Hustle Gang's Iggy Azalea recently updated fans on her stance toward Nicki Minaj and dismissed the idea of having a close-knit bond to the Young Money queen.
According to Iggy, she has only had one brief encounter with Nicki.
“I only ever came across her one time at the VMAs and I saw her on stage. I said, ‘I thought you did a really great job and you look beautiful’
I don’t not like her, I definitely don’t have beef with her. But I also could be her friend, but we’ve never had a conversation.” (Perez Hilton)
Footage of the duo’s brief encounter popped up right here…
Footage of Minaj and Iggy having a brief moment surfaced online a day after last month’s MTV Video Music Awards ceremony.
Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj ran into each other backstage at Sunday’s VMAs, and it was all love. While doing an interview with MTV News, Nicki was greeted by Iggy, who congratulated her on her opening performance. “You did great, don’t worry it,” she told the Young Money rapper, referring to her wardrobe malfunction during “Bang Bang.” “Thank you, honey,” responded Nicki. (Rap-Up)
Although Iggy appeared to downplay the hype, her NBA boyfriend Nick Young recently admitted she had some issues toward Nicki’s dicey BET Awards acceptance speech.
“Oh man! You know, it is what it is,” Young told reporters at the party this week. “I had to deal with the aftermath when she came home. … When she got home and was going through her phone and hearing all the things and people talking trash about her, you know I had to be there for her. … But you know what, Iggy is doing big things and its scaring a lot of people!” (Us Magazine)
Nicki waited nearly 72 hours to speak out on being labeled the agitator following the awards ceremony.
“The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I will always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us!,” Nicki tweeted July 2.
“I believe we’re smart enough to write down our own thoughts and perspective, just like the men do. I’ve been saying this for 5 YEARS”
“I fell in love with Lauryn Hill b/c I knew she was the author behind those amazingly profound and articulated songs on the MisEducation”
“I wondered how Lauryn tapped into my brain and wrote an album on love, betrayal, passion, pain, triumph, brokenness…. Did she read minds?”
“It’s the same reason I have a different level of respect for Missy. I know she’s a writer and a producer. Women MUST aspire for more”
“I’ve congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly. She should be very proud of that. All the women nominated should b proud.”
“That will never change my desire to motivate women to write. Our voices have to be heard. I hope I inspire up & coming females to do that.” (Nicki Minaj’s Twitter)
After being called up for her “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” award, Minaj appeared to shoot out some dicey words toward Iggy.
“This is my fifth year winning this award. I don’t take it for granted,” Nicki says when accepting the award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. “When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it. No, no shade… no shade,” she continued, silencing rumors of her not writing her own rhymes.” (BET Awards)
Iggy is running the game and Nikki ain’t like that
Till nicki enters billboard hot 100 top 10 i can’t take her serious as a pop singer. Thats all i gotta say about nicki. I’m not even gonna address hiphop as i aint seen any signs of nicki tackling that genre
both of nickis albums debuted at number one. And Super Bass, Starships, and Anaconda have all been top 5 on the billboard lol
I think what he’s attempting to say is that all nicki’s Songs ON Billboard Are All Pop. None hiphop
oh ma bad corXy, she’s a successful pop singer then.
iKKKy azalea isn’t running shit. Clear Channel had to play her songs millions of times before anybody paid attention to her. iKKKy azalea is a manufactured star, with her booty implants and payola.
Manufactured with booty implants and payola are the SAME things that pushed Nicki to superstardom.
Did you think “Starships” wasn’t paid to be in promotion heavily, but meanwhole the album flopped?
Or did you watch “Anaconda” for her rhyme skills?
It’s the same thing with them.
That’s true, no denying that. Minaj, is in a similar category, but she can rap good when she chooses to. But most of the time she chooses to make ignorant pop music.
iggy is cute….nicki is ugly
i wouldn’t be surprised if you are a black male.
nah bro
im white
You know it….black coons love shit that’s white and halfway decent looking.
Ain’t gonna say nicki is ugly but personally i’ma still take iggy over nicki. That being said, i’ll settle for the universally accepted uglier of the two. I don’t want much lol
well shes not ugly
but too fake
no make up…bald head…
Both have booty implants
iKKKy is ugly, bitch needs a ton of make up to cover up her ugly face. And we all know about the booty implants.
Nikki does know that Lauryn Hill didn’t write all her stuff either right?
you feel me? People don’t know she got sued for that and settled out of court.
At least Lauryn Hill’s booty is her really booty, unlike Nicki Minaj and iKKKy Azalea
Not sure how booties came into this topic?
And I never knew that Iggy’s was fake. Why would she get her bottom & leave her top flat?
I don’t think it’s fake, but whatever
Lauren got sued for not producing and not giving co credit for writing hooks not her bars. Yell
The lawsuit was for writing credits.
They never once specified hooks from verses.
But even if that were true, the hook is arguably more valuable than the bars.
It’s the hook that is repeated and “hooks” the listeners.
But the point was she didn’t write it all as I originally posted.
