    Iggy Azalea responded to a raft of Internet push-back for slamming rapper Nicki Minja with some choice words of her own, blasting fans for taking sides, cracking jokes about artists and starting feuds.

    She was particularly harsh on those fans who “have done NOTHING. NOTHING! With your lives.”

    Azalea, real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly, was born in Australia but has been living in the United States since she was 16 years old.

    She shot to fame with the release of her debut album, The New Classic, in April in a field crowded by other singers including Minaj, who, like Azalea, is a rapper.

    After Iggy’s album came out, some critics proclaimed her the next big thing in rap, which didn’t sit well with Minaj.

    Nicki appeared to respond when she rapped on Swizz Beatz’s new track “Hands Up:”

    “I got little bunny rabbits in my backyard.
    So fuck a funny style fraud, tryna act hard!”

    Many took it as a dig at Azalea.

    Fans got into the act when someone discovered an Iggy Tweet that claimed Nicki was lip-syncing part of her 2010 BET Awards performance. Iggy must have forgotten about it because she had nothing but praise at the time for Minaj.

    Now Iggy appears to be calling time on all the beefs, especially by the fans, who have been more vocal than the artists.
