Kanye’s got nothing on this
Iggy Azalea is having a pretty big year, and despite lackluster sales numbers for the album she released earlier this year, The New Classic, she’s transcended being the femcee of T.I.‘s Grand Hustle crew, and has become rap’s 2014 chart killer. Still, she shares the same public enemy #1 as most other celebrities: the paparazzi. Just this past week, Jay Z had to throw shade at a photographer–well, he didn’t have to, but he’s Hov, you know?–Diddy did his best to keep his cool when a photographer scratched his Maybach, and now Iggy Azalea snaps back at a photog because, well, she was trying to buy eggs in peace.
Peaceful grocery shopping is a reasonable request, and while being a celebrity somewhat invites the invasion of privacy–I know, it sucks, but that’s the reality–it is insane to think that despite being a worldwide star, even re-upping on dairy and produce to keep the fridge full next week is no longer held sacred by people that don’t even know you. That fact clearly became apparent to Azalea in this video, because she flips on the ‘razzo in a manner in which we’ve never seen the “Fancy” rapper.
I hope you have Ebola. I hope you die. You’re a f*****g cunt.
That’s before she charges at him with her shopping cart, and rants about how “she just wanted to buy eggs”.
What’s your opinion on this? Should Iggy just understand that invading celebrities’ privacy is, for all intents and purposes, the job? Or was the photographer in the wrong?
