While Iggy Azalea rides high on her current success, she still comes up against those who just can't rock out with her brand of rap. While some Hip-Hop fans have their various reasons for not liking the "Fancy" rapper, Grand Hustle capo T.I. is sick of hearing about it.
"That pisses me off," said T.I in an interview with Complex. "Simply because they don't have any real substantial grounds. 'I don't like them.' Why? 'Just 'cause.' What you mean just 'cause? Since when do you get the right to judge people? Who died and made you the emperor of Egypt?"
He also spoke on accusations that Iggy may be racist, or at the very least, is appropriating Black culture for profit.
"That kind of sh*t and then the things that they accuse her of, like the racist stuff. That's not even her. That's not even in her. Me knowing her, knowing where she comes from—for real, the whole racist thing, that's American—we forget, she's not American. So the whole Black, white, color divided thing, it isn't a part of her DNA like it is here in America."
He then accused many of her "haters" of being racist themselves.
"It's just ignorant to me. In this day and age, to be a race of people who are demanding equality and speaking out on injustices and wanting to be treating fairly, to stand up and do the exact same thing in opposite to someone unwarranted for no reason, it's hypocritical. I'ma ride with her. So, ya'll go ahead. Anybody got a problem with it just know, it gon' be one 'cause I'm coming."
