Iggy azalea dismisses allegations of blackfishing in 'i am the stripclub'

[TaylorSwift 162,480]

Iggy Azalea has hit back at people accusing her of blackfishing in her music video I Am The Stripclub.

 

She was criticised by those who believed she had used a dark wig and make-up  to pretend to be black or mixed-race, but she blasted her accusers and called the claims 'ridiculous and baseless'.

She says she's wearing the 'same shade' make-up she's used for 3 years.

I think the problem is the homogeneity in makeup styles that make EVERYONE look the SAME  ie. undercheek baking, extreme contour, overlined lips, arched “fleeked” brows…

She's right. Now spend this energy on supporting her.

I don't see how she's blackfishing

[Levine 23,959]

I don't get the blackfishing thing like why a person should do that? Black people stream more and buy more music? Legit question, no tea no shade.

She has a new video?! I need to go see, she always serves  

[RenegAde 20,558]

The fact that she had to post receipts of the kind of make up she uses  is so sad , what type of scrutiny is this

Since when is wearing a black wig blackfishing?! Like as if white people couldn't have black hair and have recognizable tanned skin? Not every white person if blonde and pale as f**k. 

I understand the general problem, but I think it's annoying that people nowadays criticize every little thing and try to make something big out of nothing.

People love being pressed

She looks more like Demi Lovato or Hispanic for that matter then black so I don’t understand why people have to sit on the internet and find something to be offended by when is NOT even close to the argument they argue

That Work scene at the beginning of the video was kinda cool

[Helxig 45,367]

I mean... she's absolutely right on this one. People are ****ing dumb

When I saw the image, I thought it was Demi Lovato for 2 seconds and had to check the title of the thread.
