In the world of the rich and famous feuding with other celebs is certainly not so uncommon. Of course, some celebs are more prone to it as they love inserting themselves into drama. One star who has had numerous feuds with other famous people is definitely rapper Iggy Azalea.
Today, we're taking a look at all the celebs the Australian rapper has beefed with. From pop divas like Britney Spears and Rita Ora to fellow rappers like Eminem and Nicki Minaj — here are the stars Iggy is not besties with!
10 Azealia Banks (2011)
We're kicking the list off with fellow rapper Azealia Banks. Iggy Azalea's feud with the fellow rapper started back in 2011 when Banks tweeted this: "Once wrote a song called 'Barbie Shit,' but Nicki Minaj blew up like the week after so I took it down, lololz. I felt corny. Also wrote a song called P-U-$-$-Y before Iggy Azalea."
To that Iggy responded: "It's NEVER been about who did it first... it's ALWAYS been about who did it better." Of course, with that, the beef between the two ladies started and they haven't been on good terms ever since — even though they have tried.
9 Tyler The Creator (2014)
Next on the list is yet another fellow rapper — this time we're talking about Tyler, the Creator. In an interview on the BET show 106 & Park Tyler, The Creator said that Iggy Azalea stinks and he even suggested that certain parts of her are very fake. Of course, Iggy wouldn't be Iggy if she didn't call out the rapper on it — which is why she quickly tweeted that he is "beyond immature." Just like that, their beef started.
8 Lorde (2014)
Let's move on to musician Lorde. Her beef with Iggy Azalea started in 2014 when Iggy commented on Lorde's performance tribute to Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Here's what Iggy said:
"Nothing against her, but I think when you're doing a tribute to someone that's dead, generally it should be the person's peer. Lorde is not Kurt Cobain's peer. No matter if she killed the performance or not, I just don't think it's appropriate."
While the two have reconciled since — it's safe to say that they will never be besties.
7 Nicki Minaj (2014)
Another famous female rapper that made it onto today's list is Nicki Minaj. In 2014 things were pretty dramatic between Nicki and Iggy when Nicki publicly shaded Iggy during her acceptance speech at the BET Awards. Here's what Nicki said:
"What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it."
At the time, there were rumors that Iggy is using a ghostwriter which is why this didn't sit too well with the Australian rapper. Iggy's response was this:
"If I had won the BET award that would’ve been great but it wasn’t my year & I don’t mind – so you shouldn’t either. Generally speaking, I’m unbothered by anything that ‘happened’ at the BET awards and just feel worn out by everyone trying to make me have wars with people all the time."
6 Snoop Dogg (2014)
Let's move on to rapper Snoop Dogg who also started his beef with Iggy back in 2014. Back then the rapper posted an unflattering photo of a blonde man on Instagram and he captioned it "Iggy Azalea with no makeup." Of course, it didn't take Iggy too long to respond. Here's what the Australian rapper tweeted:
"Why would you post such a mean pic on insta when you send your bodyguards to ask me for pictures every time we are at shows? Every time I’ve ever spoken to you you’ve been nice as hell. I’m disappointed you’d be such an a** for no reason."
5 Eminem (2014)
In 2014 the beef between Iggy Azalea and Eminem also started with this lyric from Eminem's Shady XV album:
"So what's it gon' be? Put that shit away, Iggy. You don't wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it. 'Fore I get lost with the gettin' off."
As fans know, the feud is still happening, and in 2019 the feud was once again reignited with this lyric from Eminem's album WWCD:
"Compare me to Manson, Marilyn or Charles / Compare me to Nas, Biggie, or Pac / Do not compare me to that Iggy b***h or all this f*****g Milli Vanilli hip hop."
4 Britney Spears (2015)
Next on the list is pop diva Britney Spears who collaborated with Iggy Azalea on the song "Pretty Girls."
However, the song was a major flop and when Iggy was asked about it during a Twitter Q&A she immediately blamed Britney for the song being unsuccessful. When Britney's fans came to her defense, Iggy insisted that she couldn't have done much as she wasn't the lead artist of the song, and the lead artist needed to promote it more.
3 Rita Ora (2015)
In 2014 Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea collaborate on the song "Black Widow" and at the time things seemed fine between the two musicians. However, only a year later Rita Ora listed Iggy as a possible collaborator for a Lady Marmalade remake and Iggy was not too happy. Here's what she tweeted:
"Please leave me out of the whole Lady Marmalade conversation. I have nothing to do with Rita's ideas & agree it should be left alone. Thanks."
2 Macklemore (2016)
Let's move on to rapper Macklemore. In 2016 the musician released his song "White Privilege II," and in it he called Iggy out for exploiting black culture. Here are the lyrics:
"You've exploited and stolen the music, the moment/ The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with/ The culture was never yours to make better/ You're Miley, you're Elvis, you're Iggy Azalea."
When asked about the song on Twitter, Iggy said this:
"He shouldn't have spent the last 3 years having friendly convos and taking pictures together at events etc if those were his feelings."
1 Halsey (2017)
And finally, wrapping the list up is musician Halsey whose beef with Iggy started in 2017. In an interview from that year, Halsey called Iggy a "f*****g moron," and Iggy was quick to respond. Here's what Iggy said:
"It’s kind of like if we were talking right now and I just randomly started talking about Janet Jackson or something. To me, because I’m a famous person and I know a lot of the time people have opinions and they’re not always accurate, I really try very hard not to give my personal opinions about people that I don’t know. I don’t know her. I’ve never met her."
