Iggy Azalea beat both Eminem and Drake in the Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album and Artist categories at the 42nd American Music Awards earlier tonight (November 23). Azalea entered the night as the most nominated artist of the year with six nominations and left with her first American Music Award for The New Classic.
“This award is the first award I’ve ever won in my entire life, and it means so much to me that it is for best Hip Hop because that’s what inspired me to move to America and pursue my dreams, and it’s what helped me when I was a teenager to escape and to get through my life and to better times,” Azalea said in her acceptance speech. “And it means so much that I can stand here against Eminem and Drake and come out with this.”
Azalea’s award wins come just days after she responded to a lyric from Eminem’s song “Vegas” in which the Detroit rapper references Azalea and says, “You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me.”
After her win, T.I. introduced Azalea before she performed “Fancy.”
“Alright guy, like it or not, women can rap,” he said. “And like it or not, regardless of size, color, or nationality women can run Hip Hop. That is the conclusion I came to instantly when I ran into my little sister, the most nominated artist of the evening.”
Pitbull hosted the award show for the second consecutive year and presenters included Aloe Blacc, Jamie Foxx, Rita Ora, and more.
A$AP Rocky performed his feature verse on Sam Smith’s “I’m Not the Only One” remix just after the singer won the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist.
“Black-ish” stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Elliss ross introduced both Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. Lil Wayne and Christina Milan performed “Start A Fire” and Minaj performed her Pinkprint song “Bed Of Lies” as Skylar Grey played the piano. Watch the performance below.
Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea closed out the ceremony with a performance of their recent collaboration “Booty.”

America we love the identity you have stolen and awarded to this untalented cum bag, yes she is a zip log bag half way sealed with jizz juice half way dried and crusty. This girl carries around pesto machines with condensed cock milk instead of pesto candies. She actually moved to the U.S. because she had tasted every man’s penis cheese from australia, including them dirty ass street niggas they call aboriginals…..this bitch came to the frontier in search of more man silk….this bitch has an insatiable appetite she sucks her younger brothers dick until he bone dry, true story, thats how she hydrates using male mayo. Fuck this bitch for debasing hiphop we should put her in an airtight containment apparatus and vacuum all the O2 and watch her asphyxiate. she will start flaking like a snowglobe within seconds
(including them dirty ass street niggas they call aboriginals..) They’re cleaner than you, nigga scum. They even have values you don’t have because you are too busy hating on everyone with your super low 20 IQ.
This seriously made my day. Like the truth in this post is real-asf. Thank you
Damn no D’Allan Rixx, Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Joey Bad AZZ, Logic ?
Ure kidding right? Iggy’s not better than those rappers but shes had a good year. This shit is funny but its understandable
what’s understandable is julie greenwald pulling out all of the stops for her pet
you guys have no idea how rigged the game is
I can’t wait for the Re-release of The New Classic
Album of the Year by far.

So let me get this straight…
The AMERICAN Music Awards gave an Aussie best hip hop award and gave A few Europeans the artist of the year award??
HA….I’m done.

LOL nignogs upset that a white woman beat every black artist HAHAHAHAHAHA
Go protest and loot your neighborhoods
We just Cum on white bitches noses………..
but you nowhere to be found in Ferguson right now exercising your supremacy, you online yapping about some fake ass female rapper.
you’re a straight loser and you know it
Eminem as sold over 80 million records, how many has Iggy sold? Exactly!
Not only the sold albums, but the overall quality of his music compared to hers… Unbelievable. Yes, his latest albums are a bit off, but still it’s better than hers.
lol these awards dont mean anything anymore so stop getting butt hurt. let iggy have her moment
Please die…
eminem?
American Music Awards. WHO CARES
… Eminem and Drake haven’t released albums since 2013.
easy to win an award when the selected competition haven’t entered.
mmmm Drake and Eminem haven’t released albums since 2013.
This proves once again that we can not take these award shows seriously.
I understand what Drake meant by his first album title “Thank me Later” now.

obv we all know its BS.. you take every individual and ask them to write down their votes on paper and someone trust worthy adds em up..eminem and drake would crush iggy and it wouldnt even be close
still dont know why ppl lose their shit over these dumb ass votes and award winners. macklemore v kendrick showed us all this.
Worst year in Hip Hop ever…
Iggy wins rap artist of year, give me a god damn break. eminem must have been rolling his eyes with that one including anyone else who knows hip hop. young dumb people run the music industry and it shows, they wouldn’t let a 42 year old rapper win despite being 100x better than this white chicks looking bitch.. looks like marlon wayans dressed in white makeup
No surprise. White People will be White People.
Phuck them Crackers………………
No Surprise. White People will be White People.
Crackers………..
No Surprise. White People will be White People.
Phuck them Crackers………..
i love the fake outrage these awards bring every single year… ask yourself when was the last time the AMA’s or the Grammys got any of the hip-hop awards right….
If this isn’t a sign of the times with hip hop. Than what is? Has mainstream society destroyed hip hop? Is it time to create a new genre?
This website censors comments.
hiphop was dead along time ago
These “award” shows are fake just like the rest of the clowns.
Iggy is NOT Hip Hop! “Fancy” is NOT a Hip Hop song, its a fucking pop song. She can have her 5 minutes of fame but she will never be accepted by the Hip Hop community.
She has no talent, she can’t rap, she can’t write. Her flow sucks.
She has no originality or creativity… “We in this bitch” wow that takes a lot of creativity and talent to come up with some bullshit like that
HEY DX. FIX THE FUCKIN COMMENT SECTION. IT KEEPS BEGINING AT THE LAST PAGE WTF?
yeah this shit is weak as fuck
this whole site has gone fucked up. No surprise from the DX team as they all a bunch of fucking retards sucking each others dicks off.
psssshhh, you can win all the stupid awards you want Iggy, but real Hip Hop never has, and never will, respect you or even take you halfway serious.
Wack ass bitch… ya we know females can rap, that aint some new thing. It’s just YOU can’t rap… talk to Rapsody when you wanna learn how real female MCs get down.
in the “Most popular news” section up on the right, its showing stories from fuckin years ago lmao. Andres Retardio must be chewing the wires on they servers again, the fuckin little rat.
There absolutely no way Iggy should have wonned that award over em and drake. First off all nobody even knows she dropped an album no man on this earth is even holding a copy of her albun. I just dont see jow she won this award, Eminem and drakes albuns where more mainstream successful. She only had one or two hot singles drake had six hot singles in a fucking row. Eminems album already went quadrupale platinum. It doesnt make sense. Nobody even listened her album. Im not being a hater i have no hate for her being a white rapper. i just cant see how she won. She was not the hottest rapper out it was definitely Drake Versace started from tge bottom just hokd were going home all me and on top of that his album sold 620,000 in his first week and dont get me started on eminems album it was definitely the album of the year old cracka still can out rap all this new school niggas including kendrick overhyped ass
yo this ish is a joke foh
I’m sure Eminem can care less because how many awards has Eminem won??? Yeah. But the only difference is now anyone can beat anyone regardless if they can’t rap worth shit or not they can still beat the best like Eminem.
Eminem is losing big time to rozay in sales.
^ Nice try retard.
Eminem losing to Iggy and is now losing to rozay for sales. Rozay is shitting on eminem’s new shit.
lol what?? Where do you see Em losing to ross in sales? Even if Em breathed and farted on 20 tracks and sold it, you know the stans alone would buy enough copies to outsell rozay on his best day
fuccc yaaaaa the new classic mother fuckers thats that platinum singles classic album of the year. Iggy and ariana grande are the new Outkast with this classic album. Iggy coming up getting awards and shit.
Trolling attempt is too obvious. Now fuck outta here.
Cormegas new album was so good, Eminem can still rap his ass off but he makes shitty music. Don’t know how Iggy is even really considered Hip-Hop, shit is pop garbage.. Award means nothing tbh when real artists aren’t even considered for it..
she raps? how come when she gets dissed she dont respond like a rapper? ha
Does she realize the only reason she even won this is because Em paved the way for a white rapper to be accepted in hip hop? She should wrap that award up and mail it to Em with a thank you note.

God predicted unnatural things would happen in the time of Revelations…. the end is near people.

NEVER HEARD A SONG FROM THE WEAK BITCH BESIDES FANCY!!! JUST STUPID ASS OLD WHITE PEOPLE THAT WANNA CONTINUE TO FUCK UP OUR CULTURE!!!! FUCK YOU IGGY SUCK DICK AND DIE QUICK WIT YO WACK AS MUSIC!!!! YOU AND MARSHALL or DRAKE for that matter should never be mentioned in the same sentence fuck you you weak bitch
Idk what Iggy is getting all wet for saying “shes proud to win the award befor Eminem and Drake” or what not. Em’s MMLP2 and Shady XV Album had came out to late to be included in these awards. Not to mention he made both these albums in like the same year—like he always does when he is away for so long.
