According to reports, around 30 people staged a “die-in” outside of Iggy’s show.

The demonstration was just one of hundreds happening across the nation in response to grand juries deciding not to indict white officers who killed Michael Brown and Eric Garner, unarmed black men, earlier this year. “We want to be very clear about the fact that black culture seems to be loved a lot more than black people [in this country],” said Lauryn Riley, one of the protest organizers.

Buzz surrounding a possible “die-in” going down bubbled online earlier in the day.

The Facebook poster asks, “Are you frustrated with the biased and inaccurate portrayal of people of color in the media? Are you tired of feeling like the plight of our people is not taken seriously? Are you angry that police are constantly getting away with murder and profiting off the loss of black lives?” Azalea has been criticized in the past for “appropriating Black culture,” according to the Facebook post.

New York rapper Azealia Banks called out Iggy for not coming forward and bringing attention to the now-infamous Eric Garner verdict drama this week.

  1. Yeah so let’s completely ignore the black rappers who don’t say shit and single out Iggy Azaela. Lets completely ignore the fact that:

    Lil Boosie flipped it around and placed blame on black people

    Kevin Gates speaks in riddles when asked about Ferguson and will only speak in depth about eating booty.

    Young Thug….well his ignorant ass comment spoke for itself.

    Anybody else popping just ignores it all together and covers it up with prayer wishes for the families, don’t loot, blah fucking blah

    • You seem to put a lot of faith in “Rappers” lol… but everything you so eloquently touched upon I agree with.

      • Nah this ain’t the 90s so I definitely don’t have any reason to put faith in a rapper. I’m just making a point that if you gonna call out the white girl then gon’ head and call out the black ones too

        • And u call out the ones that did in stead of being so negative like no did family. Her point is iggy should be the first to speak on issues about injustice of blacks being she makes a living off black culture

          • What about all you blacks making a living off of American culture and not staying true to your African descent? Ya’ll don’t come running every time a Black harms a white American. Iggy Azealia don’t owe ya’ll black people shit.

          • American culture? Like what? You’re argument has no substance. U just proving u a racist talking about yall blacks. And maybe if we wasn’tstripped of our history.and heritage we would 100% stick to our cutlure. #crimingwhilewhite and yet u still don’t understand. Please don’t havekids.

          • Your history and heritage is in Africa. The Native Americans were in America first !! If Iggy is wrong, than so is every Black American living in the U.S.A.

          • Why in the fuck should a white rapper care when none of these niggas that are relevant got shit to say about it? Get your shit together

          • They shouldn’tfollow they she be leaders and take the initiative and make it clear where they stand because we don’tknow. It’s not right to rap but not support an issue like this when u have a voice that can reach the world that goes for any rapper celebrity. Fuck u if disagree

          • Of course. That shit goes for EVERY BLACK RAPPER that has a voice. My point is there is no reason to target Iggy when she is of no significance to blacks when for the most part I know of no niggas that even listen to her music. I know blacks and whites that listen to Jay z, Lil wayne etc but these stupid muthafuckas didn’t go after them. The fact that the black rappers that matter ain’t said shit is more disrespectful than a fucking Iggy Azaela not saying shit.

          • Kanye Jay-Z Nas 50cent Rick Ross meek yogotti all fuckniggas the time is now not when yo album about to drop. Iggy canreach another type aaudience. They can’tspeak out because they wwon’tsell another record bbecause the same record owners own the media and the jails. But I would if I was in their shoes

          • The whole “if they talk then they wont sell records” is the biggest fucking myth. Pac was a great example of this myth being false and Kanye West was too at 1 point. Hip hop is not fucking country music and nobody is gonna ban a rapper for speaking out against police brutality or discrimination. These niggas today are just too busy trying to suck off to muthafuckas that don’t give a fuck about them for the sake of thinking they will crossover and get more money.

          • I was debating with somebody on another post about this. Once you get the clout, it is your choice whether or not you talk about that shit. You could do whatever you want with the right amount of clout!

          • Real shit. Man I don’t even know why you was debating with em’ because the shit is not even debatable. That’s just fact. In hip hop you are expected to say whatever is on your mind and it’s accepted

          • Lol confusion is why we argued. The argument was about Black directors though but it was along the same lines. A part of the argument was about the “Oprahs and Jay-Zs” of the world speaking out on black culture and issues and he said that the machine is what stops them when its not. They choose not to!

    • Young Jeezy, Crooked I, Joe Buddens have spoken candidly on the issue with Crooked I releasing a song addressing police violence.

      • So did Troy Ave, Lil Durk and Killer Mike but notice I said rappers that are “popping” not fan favorites.

        • I gotchu. Nas, Jay-z, 50 are more famous than the guys you named and they’ve said next to nothing as well. I’m losing a little respect for all of them for that. I also can’t find Durk’s comments or a song. You sure he responded to this?

          • Nobody ever really asks those guys anything with the exception of 50 and he has said some questionable shit that made made me kinda look at him sideways. But in all fairness they did release a record about the recent murders. Shit I didn’t even think of Nas. You would think he would be one of the 1st to speak on it

          • They shouldn’t wait for anyone to ask them. They can post on twitter, post a youtube video, post on fb, record a song and release it, hold a panel discussion or conference, anything. We always say how in the social media age we don’t have to wait on media so those rappers shouldn’t wait for anyone to ask.

            Who released a record about the recent murders? Yeah I’m surprised at Nas given the content of the Nigger album.

          • Lol I think it was you who I had the debate with about the black directors. See what Im saying? Them people you named have the clout AND CHOOSE NOT to talk about black issues. The machine aint holding them back brotha lol!

          • I would have to see what our original conversation was about as far as directors. Just because we can use social media that doesn’t mean the system doesn’t oppress, suppress, and repress us. It most definitely does. To be honest I am fully aware that the machine will come down hard on all of those artists if they become too vocal in their criticisms of the system. But if they are men (like Muhammad Ali) they will face those consequences.

    • So we don’t go in on young thug for his bullshit comments? We never mention the waynes and drakes, jayz’s etc of the world not doing nothing nut hocking whitey products? Shield get to ass on the front line and do the only thing you are good for. I’m tired of you coons always coming to defense of the other side for everything, p.o. willie lynch ain’t here no more and you’re still working for him and his kind for free smh. If you want to fuck iggy that’s cool but you ain’t got to cape for her shield brotha. And why are you so concerned with Kevin gates choice of flesh delicacy? Ease up shield, and pay attention to everything and not just when a white girl gets called out yell

      • Oh my God You. Stupid. Illiterate. Non reading. BITCH ASS NIGGA. I brought up young thug and every other rapper that don’t say shit so WHERE IN THE FUCK YOU GET IM DEFENDING IGGY AZAELA FROM? I’m sick of you niggas that can’t read commenting on shit without doing research first, bringing up “whitey tryna keep us down” fake ass conspiracy theories such as “The Willie Lynch Theory.” You stupid muthafuckas will defend anything and everyone just because they are black. Its dumb asses like you who defend people like Bill Cosby, Oj Simpson, Floyd Mayweather and other blacks who dont give a fuck about blacks just because they are black. FOH with your plantation mentality ass nigga.

  2. I agree with catty noir…..she is definitely piss worthy, even shit worthy……

  3. Azelia is right. Iggy and the rest of the Culture thieves are awfully quiet. Ironically only Macklemore was out in the field..
