Nobody ever said that. There are other factors, along with her being white that have attributed to her success.
But lol @ the Kreayshawn comparison. Iggy is far more marketable than Kreayshawn, her music is way more pop friendly/mainstream, she is better looking, not as controversial, has way more people pushing for her, her beats/songs are way better etc. Fancy is catchy, pop friendly and has a unique/memorable video I'm sure all of that has helped attribute to the success of the song as well.
But, she is also white and that can not be overlooked. That's all we're saying

I'm totally on your side on the debate, FAME. We all need to be careful, though, to not diminish ANYONE'S success because of their race. With how American history has played out, it is not ridiculous to think that Iggy's whiteness has something to do with her success. That might be why she was able to get her album released but Angel Haze wasn't.
And yeah, Kreayshawn and Iggy are nowhere near the same playing field. And Kreayshawn's lack of success shows that being white isn't an automatic ticket to success. Talent still comes in to play, thankfully. And I'd argue that's why there are more successful black rappers than white ones.
