New York rapper Talib Kweli isn’t here for Iggy Azalea‘s new GQ magazine feature. The hip-hop veteran has ripped the Australian hip-hop artist over white privilege remarks.
Kweli went to Instagram Friday (April 20) to single her out.
Back in 2016, Talib clashed with Iggy over her feeling dissed by rapper Macklemore’s “White Privileges II” song.

Iggy almost immediately responded to Talib’s bashings.
The tensions sparked when Macklemore’s “White Privileges II” song landed online hours prior.
“You’ve exploited and stolen the music, the moment,” Mack raps. “The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with / The culture was never yours to make better. You’re Miley, you’re Elvis, you’re Iggy Azalea – Fake and so plastic, you’ve heisted the magic/ You’ve taken the drums and the accent you rapped in/ You’re branded ‘hip-hop,’ it’s so fascist and backwards.” (“White Privileges II”)
Iggy initially addressed the verbal jab on her Twitter page once the song went viral.
i love dudes music but talib is a complete asshole on social media, he takes shit and runs with it. he doesn’t deal in facts and hes irresponsible with slandering and labeling ppl.
