Defending someone as consistently maligned as Iggy Azalea is noble if we’re speaking from a strictly humanistic standpoint. That said, you have to be ready to defend yourself on Twitter if you choose to do so. The still-combustible Lupe Fiasco was not, and his kind gesture has turned into what looks like another social media meltdown.
Unlike T.I., an indignant Fiasco turned to vitriol in response to his mentions. From the B-word to the empty Tetsuo & Youth promo, it wasn’t pretty. Check out what he had to say below as the saga of Iggy Azalea continues.
Iggy has a place in HipHop…her place…. @MsGina_Kool
