Feuding female rappers Iggy Azalea and Nicki Minaj may be on a truce after both parties denied having any problems with each other, but Minaj's fans may not have gotten the memo. This is after a fan dissed Azalea on Instagram comparing her album sales to Minaj's perfume.
Fashion & Style reports that months ago, Minaj allegedly dissed Azalea for not writing her own songs, but just recently, it's not Minaj herself doing the dissing. A fan of the "Anaconda" singer supposedly posted an offending Instagram post comparing Azalea's album with Minaj's perfume sales. According to the post, "Iggy may have #1 single, but this bottle of perfume sold more than her whole album...in one day."
Not to back down from the post, Azalea purportedly commented, saying, "I must be doing something right again cause all you trolls are back on my nutsack."
According to Fashion & Style, this will not be the first feud Azalea will be involved in, as another rapper, Rah Digga, supposedly dissed on Azalea's style and position in hip-hop. Rah Digga doesn't think that Azalea represents the genre and urges Azalea to "capitalize off the super modeling thing" instead.
Minaj and Azalea are pitted against each other as female rappers with different styles, and Azalea collaborating with Jennifer Lopez for the song "Booty" did not make things easier. The Star says that Lopez' posterior is being compared with Minaj's. "Anaconda" offers plenty of "bootylicious" scenes, while Azalea and Lopez' "Booty" also has a sultry nature to it. The Star describes "Booty" video: "The video, crisply shot in shades of grey and black, isn't as colourful or absurd as Minaj's. It aims to be seductively highbrow while Minaj's was campy and cartoonish."
Though her "cartoonish" single is getting negative comments, it hasn't stopped Minaj from achieving success. According to Hot New Hip-Hop, Minaj's "Anaconda" has already gone platinum. Minaj herself shared the news on Instagram, saying, "Just released on UK iTunes and is now certified #Platinum in America." Meanwhile, the article lists that Azalea has already achieved platinum status for "Fancy."
