In a recent interview with Thisis50, rapper Rah Digga was what her feelings were toward Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. Stating that she is not a fan of Iggy’s music, this what Rah Digga had to say:
“Iggy Azalea it’s like I can’t get into her,” Rah Digga said in the interview. “Because it’s just not real to me…There is a White girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into. Teach me Australian Hip Hop culture. Don’t come to America and try to convince me that you’re Gangsta Boo…Personally, I don’t consider her Hip Hop. I listen to her album. Everything that I hear on there is everything but that. And I feel like Hip Hop is Hip Hop.”
the next day, Iggy responded to the “hate” via Twitter by describing her music as not hip-hop and labeling it as just “music.” Also, later on Rah Digga responded via Twitter to let the fans know.
its definetly funny seeing ppl get so emotional over it all. What does it matter? music is music and many enjoy mine, no need to feel upset.

I honestly don’t really mind if I’m described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014
Next time I’ll try to be MORE clear when I’m speaking on someone specifically vs Hip Hop as a whole..tho I thought I did that several times.
