymore.

  6. Yo wtf I mean what she is doing is wrong to gain attention. You want to remember for your music not for being a troll

  7. If male rappers got this upset about other whack male rappers can you imagine how much quality music would be mainstream and wtf did Iggy ever do to this chick geessh

  8. So did she also call out Nicki Minaj for copying Lil Kim? I mean, fair is fair and right is right. She is proving herself to be very bias. She seems to have a very big issue with Iggy’s fame. You know how you overcome that? By making better music.

    • I think its a honor to taper yourself around a known great of our time too bad the giant didn’t see it that way. Now when yt come in and assimilate our styles its viewed at a higher and prestigious value. But we don’t care until its to late but by then it isn’t ours anymore ex. Elvis rock n roll

  9. lol this broad got problems… i aint even heard her music yet… she the female 50 cent aka no cents

  10. Actually the man is the one who looks like marlon and shawn Waynes in white face.

    The white chick they try their hardest to not refer to her as bitch, but the black woman they quick to call a bitch, smh but par for the course for shield nigras. Let that woman speak her mind, and iggy runaway slave master as has every right to respond, just real shit yell
