2. Iggy Azalea
2014, Iggy Azalea breaks through the music industry with her hit single ‘Fancy,’ and before you know it, this Australian-born rapper receives the most hatred out of all the celebrities in that year. Why? Because she’s a rapper and doesn’t happen to be of African-American heritage. Many people were outraged how Iggy was trying to steal the “black culture” with the way she raps her rhymes, going as far as to allege that Iggy was desperate to be a black woman. Basically, there was no way one could avoid a nasty Iggy Azalea comment — it almost seemed like people found pleasure in hating on her. But all of that (somewhat) changed in 2016; people are slowly accepting the fact that Iggy, who has no ill intentions, is just trying to live her dream as another female rapper. The fact that she’s still relevant two years after her worldwide success speaks for itself.
