'Fancy' Star Iggy Azalea Reacts to Angry Notorious B.I.G. Fans After Star Remade 'I'm Coming Out' [Watch]
Iggy Azalea has recently been criticized by The Notorious B.I.G. fans over her "I'm Coming Out" track appearing to remake the legendary rapper's 1997 hit "Mo Money Mo Problems" featuring Ma$e and Puff Daddy.
The Australian rapper revealed that she was quite excited when she was asked to do a remake of Diana Ross' "I'm Coming Out" with a Keyshia Cole remix for "The Other Woman" soundtrack. However, once she heard the beat produced by Irv Gotti, Reefa and 12 Keyz, she admitted that she had another song in mind.
"I'm from a generation where I don't think 'I'm Coming Out,'" the "Fancy" rapper said. "I'm thinking 'Mo Money Mo Problems.' I'm 23. That's what I think about. I was like, 'I need to get my Ma$e on, get my Diddy on.' I went with that vibe, so when people heard it, they said, 'She's doing the Biggie remix.'"
Despite being criticized by many fans of the Brooklyn rapper, Azalea does not seem to be bothered by it at all. "I really don't care," she said. "Come on, though. I love Biggie forever, and Tupac, but that's a sampled song. So, don't be mad about something that's sampled already. That's not an original thing. So, don't be mad about that."
Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" featuring Charli XCX, the third single off her debut studio album "The New Classic" released in February, placed in the top five on Billboard's Hot 100 chart last week, going up from 7 to 4. She becomes only the sixth artist to occupy the top two slots of Digital Songs at the same time, as well as the third female artist to place her first two Hot 100 hits in the top five simultaneously with "Problem," her latest collaboration with Ariana Grande, being at No. 3.
