Perez Hilton Defends Iggy Azalea


Gossip blogger Perez Hilton defends rapper Iggy Azalea from singer R&B singer K. Michelle. 

A US singer has fired off at Australian star Iggy Azalea, for daring to rap like an American despite being “from another country”.
The rant by Tennessee-born K Michelle inspired celerity gossip columnist Perez Hilton to dive in to the Aussie artist’s defence — sparking a Twitter duel with the “offended” K-Mich.
The flaming began after Michelle questioned the Australian rapper’s bona fides, tweeting: “How can you be from another country and rap like you’re from Memphis TN? But u don’t hear me though #offended.”
Azalea’s single Fancy is currently no 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Hilton jumped in: “I think you chose the wrong hashtag and meant to say #jealous instead! X,” to which Michelle snarked: “Stay in ur place Cinderella!!!!”
Hilton and Michelle went head to head from there.
Azalea, wisely, stayed out of it.
Azalea, 23, who grew up in Mullumbimby on the New South Wales north coast, raps in a southern American accent. “I lived in the South for five years; you pick up things from your surroundings and teachers,” she told Pop Manifesto. “The people who taught me to rap are all from the South and so was the music I had listened to as a teen.”
Azalea, whose speaking voice still sounds Australian, left school and moved to the United States at 16 years old to pursue her music career. “To be 100 per cent honest, I don’t have any friends in Australia, just my family,” she said. “I identify with Australian culture, of course; I was raised there. But there are parts of other cultures I identify with more, which is why I moved.”

I don't mind Iggy. Any female making noise in this misogynistic, male dominated "hip hop" world is OK with me. Chicks love to tear eachother down.

Perez is a white racist cuban who loves and defends Paris Hilton another known racist. This is not surprise he is doing what I expected him to do. Izzy is a no talent hack.

The only reason she is getting so much hype is becasue she is white making a failed attempt of being black. I know some undground female rappers that would eat her alive.

Why does it have to be about the color of her skin? The same people saying that others are racist are acting racist themselves. If you don't like her music then don't listen, but stop making it a race thing...
