Eminem has been dissing women (and men) popular culture for as long as he’s had a career. In a new song from his upcoming ShadyXV album, Em takes a few shots at rapper Iggy Azalea.
In “Vegas,” he raps:
“So swallow my pride, you’re lucky just to follow my ride / If I let you run alongside the Humvee / Unless you’re Nicki, grab you by the wrist, let’s ski / So what’s it gon’ be / Put that shit away, Iggy / You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me.”
Iggy took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the distasteful verse, saying:
im bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much more interested in the young women getting $ trend. zzzz
