AceShowbiz - Iggy Azalea flips out after being called "Becky" on Twitter. The Australian female rapper thinks the nickname Beyonce Knowles uses on her visual album "Lemonade" to call her husband Jay-Z's alleged mistress is racism toward white women.
"Don't ever call me a Becky," Iggy wrote. Sensing there might be controversy caused by her comment, the femcee quickly added, "And by the way, this is not bey shade. I love her and the album. but my name is iggy, and you will all call me that."

"Don't call all Asian women 'Ming Lee,' don't call white women 'Becky,' don't call black women 'Sha Nay Nay,' " she went on. "Generalizing any race by calling them one stereotypical name for said race. I personally don't think is very cool, the end."
