Well, at least someone is in Iggy Azalea‘s corner.
Amid news that the Australian star’s feud with Azealia Banks has gotten so bad that hackers are now threatening to leak her sex tape if the “Fancy” hitmaker doesn’t apologize for making light of black issues, T.I. stepped in to toss his own hat into the ring.
Taking to Twitter, the rapper, who collaborated with Azalea on “No Mediocre,” threw his support for Banks’ No. 1 rival, telling her that “u don’t deserve all da negative shit” after Schoolboy Q schooled the female emcee on hip-hop history.

Soon after the lengthy message was tweeted, Banks set her crosshairs on T.I. and dished out some shade of her own.
@Tip This rant reeks of thesaurus and bamboozlement.
— AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) December 22, 2014
I’m REALLY starting to realize how indoctrinated and conditioned T.I is. And I don’t think I should tease him about it anymore.
— AZEALIA BANKS (@AZEALIABANKS) December 22, 2014
He actually has no clue…..

Previously, Solange Knowles voiced her support for Banks after the “212″ rapper broke down in a radio interview when explaining how she felt Africa-American musicians were being overlooked by the Grammys. During the emotional sit-down, Banks said, “that Iggy Azalea shit isn’t better than any fucking black girl that’s rapping today. The Grammys are supposed to be accolades of artistic excellence. Iggy Azalea is not excellent.”
The feud between Azalea and Banks initially started earlier this month when the latter called out the former for essentially not caring about black issues amid protests happening around the U.S. calling for justice for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. At the time, Azalea responded by accusing Banks of using real world issues “as an excuse to promote fan battles.”
