5. Iggy Azalea
Being a grown-up is tricky. On one hand, people have to “sell out” to a certain degree if they want to actually have anything worth having. Unless they are a trust fund kid, a person may have to sell their time and a bit of their self-respect to work for someone else. Even if they own their own business, they still have to cater to their customers. On the other hand, a person that doesn’t “sell out” is usually crashing on their grandma’s couch and begging their brother for money to pay their cell phone bill. Finding the balancing between maintaining self-respect and paying the rent is tough.
For Iggy Azalea, the sell out is heavy and it has attracted a ton of hate from everyone. The fair-skinned woman from Australia has taken the music world by storm, mostly by copying the dancing, hair cuts, and behaviors of Black American hip-hop artists. Among black musicians, this is a huge no-no. Azalea has caught major heat from Snoop Dogg and even the Washington Post about her behavior. Being a little phony comes with a cost.
All of that aside, Azalea is still as hot as a Phoenix summer. From afar, people can complain about what Azalea does, but the line between love and hate is extremely thin.
