Iggy Azalea Critics Vanity Fair

Iggy Azalea Think She’s Being Criticized Because She Has A Vagina

Never shying away from controversial headlines, Iggy Azalea made it a point to make even more headlines because of her last interview with Vanity Fair. During the interview, Iggy awas asked about the heavy criticism she’s been receiving as of late, especially from fellow female rapper Azealia Banks, who labels Iggy’s music “cultural smudging” or as we call it, appropriation.

But Iggy doesn’t think that her uber catchy, very urban-inspired look and sound aren’t appropriation. In fact, she just looks at it as good old fashioned inspiration that’s been happening for years. Check out the snippets from her interview with Vanity Fair that matter:

Lisa Robinson: Do you think it’s weird for a white Australian girl to be a rapper?

Iggy Azalea: Well, I never thought it was strange. If you go back to the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley and Eminem—they’ve all basically done black music. I felt this wasn’t that far from what we’ve seen in music history over and over again.

LR: Do you think the criticism aimed at you is misogynistic?

IA: Well, they don’t say that stuff about Macklemore. So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina.

LR: Twerking used to be part of your on-stage performances—how do you feel about that move now?

IA: Sometimes things become part of pop culture, but they run their course. I think it’s time for it to be over.

LR: You said there’s a side of you that’s not cool. What did you mean?

IA: I’m a homebody. I already did all my wild shit. And that will wear you out. I’m glad I did all that early, because now I have so much to talk about in my music, and I don’t have to worry that I’m going to spiral out of control.

LR: Wasn’t there something on the Internet about you and a sex tape?

IA: Every week I have some sort of crisis that involves the Internet. I do not have a sex tape; I would remember if I had a sex tape. But if I did have a sex tape it would be completely fucking fine and my own business.

“Do That For (B.A.B.)”

Keyshia Cole released two new videos, “Do That For (B.A.B.)” and “New Nu.” Let us just warn you, “B.A.B.” means “Boss ass bitch” and in the first 15 seconds of the song, you’re thrust into a web of words that are just NSFW. But if you get past that, the song is actually catchy and offers up the anthem-making qualities Keyshia typically serves up, constantly asking, “What’d you do that for?” Evidently, Keyshia is telling us why she’s mad. “I’m about to let you know, When n*ggas ain’t sh*t, I get over it real quick cuz I be like…But after them few times, you gotta go, n*gga.”

Speaking of mad, Keyshia’s second new video release is for the track “New Nu” and it features an army fatigue-wearing, gun-toting Cole shooting at various men as she sings, “I try to stay and work it out but you don’t really wanna be here no…

(I’m on that new sh*t).” Could Keyshia be talking about Baby?! Check out “New Nu” below:

Up Next: Tamar Braxton Performs “Let Me Know” Live

Our favorite hard-working woman, Tamar Braxton performed her latest single “Let Me Know” in Atlanta as she was opening for the legendary group Maze & Frankie Beverly. “Let Me Know” is a track from Tamar’s upcoming and highly anticipated third studio album.

The youngest Braxton has made her music career dreams a reality and it’s been a beautiful thing to watch Tamar grow as an artist, mother and business woman. She recently revealed in an interview with V103 that her album would be released this April and since we haven’t stopped playing Love & War, it’s fair to say we’re going to be playing this new album non-stop too!

Check out Tamar singing “Let Me Know” in the video above. We’re just going to say…we’re proud of Tamar’s growth. Won’t He do it?!

Up Next: Mariah Carey’s Getting Ready For The End Of Her Career Her Big Vegas Stint!

Mariah Carey is rumored to have recently inked a deal to begin her Las Vegas residency. Well, at least she will be performing. Many artists go to Las Vegas to extend their career and cash in on their last few minutes of fame. Singers like Britney Spears and Celine Dion have made their exodus to the desert to sing for their devoted fans and have made millions. So it’s not a bad business venture!

While Mariah Carey is every bit of a living legend, we can’t deny that lately she’s been struggling to hit not only her signature high notes, but any notes in her songs.

According to reports, Carey will be earning more than the whopping $30 million Britney Spears was said to have made during her Vegas stint at Planet Hollywood. Rumor has it that Mariah show (The Elusive Chanteuse Show) will help support her latest studio album Me. I am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse. We personally never gave the album a fair chance, but we heard we didn’t have to because it’s well…not the typical divas-status that we expect from Mariah Carey. Either way, unless someone is giving out tickets after spending $25 at H&M, we probably won’t make it. We still love you Mimi, but we don’t want to see you like this.
