Iggy Azalea quits music amid blackfishing controversy.

Thoughts? Did she deserve the criticism or no?

She's wearing darker makeup, you can see where it ends in the video in some spots, I don't know why she's having such a fit about people noticing it.

R2 yeah I was trying to see the parts of the video that could have been deceiving, because people said it was to do with the lights they used that made her look darker in parts of the video. Others said she deliberately darkened her skin.

R1 we get it. You are American. Anyone outside of your country doesn't exist.

r3 you can also see it in the part in the photo I posted, for about half an inch into the middle part on that wig she's wearing there's thick brown makeup, then it abruptly ends. Also seems like she's got some makeup smeared on the waist of her catsuit and elbows. Not a great look on any level.

Iggy’s first album was the most exciting thing to happen to hiphop in years. Media couldn’t have that so they found a way to have the public turn on her.

"[R1] we get it. You are American. Anyone outside of your country doesn't exist."

R1's response is standard for DL, especially in reference for anyone in music born after Tony Bennett.

Technically wouldn't this be a blacklash?

The best thing this bitch ever did was have Jennifer lauwerende sing on this song, she’s a talentless whore who should retire.

R9 the thing is had she written her own raps maybe the first blacklash wouldn't have happened or been warranted. Instead she was an industry creation made to capitalize off music borne from the black community and some rappers went having it (Nicki Minaj) after Iggy won a BET award. She is different from Emminam in that she doesn't write her own raps. Now her using dark makeup to soak to the black crowd, especially after people like Rachel Dolezal caused big controversy, was just a bad idea

I miss Bart Baker, R7. Loved his parodies.

If the Kardashians built an empire on fucking black guys and subtly appropriating their culture then I don't see why Iggy is cancelled and they are not.

R15 very true. It's like how Jenna Marbles left the Internet and YouTube after her blackface videos she had posted in the long past received criticism a few years ago. But yeah the Kartrashian whores never get cancelled for anything.

Bitch had it coming. Trying to impersonate us black queens, what did she think was gonna happen?

these bitches did it better

She sucked and was super fake. She aged and was no longer cool.

It's timing more than anything, back when the Kardashians were first doing this kind of thing, it wasn't widely seen as offensive. By the time Iggy Azalea did it, it was.

Kardashian fans are also not the kind of people who care about behavior, so they get criticized quite a bit these days, but the fanbase doesn't change because they honestly don't care what crappy things the Kardashians do.

Sjws=the new moral majority. So authoritarian.

I’m surprised she got a pass this long

I agree 1000%, R23. Those of us who rememer the "immoral" majority are the ones fighting against all this wokester shit now. We know where is comes from and where is leads. I'm only in my 40s so I barely remember Reagan and that era politically but I've educated myself on the horrors that that entire era has treated society to ever since. The younger generations making up the wokester and SJW contingents are ignorant and staying that way. The fact that the media appeases their bullshit is leading to the end of western civilization but, as they would meaninglessly say, "you be you". I hope the backlash on these trends is spectacular and that we get back to reality soon.

One less dancer working the poles won't be missed.

She’s ridiculous and insulting and should never have had a career to begin with.

OP’s pic looks like she’s getting her back cracked from people stepping on it. I need that so bad.

She was borderline minstrelsy.

This talent free bitch needs to go work at an Olive Garden

Look at this bitch trying to appropriate zebra culture. Unfuckingbelieveable!

She looks like Cardi B with her long face and dark skin, I'm not buying her excuse.

How do these people inflate their asses? Implants would be more localized, no? Or are these implants giant bags of silicone the size of watermelons?

R17 & r21: please, stop doing this impersonation thing. You suck at it and it's embarrassing to read.

She looks like a Cardi B/Nicki Minaj/Megan Thee Stallion hybrid in that pic.

r17, Beyonce looks like a spitting image of her mother.

Iggy and Chrissy Teigen are the latest additions to them”cancel club”, and I’m not mad about it.

I liked her. I liked her songs.She must have had bad advisors. Ppl were always jelly of her.

She should not have done plastic surgery, however.

"Blackfishing" - how utterly exhausting a concept.

If you triangulate on all these ridiculous positions, you eventually come to the conclusion that the only acceptable solution is all other races to submit to worldwide dominance of a black owned and operated planet.

Ridiculous.

Did JLo ever comment about working with her?

I THOUGHT THE BITCH WAS WHITE!

How has JLo not been cancelled for appropriation yet? She's been playing at being a black street girl for decades now.

She gets points for having sluttily dressed male dancers in her latest video but the song is awful, as has the majority of songs she put out since "Fancy".

I hate Iggy but this "controversy" is proof that social media has stripped everything from its context. It doesn't matter what's someone's intent was. It only matters that some twits on twitter were professionally offended. What a world we live in.

I don't care about her hair dye or spray tan. People can work whatever look they want. But her music is .... appallingly bad. I know that there are many talentless performers out there but you have to start somewhere. Baby steps!

Yes the backlash that ensued from a white woman donning black face (in 2021) (earning millions of dollars selling hip hop) is definitely a slight to every other race. And it is definitely an attack on white dominance. “The blacks” are definitely waging a coup.

Thank God people like you are here to tell black people how to feel about these things. Just like the good old days. They need you to tell them by what they may or may not be offended.

I thought Iggy was making fun of Kardashian in the video?

Shush, R52, reality doesn't matter in the Twitterverse.

R53, that's exactly it. Social media strips context from everything. To be honest, it's pretty hypocritical coming from Azalea since she herself got a ton of plastic surgery to look like a black woman. But I thought the point of the video was pretty obvious?
