Igloo Australia Trends After Azealia Banks Blasts Iggy Azalea For Black Exploitation

Posted in: , ,

Two rappers, Iggy Azaela and Azealia Banks may have confusingly similar names but that is where the similarity ends. And there seems to be no love lost either. Yesterday, Azealia Banks called out Iggy for exploiting black culture in the wake of offline and online protests following a grand jury's decision not to indict a white NYPD officer who caused the death of an unarmed black man.

Azealia took to twitter to vent her frustration and eventually turned her attention to Iggy and blasted her for trying to be black, having a black boyfriend but not standing up for black issues like the Ferguson or the Eric Garner protests. She did not name Iggy Azalea but referenced her with the phrase Igloo Australia.

50-year-old actress Vivica Fox is reportedly dating a young man almost 20 years her junior, Dailymail reports. And he's not just any youngie, he is well known child star who played the part of Bobby in the Nickolodeon series, Cousin Skeeter.

I remember ogling his fine face and hazel eyes back in the day, and even then I knew I was a cougar though I was also in my older teens then. I can only imagine if Vivica ever watched the show and saw him at 12 - 16 when she was already in her 30's, and whether she's been eyeing him since then. Yikes!

Posted in: ,

The name Maheeda in Nigeria is synonymous with naked pictures posted on social media, either on Twitter or on Instagram, though the latter will always delete her posts or her account when the pictures get too raunchy.

But Maheeda can't be stopped by such social media policies on nudity. She just doesn't care, she simply posts more nudes, or opens a new account. When she's feeling in a good mood, she may just cover the controversial parts and tone it down to 16+ as can be seen in the picture above.

People are pressed to meet up with different targets they set for themselves for the year.
