Iggy Azalea responds to Eminem's rape lyrics
Eminem's on a lyrical rampage, and not in a cool way.
After making headlines two weeks ago by threatening to "Punch Lana Del Rey in the face like Ray Rice" in a freestyle, he's shifting his aim towards Iggy Azalea.
On his upcoming compilation, "Shady XV," he raps, "If I let you run alongside the Humvee. Unless you're Nicki [Minaj], grab you by the wrist, let's ski, so what's it gon' be? Put that s**t away Iggy. You don't wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it."
Azalea responded quickly to the misogynistic name-drop with a series of tweets, explaining that Eminem's reference was especially "awkward" because her younger brother is a fan of his music.
im bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much more interested in the young women getting $ trend. zzzz

Azalea hasn't had an easy few weeks. Her "sick of old men" tweet may also apply to Snoop Dogg, who insulted the Australian rapper via Instagram in October.
