She got into several online spats last yea with female rapper Azealia Banks, and Iggy Azalea wishes that she could have a do-over. The 25-year-old graces the cover of Elle Canada's April issue, and admitted to the magazine that she has some regrets over her very public feuds. Photos after the cut.
She said:
'If
I could, I would Men in Black memory-erase 2015, I totally would—that
would be amazing!' she confessed. 'Oh, God, there are so many things.'
Iggy
cited her row with Azealia Banks as 'what really started it all'. The
feud began in December 2014 when Azealia accused her fellow rapper of
not caring about 'black issues'. However
Fancy hit-maker Iggy insisted that she was dismissing the 24-year-old
for 'personal' reasons - and that she does support the Black Lives
Matter movement.
'We don’t like each other on a personal level, and that has gone on for many years—before the Black Lives Matter incident happened,' Iggy told Elle Canada.'So when I dismissed her, people started to think that I dismissed the whole movement, but I wasn’t trying to dismiss Black Lives Matter—I was trying to dismiss her because it’s our personal s***.
She
added:
'I don’t think the subject matter of her tweet was invalid; I just think it was emotionally charged and driven by something else, and the whole thing got so misconstrued.'I just wish I had acknowledged the issue head-on because it made people think I don’t care about what’s going on socially and what’s happening in America, and I do care.'
Iggy
concluded by saying that despite her regrets about how the feud played
out, that doesn't change her feelings towards Azealia.
'Even though I still hate Azealia Banks, I wish I had said it in a way that didn’t make people think I was oblivious to the movement,' she said.
The
row began when Azealia called Iggy out for not weighing in on the
decision not to indict NYPD officer Daniel Paantaleo for the chokehold
death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man.
'It's
funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things
happen... Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't huh?'
Azealia tweeted.
Iggy,
born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, responded with a lengthy Twitter rant,
accusing Azealia of 'bullying others' and branding her 'poisonous'.
