T.I. Says It’s Time For Iggy Azalea To Tweet Less & Rap More

T.I. -- Iggy Azalea Needs to Shut Up ... and Be More Like Tom Brady - Watch More Celebrity Videos or Subscribe

Tip is ready for the drama to subside

The only thing that’s put a damper on Iggy Azalea‘s breakout year is the drama she’s experienced outside the booth. A #1 single, 4 Grammy nominations and a debut album slowly inching towards Gold status would be enough for any rapper to celebrate a 12 months well spent. Unless, of course, you’re being accused of stealing black music, culture appropriation and racial undertones like Iggy Azalea is. She’s battled everybody from Azealia Banks to Q-Tip on Twitter on the issue of the categorization of her music, and has been debated by scores of music critics. Not to mention, she’s currently upset about Steve Madden’s unapproved release of some photos they took of her, and we’re only a couple weeks away from The Grammy Awards, where Iggy Azalea slander will probably be at an all-time high in the Hip-Hop community.

In light of all this, Iggy’s label head and avid supporter, T.I., revealed some of his thoughts in a quick Q&A with TMZ. He mentioned that he believes that Iggy needs to focus more on the music instead of all the smaller confrontations that present themselves on a daily basis, and went on to compare her situation to Tom Brady and #DeflateGate. Watch the quick, impromptu interview above.

NEWS: Iggy Azalea's Reps Tried to Quash Racy Footage of Her Wardrobe Malfunction

Video has been circulating of an Iggy Azalea performance at a Bar Mitzvah in which her pants split. Her reps have allegedly attempted to get it taken down. When your parents can afford to have Iggy Azalea perform at you Bar Mitzvah, you and your friends are going to want to document the occasion. Thus, while a 'no cell phones' rule was applied to the November celebration of Julian Kemper (grandson to MGM mogul Kirk Kerkorian), some footage managed to slip through the cracks. Unfortunately, the clip that caught the most attention was a wardrobe malfunction in which Iggy's pants split during some inspired twerking to Jennifer Lopez' "Booty" remix. According to Billboard, Azalea's team made as many phonecalls as they could to guests in order to get the clip taken down, but 13-year-olds aren't the easiest people to reason with, and the footage is still up on YouTube. Iggy performed the song with J. Lo malfunction-free at the AMAs last week. You can watch that here.
