It's not a popularity contest. People are discussing the statement she made. Not her current or past billboard chart spot or sales.

its basic common sense that people are gonna talk about an artist more when they have a higher profile. The timing does not negate any points being made nor does it make her old tweets disappear that expose her ugly character.

So basically charts do make (more) people (more) pressed which was what I was replying to.

NO. He didn't. He discovered her after her Ignorant Art mixtape.

But he's still a mentor, just like Nas and other people endorsing her. Not to mention she's always talking about the actual artists she worked closely with when she first moved from Australia, citing frequently the Dungeon Family etc. You can't deny she's always been super involved with people from that community and their, obvious, influence/impact on her work/career so it's the same point.

And it's not her fans dismissing the "urban" community, I was just saying you all keep pointing out how they don't "claim" Iggy - like it's a bad thing she gets "more pop support". So if they don't use her what you mad for, nothing? Lawd.

WELL I didn't see most of you here caring about her a year and two years ago so passionately so YES her having "hits on the charts" is definitely related.

Of course that's related, isn't that common knowledge? I'm sure there were people from the start that called Iggy out on her BS but as nobody cared about her back then, nobody cared about those comments. The more famous she gets, the more fans but also more critics. That's how it works, sis!

I guess some people forget T.I. is the ****ing King of the South had a HUGE role on Southern rap music. And he is actually HER mentor so yea there's THAT, if he isn't bothered and is actually excited by something new to the community he helped develop then why are you children crying "offensive"?

I love the fact that we're pressed because she has two hits on the charts right now. Not because she's appropriating a culture.

Doesn't really matter, that's like saying: "I'm not racist, I have black friends". It's not cuz she has a black rapper from the south mentoring her, she can't be offensive, racist,...

Might as well say she's dating a black guy but NO, that was not the point. T.I. has done WAY more for Southern rap music than any of you acting like there's an issue and yet he actually SUPPORTS her BIG time. Just because you like to make everything about someone's skin color doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

Darling, he supports the money she's making!

Nas didn't mentor her. And Nas is the same dude that defended Gweneth and her "N" word fiasco sooo....

And in her interviews T.I. basically filters, defends and gasses her up. He's a clown for using her. He sees $$$$$$$$$$ more than the principle of the culture. Besides T.I. can take an Ethics/Sociology class or two his opinions on the male/female relationship are dripping w/ flaw. I get so much exploitative vibes from the T.I./Iggy situation.

She watering down Rap/Hip Hop trying to run with it over to Pop. That's the problem. Eventually it'll be this thing where Rap isn't considered "black music. People speaking out are trying to keep history from repeating itself.

Well according to all of you she wasn't making any money before Ariana and Charli decided to help her out this year and considering he started endorsing her back in 2012 while she was UNSIGNED

Meanwhile T.I. remains a much more important figure for the "urban community" and the Southern rap scene than all of you COMBINED.

[Rentboy]

T.I. did not teach her to rap like that at all she was doing so long before he spotted a commercial opportunity and contacted her. He's there for the $$$ be sure of that.

[Lights and Waves]

This woman and her career are honestly embarrassing. She's a complete train wreck and has contributed nothing to the music scene.

So it's offensive when I say it but it wasn't offensive when Iggy called herself a slave master

This is too much.

So our opinion doesn't count because T.I is apart of the urban community. Do you see how stupid that sounds?

It means he's done way more for the community than you ever will and you just said she was "pandering that culture" well apparently not everyone agrees with that.

If you don't know who taught her how to rap it just means you're uneducated on this topic and shouldn't even be a part of it

And?
So because TI/one black peraon doesnt see an issue with something thay means other black people cant?

So if TI doesnt mind white people saying *****, the entire black community should be ok with it?

Yes it's just him, all other black people are pressed and hate her.

Oh wait, Chris Brown is also following her on Twitter. Don't think he would if he thought she was disrespectful/pandering his culture, right? Oh well, another one to add to the growing list of Iggy's "urban supporters" I guess

Excuses. He had a lot more to lose considering his status, he could've just dropped her when she wasn't "doing it big" a year ago. Not that I'm expecting any of you to own up to it as you'll just keep making excuses as we're going along clearly Oh well, she stays winning.
