American teen rapper Bhad Bhabie has detailed her beef with Aussie rival Iggy Azalea.
Reigniting the feud that erupted at a Cardi B event in Hollywood in November 2018, 16-year-old Bhabie explained her dislike of Azalea stemmed from the Fancy singer “talking a lot out of her mouth”.
“See what happened was this photographer had posted me and said, ‘who is going to a Bhad Bhabie show?’” Bhabie explained.
“He wasn’t saying it mean, he was just asking who was going. And then she (Azalea) was like, ‘are you?’ like asking who would even go to that, just being weird.
“So when I saw her, I confronted her, then she wanted to act like everything was all cool so I threw the drink at her out of my hand.”
Bhabie’s career was born out of her 2016 appearance on Dr Phil in which she used the phrase, “Catch me outside, how about that”.
The footage went viral and she subsequently signed to Atlantic records and now has more than 17 million followers on Instagram.
Her debut album, 15, achieved more than 1.5 billion streams globally and pegged Bhabie as the youngest female rapper to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Of the glass throwing incident, Azalea has said: “So the Dr Phil girl is really upset about me apparently and thought I’d fight a child?! What kind of Jerry Springer? What kind of ‘whose baby is this’ Dr. Phil a** sh*t. Oh my god. I’m a grown up, I cannot.”
Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, also has high profile feuds with Disney star Skai Jackson and social media influencer Woah Vicky.
“I don’t care what anyone has to say about me,” she said.
“That is one thing people need to understand about me. If I feel disrespected or threatened or any type of anything like that, I am going to make it clear and I am going to make it known.
“A lot of people just because they are scared or they are just lame, they don’t want to stand up for themselves.
“I am just not that type of person. People always want to pay me out like I am the bad guy. No, I just have a voice and you don’t, that is all it is.”
Bhabie will return to Australia for her second tour here and is set to play Sydney’s Metro Theatre on May 7 with shows also scheduled in Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland.
She is also one of the headliners for the upcoming Groovin The Moo festival.
“The me that is not on stage is real quiet,” she explained. “I kind of keep to myself a lot. As much as people think I am so out there, I keep to myself a lot. I am a quiet person.”
Of social media, she added: “It is a terrible thing. It is like the renaissance of this whole generation. People just think they are not human unless they are on Instagram. Everyone wants to be famous. Being famous isn’t even famous no more, everybody famous.”
