Check out what Iggy said about Banks earlier in the day right here…

Iggy hopped onto her Twitter page Friday (December 19) to lash at Banks.

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)
