In a new clip, Flores jabs Young and says Iggy is trying to kill the rap game.

Without hesitation, Young addressed Flores’ disses on Twitter Monday (March 2).

Last week, Iggy admitted the negativity and overall impact Twitter remarks had on her music forced a shocking decision to refrain from the social media outlet.

“Of course I am, anybody’s happy when they’re not being verbally abused,” Iggy said when asked if she’s happy to no longer be running her Twitter account. “I think it’s pretty safe to say, it’s way better. … I think it’s dangerous to have that negative Internet culture and it isn’t all [dangerous] but I think it is dangerous especially when you’re someone who has to create things – I’m in the middle of recording a second album and I really don’t want to have like some angry, aggressive album. Every time I’m in the studio I just feel like I want to punch everybody in the face – I really [needed] to get off the Internet. … It makes me hate people – I love people.” (“The Cruz Show”)

Iggy broke the big news to her Twitter followers last week.

  1. Nick young you get no points for this. You could have gotten some points off snoop and told snoop what you were going to do to him the next time you see him… But you didn’t for some strange reason. But trying to rough up Robert Flores? Cmon son. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. Just leave it alone. Who cares?

  2. Damn… Nick Young needs to work on going back to school. What a damn mess that was to read. And Kobe can’t stand this clown either. He takes everything as a joke. Never serious.
