Iggy Azalea Sounds Off on Fans: "Don't Ever Call Me a Becky"

The rapper was very clear about use of the slang term on Twitter Monday

UPDATE: Iggy Azalea took to Twitter again to clarify her "Becky" comments and slammed the idea that she was calling Beyoncé racist. "No i dont think Beyonce is racist nor do i think calling someone 'BECKY' is the same as a racial slur. I actually like her and the project," she tweeted. "BUT, no i dont think its great to use stereotypical names to describe ANY race. I think we can all agree on that...AND WE ALL KNOW 'becky' started because you all think white girls just go around slobbing on everyones d--k. Im good on being called that...AND YOU WILL ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DEAL. because unless youre planning on walking up to me and calling me out my name, it doesnt affect you!"

Iggy Azalea doesn't ever want this nickname. 

As the controversy surrounding Beyoncé's latest album and a particular lyric about "Becky with the good hair" swirls, the rapper told her fans it's one name she never wants to be called. 

"Don't ever call me a Becky," she instructed one fan while tweeting Monday night. 

While she was quick to clarify her remark was not meant as "bey shade," Iggy wanted to clarify the meaning by the negative slang. Typically, "Becky" has been known to reference a generic Caucasian woman with long straight hair or the image of a "Valley Girl." 

"Do you know how many time ppl have called me BECKY? it didnt have any kind of positive intention behind it. don't start," she told another fan. 

"Generalizing ANY race by calling them one sterotypical name for said race. i personally dont think is very cool, the end," she continued. "Dont call all asian women 'ming lee' dont call white women 'becky' dont call black women 'sha nay nay.'"

She closed the subject with one final thought on the matter. "To be called a generalized name that gained populairty as a way to describe oral sex and then generally white women. no thanks."

The slang term has gained major attention as of late because of a line in Beyoncé's newest visual album, Lemonade. In the song "Sorry," the songstress urges her cheating lover to call "Becky with the good hair." 

Fans have interpreted the song to be about Bey's husband, Jay Z, and his alleged mistress, fashion designer Rachel Roy. While the claims have not been confirmed, the Beyhive swarmed Roy's social media to the point of cyber harassment. 

"I respect love, marriages, families and strength," the stylist tweeted Sunday. "What shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, no matter what, is bullying, of any kind."
