After facing online criticism from a Britney Spears stan about a perceived lack of support for the singer, Iggy Azalea addressed her past collaboration with Spears and asked them to back off.
The comments came after Spears’ emotional June 23 conservatorship hearing, in which she told a judge she was “traumaticized” and “depressed” about being legally unable to manage her own affairs.
Following the release of “Pretty Girls” in 2015, Azalea tweeted about the song’s lack of success on the charts, saying, “It’s difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and TV performances, etc.” In 2016, Azalea also shared that Spears’ team had searched her house before the project.
After a Spears stan accused her of staying silent, a fan defended the rapper, saying the star “did speak about it and yall dragged her for it” and that she has “has ALWAYS been a supporter” of Spears.
The rapper, who doesn’t want fans to continue to call on her to speak about Spears, may actually be limited in what she can say anyway.
