IFWT_Iggy_Azalea_TI_Defense

Damn you 140-character driven social media. As he should, T.I. has come to Iggy Azalea’s defense, yet again. After Azealia Banks spoke with Hot 97’s morning crew, she caused a great debate involving racism and hip hop. Of course, Iggy happened to have been the center of that debate, due to the two having a well-known and on-going beef. Following the interview, some artists were not feeling Banks and other artists, like Q-Tip, had her back.

“@IGGYAZELEA hiphop now was FOR EVERYBODY!! All of those who cld relate to the root, the spirit, the history, the energy.. It reached YOU,” Q_Tip tweeted. “@IGGYAZALEA the music was undeniable! It moved from NY N became national and even GLOBAL,” he continued on in a two-hour long session.

You know you can’t come for Iggy without the king homie sitting in a corner. Let’s just say, if you thought Q-Tip went in for quite some time, hit the jump to see what T.I. had to say in Iggy’s defense.

Iggy spoke on her own behalf, but T.I. has had to protect his investment on numerous occasions this year. There was the Nicki Minaj fiasco, and who could forget Snoop Dogg versus Iggy. Well, the “No Mediocre” rapper hits up Twitter to defend Iggy from the wrath of Q-Tip’s hip hop lesson.

“Yes @IGGYAZELEA @QtipTheAbstract all these facts are true. This is useful info to absorb as U find yourself in da midst of several people who U may not share many things in common with besides #HipHop. Understanding the plight assists U in knowing how to accept, respect…& live in harmony even without a boatload of similarities…rights & respect we KNOW WE DESERVE in other areas of humanity… WE’RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES. AND THATS NOT HIP HOP!!!!”
