The hacktivist group known as Anonymous threatened singer Iggy Azalea on Friday with a scandal “bigger than Bill Cosby’s” if she does not apologize to rapper Azealia Banks. The group also claims to have a sex tape of the singer, but says it will not release it.
Anonymous tweeted at Azalea to apologize to Banks within 48 hours, BroBible reports.
We apologize for our followers with regards to this following statement: Fuck you, @IGGYAZALEA. #ICantBreathe

You are guilty of misappropriating black culture, insulting peaceful protesters, and making light of Eric Garner’s death. @IGGYAZALEA

Azalea and Banks are in a nasty feud and have repeatedly attacked each other in interviews and on Twitter. Banks — and Anonymous — believe Azalea is a detriment to black culture and racial equality.
Banks criticized Azalea in an interview with Hot 97, saying her music isn’t better than any black artist. “That Macklemore album wasn’t better than the Drake record. That Iggy Azalea shit is not better than any f**king black girl that’s rapping today,” Banks declared.
Azalea shot back on Twitter, slamming Banks’ attitude and calling her a bigot.
Special msg for banks: There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven’t is because of your piss poor attitude.

Your inability to be responsible for your own mistakes, bullying others, the inability to be humble or have self control. It’s YOU!

you created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don’t have the mental capacity to realize yet. Probably never will.
