Iggy Azalea Fully Expects A Backlash If She Wins A Grammy

Amethyst Amelia ‘Igloo Australia’ Kelly is up for no fewer than four trophies at today’s Grammy Awards, including Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo / Group Performance, for ‘Fancy’, and Best New Artist.
Then there’s the big one – her Best Rap Album nomination for new classic The New Classic. She knows if she wins this category she’ll cop a lot of heat, but per an interview with MTV, she’s fresh out of fucks to give.
“I think backlash comes no matter what skin color you are,” she said, when asked if she’s ready to deal with the inevitable internet backlash that will come with victory in a rap category, especially after Macklemore‘s wins last year.
“Success is polarizing and you just can’t have one without the other,” she continued. “That’s something that comes with it. It’s the price you pay for having all the amazing things that you’re afforded and if that is the price you pay for a Grammy, I will sign that check.”
Our heads are spinning at the thought of the shady Tweets Azealia Banks will unleash if Iggy walks away with a victory today. Of course, Iggy knows all about mean Tweets at this point.
