Iggy Azalea

Iggy Azalea called out for blackfishing in new music video

After the video for I Am The Stripclub dropped online, people noticed something different about the 31-year-old’s appearance, specifically her skin tone.

Azalea, who is fair-skinned and usually has platinum blonde hair, looked darker from head to toe. She completed the look with a black wig. Blackfishing refers to a person using things like hairstyling and makeup to create and enhance certain features to make it appear as if they have black heritage or are racially ambiguous

Needless to say, the response on social media has been swift and scathing.
