Iggy Azalea Hater Receives Brutal Clapback On Twitter

Iggy Azalea just dropped her single “Money Come” with an accompanying music video, and results are a bit mixed online. For the most part, her fans are happy to see her back in regular release mode, especially following a high-profile scandal due to her letter supporting Tory Lanez releasing online. However, that’s not to say that the Australian MC doesn’t have her fair share of haters online, too. Still, she’s never let them faze her, and she responded quite brutally to a particular Twitter user who hates that her newest song is seeing success. No matter what gets thrown her way, the 33-year-old will employ sass to defend herself.

“@IGGYAZALEA’s “Money Come” is now Top 50 on US Rhythmic Radio (Mediabase,” an original tweet read. That prompted Iggy Azalea to ask fans to keep requesting it on the airwaves. “Top 50? OH GIRL THE BAR IS IN HELL,” the hater in question replied. “You’d know,” the “Fancy” hitmaker clapped back. “You’ve been living down there your whole a** life. Typing away with sweaty hands and no grass to touch in sight. [shrugging emoji] [heart hands emoji].”

Iggy Azalea Claps Back At Twitter Hater

Fortunately for her, though, she’s been able to reflect on more positive experiences more than the negative ones. For example, Iggy Azalea recently recalled her concert in Brazil that, despite being subjected to heavy rainfall, was still an electric experience for her. “I look like a wet rat,” the Sydney native expressed on Twitter following her performance. “This was the most chaotic show I’ve ever done and probably my favorite. Don’t even care what I looked like or how wet we all were it was just fun and I hope I get to see you all again soon. Truly, I love you. Night.”

Meanwhile, it’ll be interesting to see whether this is the year that Iggy makes her massive comeback. While her profile in sheer artistic terms is not as high as what people criticize about her, she’s clearly on a path to set that record straight. With great performances behind the four-time Grammy nominee, she can certainly keep holding her own with compelling material and engagement.

Iggy Azalea Issued Fans In Saudi Arabia An Apology After Her Embarrassing Wardrobe Malfunction Caused Her To End The Show

Based on the lyrics of her new single, “Money Come,” financial gain is a clear motivating factor for rapper Iggy Azalea. Unfortunately, fans of Iggy weren’t able to get their money’s worth after she was reportedly forced to end her recent show early. On Friday, August 25, during Iggy’s scheduled concert at the Gamers8 event in Saudi Arabia, she suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.

Although Iggy has discussed her love for her body, her skin-tight onstage attire just couldn’t handle all the curves. In the clip captured by concertgoers, Iggy, dressed in what appears to be a latex catsuit, moves along to the choreography. But the garment quickly began to slip from her left leg, nearly exposing her intimate area.

As she places her hand to cover her private area, just in case the split rose any further, she looks to the side of the stage for guidance. Typically, a wardrobe malfunction can be brushed off, but because of the country’s strict dress code and other modesty laws, she ended the show.

In a now-deleted series of posts on social media, Iggy issued an apology to fans. On Instagram, she wrote, “Saudi Arabia… Wasssssss…. probably the worst possible place to have my pants split & unfortunately, I wasn’t permitted to end the show. 🤷‍♀️🥲. BUT silver lining, the promoters were amazingly kind to me & the PEOPLE who came were the absolute most supportive.”

In a screenshot captured by Page Six, Iggy also took to Twitter to write, “I love you guys. This was not what I intended for the show, but it’s a memory I’ll have forever & ultimately showed me how kind, loving & supportive people can be while you’re having such an embarrassing moment 😭🫶.”

Iggy Azalea’s ‘Money Come’ Video Is An Orgasmic Overthrowing Of The Patriarchy, But Not In A ‘Barbie’ Movie Sort Of Way

Iggy Azalea is clocking back into work. The rapper has been enjoying her newly found success on OnlyFans, but as promised, her new music has arrived. Iggy’s thirst for financial expansion, seen in the recent sale of her publishing catalog, is at the root of her new single, “Money Come.”

The record — produced by Tricky Stewart, JerkPoP, and Nana Afriyie — is the first offering from her forthcoming album. In the song, Iggy is locked into her wealth goal, tuning her haters out as she raps, “Say you gonna run up on who? I need proof / These b*tches p*ssies, their mouths are too loose / Still know some neighborhood boys who can shoot / I can put it on your head and they can put you on the news / P*ssy so wet, he need an anchor / Where that b*tch talkin’ sh*t? I wanna thank her / ‘Cause even though I don’t f*ck with you hoes / All the hatin’ kept my eyes on the money like a banker / Come baby, come baby, money make me come.”

For the official video, directed by Christian Breslaver, is an orgasmic overthrowing of the patriarchy and not in a Barbie movie sort of way.
Conceptually, “Money Come” is a crossbred of Meghan Trainor’s “Nice To Meet Ya” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Thot Sh*t” videos as Iggy, along with her fellow women in combat armed to the teeth, storm the office to take back control of the boardroom as a result the bag.

Trinidad James Approves Of Tory Lanez’s 10-Year Sentence, Wants Iggy Azalea To Mind Her Business

It took quite some time, but Tory Lanez finally got his sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion earlier this week. The father of one will still tell you that he’s innocent, and has even begun selling “Free Tory” merch from behind bars, and there are those who’ve made it abundantly clear they’re standing in support of the singer. On the other hand, there are many who believe that Lanez’s 10-year sentence is fair and that everyone besides the two recording artists involved in the situation needs to keep their mouths shut at this point.

Among the latter category is Trinidad James, who spoke with TMZ about his thoughts during a run-in at LAX. “I think the best thing that I can say, is that if you shoot somebody, you should go to jail to think about your actions,” he began. “If you didn’t shoot somebody, and you go to jail and you doing 10 years for something that you didn’t do, it kind of reminds me of the Kendrick Lamar lyric, ‘The one who pulls the trigger has to live forever.’ After you kill somebody, they die right then and there, but you have to keep thinking about it.”

Trinidad James Shares Thoughts on Tory Lanez with TMZ

James explained that he sees the “Say It” hitmaker’s situation the same way before the conversation turned to Iggy Azalea and the controversial letter the rap diva wrote in defence of Lanez. “[She] said how she felt, but she shouldn’t have said anything,” the 35-year-old declared. “It’s not her business, right? But it is her opinion.”

Iggy Azalea isn’t the only one being criticized for defending her friend Tory Lanez. R&B sensation Mario has also been feeling the heat after his letter to the criminal’s judge began circulating online earlier this week, though his backlash doesn’t seem to be quite as extreme as the Australian’s. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Iggy Azalea Hired Tory Lanez As Executive Producer On Her Next Album, Her Letter Says

Iggy Azalea’s letter to the judge regarding Tory Lanez’s sentence is out in full, and people have had no shortage of shocked, amused, indignant, or straight-up appalled reactions. Moreover, one of the most interesting parts of the letter has to do with the two artists’ continuous working relationship. In one part of her statement, the Australian rapper says that “if [Tory] is able to remain in the United States after he has served time, [she] would employ him without hesitation as an executive producer on [her] next album.” “In fact – I already hired him for the job prior to his conviction!” she expressed.

Furthermore, this is one of many defenses Iggy Azalea made in relation to the Canadian artist’s character. In addition, she also asked Judge David Herriford to consider a sentence that would be “transformational and not life destroying.” For example, the 33-year-old wishes that this sentence will not involve deportation to Canada so that he can continue to support his family and have work and income during his incarceration by being an artist in the U.S. “Any leniency you may afford him would be something you could be proud of,” Azalea stated.

Iggy Azalea’s Letter To Tory Lanez

Of course, after this letter’s full reveal, many people called her out for her explanatory Twitter post just days before. In it, Iggy Azalea claimed that she hasn’t been in contact with him for a very long time. Many felt that such a point became moot after the letter seemed to indicate that she spoke to Tory Lanez as soon as February of this year. Still, there is a lot of nuance to Azalea’s letter that the reality of Lanez’s crimes obfuscates. As she says, there’s a difference between rehabilitative punishment and punitive incarceration, but with a case as toxic and divisive as this, the threshold for forgiveness lessens.

Meanwhile, this is among the first times that his future music career fell under significant scrutiny following his release. Many haven’t yet thought about what the next ten years holds for him concerning his career. That conversation will surely roll around soon, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s able to still get play from behind bars despite what he was convicted of, as disappointing as that is for many. Regardless, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tory Lanez and Iggy Azalea.

Iggy Azalea’s Full Letter To Tory Lanez Gets Wild Reactions On Twitter

Tory Lanez’s sentencing is sweeping pretty much every media corner right now, and Iggy Azalea is, oddly enough, at the forefront. Moreover, social media users had a field day when the judge in Lanez’s case revealed that the Australian rapper and singer sent him a letter in support of him, one of over 70 that came in. Later on, she denied supporting him explicitly, and simply said that she was asked to give her honest opinion on the matter. However, after journalist Meghann Cuniff published the entire letter online, people blasted Azalea for her apparent lies and statements.

“I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser,” Iggy Azalea said of Tory Lanez in the letter. “I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman. He said this is an opportunity to humble himself and soften his heart- ironic to hear one of the kindest people I know strive to become even kinder. I’m not shocked- Its who he is. Watering and shining light on others until something beautiful grows. Daystar Peterson is not the pest you’ve heard about, he’s a gardener. He helps others bloom.”

Iggy Azalea’s Letter To Tory Lanez

Of course, a lot of people clowned the flowery and generous portrayal of the Canadian artist. However, a more salient point was that Iggy Azalea did seem quite supportive of him, even as she claimed that she hadn’t spoken to him in a long time. From what this letter indicated, the 33-year-old reached out to him around February, and many took issue with her trying to cover that part up. Still, it’s easy to put her statements out of context. Whether she directly addressed the Megan Thee Stallion situation or not, her attempt to exalt Tory Lanez makes it hard to see it as anything other than full support.

Meanwhile, a lot of people also took issue with Iggy’s comments given that she alleged mistreatment at the hands of her former partner Playboi Carti. As such, many called her hypocritical for this support. Amid all those criticisms, though, this letter in full only made people clown her even more. Check out some reactions to the letter down below.

Twitter Reacts To The Letter

Regardless of this situation, this sentence already changed significantly. It’s probably going to keep doing so, and the discourse surrounding it will likely permeate for a long time. After all, this letter just added another element to an already wild, contentious, and scandalous trial. For more news and the latest updates on Iggy Azalea and Tory Lanez, check back in with HNHH.

The Letter Iggy Azalea Wrote For The Tory Lanez Shooting Trial Has Been Shared In Full

Before Tory Lanez was sentenced to a decade in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, it was reported that Iggy Azalea wrote a letter to the judge on behalf of Lanez, which she later addressed. Now, we have the full letter.

Meghann Cuniff, a legal affairs journalist who has been covering the trial and sentencing, obtained a copy of the letter, which was written in February. Azalea wrote, “I deeply appreciate the person he is and have never witnessed him loose his temper or raise his voice at a woman. He’s always been incredibly respectful of me and I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman.”

She also noted, “I must make note of the things ive suffered through so that you understand definitively: I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser.”

Read the full letter below.

“Dear Honorable Judge Herriford,

I’m writing to you in regards to a case in your court.

My name is Iggy Azalea and I’ve been a successful musician for the last decade.

Ive sold over 65 million records throughout my career, had number 1 hits on the billboard hot 100 and broken records previously held by ‘The Beatles’.

My music has been nominated for 6 Grammys and I have a multitude of other musical awards.

Throughout my career I’ve toured with some of the biggest acts in music: from Beyonce to Pitbull.
Ive also collaborated with everyone from Britney Spears to Jenifer Lopez. In short, like yourself, I’m great at what I do and I’m well respected by my peers.

Becoming successful is incredibly hard to do and maintaining success is even harder.

The music industry is not designed to empower Artists – especially not women.

You learn to expect misogyny at every turn, no matter how much you’ve personally achived.

Sadly I’ve spent my entire career battling sexism and bad behavior behind the curtains.

One unfortunate consequence of that is I am victim of abuse myself.

I must make note of the things ive suffered through so that you understand definitively:
I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser.

In fact, its the very reason I felt it imperative I share my viewpoint as a woman in music: in regard to Daystar Peterson.

You are presiding over his case and It would mean a great deal to me if you’d please let me share with you why ‘Tory Lanez’ is far from your average entitled rap star.

I believe in justice and I know you do too. You’ve dedicated your life’s work to it and I respect that deeply.

Thats why im taking my time to do this, because I know the person you are understands in order to truly conclude what a fair sentence is, You need better understanding of who the person you’re sentencing IS at their core.

Judge Herriford, I was elated when I saw your name in relation to this trial because you have a reputation of being a very fair judge.

In fact its one of the reasons I was sadnned Daystar had subpar legal counsel and did not take the stand at his own trial.

We’ve all been frozen in fear before. The unfortunate side effect of his choice is he’s been painted in the most unrecognizable way: to you, the jury and the public.

Daystar Peterson is not the pest you’ve heard about, he’s a gardener. He helps others bloom. Any leniency you may afford him would be something you could be proud of.

You see, daystar has been helping me from the moment I met him. Our paths crossed in 2018 while working in the same recording studio. Although he was writing music for another artist, he took the initiative to come to my room in his break time and play song ideas he’d written for me too.

This resonated with me because it’s highly unusual for someone who’s already very successful to want to help others.

Music is competitive in that way.

We’ve remained friends since and what I’ve come to understand about Daystar is: he’s genuinely passionate about helping others. He will go out of his way to help someone he sees even a glimmer of greatness inside.

Although he’s an incredible songwriter, it’s my belief this is his true gift.

Seeing what could be, and becoming the driving force to make it happen.

He battled and overcame some incredible odds on his pathway to success, in many ways he’s still battling now.

I think that’s one of the reasons he always fights hard to elevate others.

One of my favorite examples of this is the story of how he came to hire his personal assistant; Mario.

Daystar was stopped at a red-light with his window down when a guy in his early twenties yelled from the sidewalk:

‘Im chasing a dream too and ill do anything to work with you! Im working for postmates! Please let me give you my resume.’

Shockingly Daystar took his number, called the next day and interviewed him for a job.
He wasn’t in need of another employee. Still he created an internship and later a full time job for Mario. Ive seen him silently help people empower themselves in this way time and time again.

He creates space for others to be great.

I deeply appreciate the person he is and have never witnessed him loose his temper or raise his voice at a woman.

He’s always been incredibly respectful of me and I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman.

Ive witnessed him defuse so many sticky situations with kindness and humor, he is the last person to loose his cool.

I’ve never encountered this jealous, rage filled person he’s accused of being. I know him to be someone who’s always bursting with happiness. In the moments you want to cry, if you call daystar, he will find a way to make you laugh.

Since Daystar remains in jail, many of his employees are left without work. I took it upon myself to hire six of his staff members, full time.

I did this not only because they are great hardworking people, but so that they remain in a position to transition back into running his business when he’s completed his sentence. Im doing all I can to make sure he’s in a position to come home and get back to work.

I hope that you’ll consider a sentence that allows for this to be transformational and not life destroying. Not only for Daystar – but for his family, son and the countless others who depend on him & are committed to helping him reach his full potential.

If daystar is able to remain in the United States after he has served his time, I would employ him without hesitation as an executive producer on my next album.
In fact – I already hired him for the job prior to his conviction!

I guarantee to you he has significant income and work awaiting him upon release if you would kindly consider a sentence that does not require deportation.

I have remained in close contact with him during his incarceration and I am confident he has already gained positive insight in regard to this experience. He leads a prayer circle nightly and is already empowering others during his time in Jail.

In fact when we spoke last week, told me he’s glad God put him in jail. He said this is an opportunity to humble himself and soften his heart – ironic to hear one of the kindest people I know strive to become even kinder.

Im not shocked – Its who he is!

Watering and shinning light on others until something beautiful grows.

Thank you for taking the time to hear what I have to say in relation to Daystars character.

Kind regards,

Iggy Azalea.”

Iggy Azalea Explained The Letter She Wrote For The Tory Lanez Shooting Trial And Her Relationship With Him Now

Tory Lanez’s sentencing in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial was set to be delivered yesterday (August 7), but it was ultimately postponed to today. One interesting note from yesterday, though, was the fact that Iggy Azalea was one of many people who wrote a letter on Lanez’ behalf. Now, she has clarified what’s going on with that.

An X (aka Twitter) user wrote, “I’m trying to find an issue with this. What is the big deal with Iggy showing support to her friend? Anyone who followed the case would know there was inconclusiveness and lies throughout the whole thing. Even Megan tried to protect Tory, so what is the big deal with Iggy comforting her friend with a PRIVATE letter? @MeghannCuniff stated there were over 70+ letters sent, yet she only name-drops Iggy? Weird. Iggy sending a letter doesn’t mean she condones what Tory allegedly did. It is simply her being there for her friend; many of you would do the same.”

To that, Azalea responded:

“For the record:

1. I have not been in touch with tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well.

2. I don’t ‘support’ anyone.
the whole thing is full of oddities. My letter never mentioned anything in regard to what happened that night.

3. I was told this was for a judge only, yet it’s being discussed in public? I never intended to publicly comment.

4. Iam not in support of throwing away ANY ones life if we can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead.
I support prison reform. Period.

5. I was asked to write about my genuine experience and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did.

It’s not really that interesting but I understand why it’s being sensationalized. . . [shrugging emoji]

See ya next week to discuss pizza toppings I suppose. Lol.”

Another user responded, “people really get on this app and say anything for a few clicks you shouldn’t even have to address this.” Azalea replied, “I really hate that this is todays discourse online because it’s not really an explosive revelation. Yes: he should be held accountable. No: the charges don’t warrant 5plus in prison. Most agree with that sentiment because it’s a reasonable take. This is not news worthy. [shrugging emoji].”

Iggy Azalea Responds To Tory Lanez Letter Drama

Iggy Azalea recently caused a lot of controversy on Twitter when the court in Tory Lanez’s case revealed that she wrote one of over 70 letters supporting him. Of course, this ruffled feathers because of Lanez’s guilty conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, a fellow female rapper. Not only that, but some believe that this is because Megan never collaborated with the Australian rapper. However, Iggy actually responded to all this drama on Twitter. Replying on Twitter to coverage of her letter, she addressed this development and the criticism towards her, maintaining that she didn’t side with anyone and that her beliefs go deeper than who’s right in this case.

“For the record,” Iggy Azalea’s tweet began. “1. I have not been in touch with Tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well. 2. I don’t ‘support’ anyone. The whole things is full of oddities. My letter never mentioned anything in regard to what happened that night.” Her subsequent points detail the circumstances of the letter itself, and why she thinks advocating for Tory Lanez is important regardless of guilt.

“3. I was told this was for a judge only. Yet it’s being discussed in public?” Iggy Azalea continued. “I never intended to publicly comment. 4. I am not in support of throwing away ANY ones life. We can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead. I support prison reform. Period. 5. I was asked to write about my genuine experiences and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did. It’s not really that interesting but I understand why it’s being sensationalized… See ya next week to discuss pizza toppings I suppose.

No: the charges don’t warrant 5plus in prison. Most agree with that sentiment because it’s a reasonable take. This is not news worthy.”

Iggy’s Response To Fan

Meanwhile, speaking of statements, Megan Thee Stallion issued one of her own during the hearing on Lanez’s sentencing via the District Attorney. Given the animosity-filled and murky nature of this discourse and case, statements like these were never going to land well for everyone no matter what. Still, it stands to reason that the 33-year-old’s motive behind the letter isn’t as vindictive or dismissive of Megan’s story as it might seem to fans. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Iggy Azalea and the Tory Lanez case.
