Did you really think Iggy Azalea was going to go quiet after quitting Twitter? Not a chance. Iggy’s been fired up lately and hitting various radio shows. Iggy spoke with Power 106 yesterday (via TMZ), and her boyfriend (Nick Young of the LA Lakers), joined the conversation. She revealed him as “a sleep farter” and a really messy guy, but that’s okay because they have a full-time housekeeper. Nick said Iggy’s too much of “a lady” to fart during sleep. Iggy also talked about why she quit social media: “It makes me hate people and I don’t wanna hate people. My job is entertaining people. It’s really hard to do that when you feel like what the hell is going on with humanity that we’re all doing this?”

Iggy also stopped by the “Zach Sang & The Gang” show to complain about how she gets no respect from rappers. There are a lot of reasons for this, starting with how Iggy doesn’t rap the same way she speaks. We’ve covered that a lot in terms of Iggy’s cultural appropriation. She’s unwilling to gain wisdom and thinks everyone criticizes her simply because she’s a woman. Iggy now says everyone knows she’s an amazing rapper, but no one will admit it.

Do other rappers respect Iggy? “No, I think ultimately they don’t, but I think … it’s very frustrating for me with them because I’ll have personal relationships with them outside of the media that people maybe don’t understand or realize how deep that goes. And so then I find it particularly personally offensive when they oftentimes take on the general opinion of others on the viewership to try and get clicks. Things like that, I’m like, ‘I’m finding that pretty unrespectable right now. Which are you? Don’t text my phone.’ But it’s fine. It’s a tough world out there for rappers.”

Does she want to play that game? “No. That’s why I don’t do interviews. I don’t have to play it. It doesn’t benefit me. It only kind of helps to put out misinformation on things that aren’t really helpful to me or people who aren’t understanding my character or who I am or my art. ”

Why doesn’t Iggy get respect? “They know, deep down. I think they know. They just don’t want to admit it. That’s what I think. I have a feeling. That’s why they’re mad. Because they do know that I actually am good, and they can’t really accept that. But we could be friends, and this could all be easy. Or we could not, and I could send Bitcoin sh*t chocolate boxes to your door. But I’m still going to be here.”

At least Iggy and Nicki Minaj have delusions of rap grandeur in common. There are moments when I wonder whether we should all leave Iggy alone. Then I remember she’s said so many terrible things. She also refuses to believe any criticism against her is valid. She doesn’t get why other white rappers like Eminem and Macklemore don’t receive the same treatment. Iggy doesn’t notice that they are rapping with their own voices and speaking to their own experiences. Whereas Iggy changes her voice and lets her ghostwriters pen inauthentic (and racist) lyrics.

Here’s the clip of Iggy talking big with Zach Sang.
