Iggy Azalea has been accused of aLEMONADE is racist.
ppropriating black culture, and now, she's turning the tables, saying a lyric on Beyonce's
While fans are trying to figure out the identity of the "Becky with the good hair" Beyonce mentioned on "Sorry," Iggy believes the lyric is offensive.
In an exchange on Twitter, she demanded that they never refer to her as "Becky." Later, Iggy clarified that her remarks aren't "Bey shade", but instead, explained that Beyonce's "Becky" reference would be similar to her referring to black men as "Deshawns."

"Do you know how many time ppl have called me BECKY? it didnt have any kind of positive intention behind it. dont start... generalizing ANY race by calling them one sterotypical name for said race. i personally dont think is very cool, the end," Iggy later added.
