ASAP Rocky Speaks on the Azealia Banks, Iggy Azalea Beef: “I Know For A Fact Iggy Is Not Racist”

(Props to Archna at PunchBowlTV for the interview)
We’re pretty aware of the rapper fued going on between Harlem’s Azealia Banks and the Aussie Iggy Azalea. Both of these newcomer female MCs made quite a splash in 2011. Banks scooped up a deal at Universal and Iggy was signed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle, most recently.
However, Azealia was quite annoyed after XXL picked Iggy as one of their Freshman 10 rappers. She quickly fired off on Twitter and called out Iggy for being a racist. It all stems back to a song where the Iggy wrongfully referenced “Slavemaster” in a verse. Even after T.I. came to Iggy’s defense, Banks went even harder and fired off at the kang by calling him “corny.” It’s pretty clear that Iggy doesn’t want beef but it doesn’t seem like Azealia is ready to back down yet. And now to add another chapter to this story, Harlem’s A$AP Rocky has chimed in defense of his “woman?”
(5:05 min mark) “Shout out to Azealia, she’s probably mad at us, though. Her boyfriend was A$AP AV, we know her and we talk about that. Not bad, but like ‘assholes!’ [Laughs]
“They gotta cut it out, that’s some bullshit. Iggy is not racist. Trust me, trust me. That’s some bullshit. I think that’s petty for Azealia because.. c’mon don’t pick on [Iggy] because she’s white. That’s a low blow.”

She has to get her name out there somehow. What better way than to call out another female MC.

That uglyy racist bitch is just jealous of our hot blonde ‘IGGY AZALEA’ that one hit wonder 212 azealia banks thinks she knows it all about rap chatting about how rap is all about black culture nahhhh bitch Blondie’s “Rapture” was the FIRST rap song. Though rap had begun developing in the Seventies, it had yet to gain any corporate acceptance. “Rapture” was the first commercially released rap single. So everyone from Public Enemy to Tupac to Eminem owes their careers to Debbie Harry!!!! Say no moreee ugly banks you’re just bitter and think the worlds owes yu something where’s that gonna get her?

No you are very wrong. In fact, rap was started by a group of black man called “SugaHill Gang”……DUMB ASS. Know your facts before you type.

Dam, I like Rocky, but I’m not with him on this. Azealia had legitimate concerns about questionable lyrics and Rocky reduces it to her “picking on” a white girl.
I don’t think Iggy’s a racist, but I definitely don’t believe that it was a low blow to question her lyrics.
