No. 

The Azealia Banks stans, many who don't even care much or at all for Gaga, lead the hate parade here.

The backlash didn't come out of nowhere, there were a lot of very touchy issues surrounding not only the way she sold herself as a hip hop artist, but to questionable tweets and to other racially based dramas around the urban music community, a lot of it fair.

However, in saying that, hopefully she can salvage something of her career and try and move beyond it, a lot of it wasn't handled very well from her end over the last couple years, and even though she was a target, it did get messy from her end a few times and i don't really think she ever took the opportunity to really address things as well as she should have, but whatever..............its clearly been a rough time for her and she seems like shes doing better now. I like the song, if she has success with album 2 good for her, but she does bare SOME responsibility regarding backlash she got.

Poor Iggy Love you girl!

This is heartbreaking. I mean I'm not a fan of hers but no one deserves to live in pain and the hate thatshe gets is not justified. Really makes me sad.

How am I being utopic? Most celebrities don't want to hear the truth, and so will hire people who only say YES to them, and they fire people who dare ask them uncomfortable questions, such as "Are you sure you're feeling okay?"

Saying people can get "immune to hate". Even people surrounded by yes people aren't blind and deaf, you know.

Not really, why would LMs hate Iggy, lol. You may think so cause there used to be a lot of Azealia fans on GGD back in the day.

Playing the victim card isn't going to win the haters back. Some people (most of them in this thread apparently) will feel bad for her, but the majority won't. It's not unjustified hate. That's the thing...

While I do agree some of the comments towards her are a bit much from time to time, she's just done things that are inexcusable. Naomi Campbell made a mistake when she threw that phone at her assistant, Azealia Banks made a mistake when she smacked that security guard, Bieber made a mistake when he egged his neighbours house and Britney made a mistake when she planted that umbrella in the paparazzi car. Simple. But those are moments of "losing your sh*t", rage infused spats or misbehaviour. But what Iggy did is different just plain wrong. She was an up and coming rapper when she got on that Kendrick Lamar beat and said "I'm a runaway slave master". She wasn't angry like Azealia was when she has her Twitter rages or beat downs in nightclubs. She was focussed and consciously said those things. She looked seductively into the camera and made the whip motion when she said that line in the video. That's inexcusable. ESPECIALLY if you are a rapper. Rap music stems from black culture. I'm not saying she shouldn't be a rapper because of her skin color but don't dare to call yourself, a white woman in a pre-dominantly black industry, "a slave master". She should have known better. You can't tweet about an Asian lady sitting in the wrong seat on the airplane and say "Well, you gon' learn English today b*tch!" or that "Mexicans have a box body." She tweeted all of that, fully knowing she was (back then) a semi-famous rapper and on the bring of a commercial break-through. And yeah Azealia calls people "f*gg*ts" all of the time, but she's bisexual and 90% of her fanbase is gay. It's like gay men calling each other that. She's excused (not by everyone, obviously) because she's part of the community. There's this old clip of Madonna backstage at her tour trying on an accessory and her (gay) team is with her and she's asking their opinion on the piece. They said "no" so she said "Well, if two fags say it's not good, you can't wear it." Meanwhile she's been the biggest LGBT icon and defender since the 80's. In a time where it wasn't politically correct to support LGBT, she still did. So she, is excused for saying "fag". A guy walking down the street, isn't. Iggy Azealia on Twitter or in a song, isn't excused. It's about context, it's about learning what's the border between edgy, funny or whatever and being completely discriminatory and/or racist.

She knows damn well that if it wasn't for those tweets and the fact she sounds like a nasal woman from The Bronx on her songs, people would've given her a pass. She's not horrible, she makes bops from time to time, but she is no Kendrick Lamar, Lil' Kim, Lauryn Hill or Queen Latifah. She is a cute girl that has a sort of lighthearted pop/rap fusion. She isn't talking about life struggles like NAS or about black women's issues like Queen Latifah did. But that's not why she get's all the hate now. It's in addition to making racist comments in the first place. The black community has given loads of "passes" to white girls rapping. Look at Fergie. But all of that is going out of the window if Fergie tweets some stupid racist sh*t tomorrow.

All this bull about the hate in this video... "People hate me for different reasons. Some because of the music and the fact it's pop and sometimes because I'm not black..." Girl, please. You know damn well it started with the racist thing and all of the rest is in addition to that. When you're a new artist and when you're a white artist in a genre that stems from black culture, in a time where racism is one of the number one topics and actual riots are happening, you can't be a cute white rap/pop chick and say racist stuff. It's as simple as that. People saying she's not a real rapper and that she's not talented will always happen, that's not the core reason for the MASSIVE backlash. Many people hated on Nicki Minaj when she did Super Bass and Starships and blended rap with pop music... That will always happen when you fuse a hardcore genre with mainstream chorusses to get it to the masses. But Nicki got away with it and the hate didn't overtake her entire career because she's never said something discriminatory. 

And don't quote me with that tweet where she apologises about the slave master lyric. I can feel Lance quote me as I type this. I'm waiting on a song where she truly lays it out bare, where she can spit bars with a good flow, rapping about these issues and seriously retract her obvious racist tweets and lyrics. Preferably also without sounding like a nasal African American New York woman with a vocal fry on top. 

She needs to show respect for the community and lend her voice to the issues from a community and a genre that brought her the success she's had and quit the stereotype "black" rap voice. She knows damn well that's whats up.

Until that day, she'll be Igloo Racistralia and POC and others will not forgive her easily.

ARE YOU ****ING WITH THE TEAM!!!!!!

Lol this whole post is sad atempt.....

OT:i hope she feels better now,its sad how pwople hated her just because it was a thimg to hate her

[Dominic 11,922]

Everyone is racist nowadays,  hell Gaga was even branded racist just a couple days ago.  It's ridiculous. The hate she got and still gets has never been justified.  

I don't understand why Iggy really bothers some people? Like you may dislike her music but she's hardly done anything disgustingly bad to justify such hatred.  I have always put it down to jealousy, I've never been one to buy into that 'cultural appropriation' rubbish people used to justify the attack of another person.

Please reread my post. I said that being famous can either make you immune to hate or it can amplify depression. 

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

I remember the hate she used to get even here 

[teenagechrist 2,853]

This is very sad. The hate she recieves is completely unjustified, just because she made a few unfortunate ignorant tweets in the past doesn't give anyone the right to humiliate her and sabotage everything she does. There are way more artists to hate for being racist, she already apologised for it, let the woman breathe, it's not like she's Hitler or something This cultural appropiation bs is pure nonesense

[Manul 7,377]

She looks so tired. 

Hopefully her new album will find success.
