Iggy Azalea has been criticized for her freestyling skills, but she is adamant that she can write circles around many other women in the rap game.

She may not be addressing rumors that she recently gave birth, but Iggy Azalea has taken to social media to defend her artistry.  For months, Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti have been entangled in rumors that they were expecting their first child together. Recently, gossip blogs have shared that they have sources who have confirmed that the two rappers have welcomed their child, but neither Playboi Carti or Iggy have come forward to share any news about their personal lives.

However, Iggy did pull a post-and-delete move on Twitter after a user posed a hypothetical question to the public. "A gun is pointed to your head the female rapper that has your zodiac sign has to do a freestyle to save you are you dead or alive?" the fan account wrote in a caption of a photo. The picture showed four women in rap: Iggy Azalea, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B. Iggy decided to weigh in and The Neighborhood Talk shared a screenshot of her response.

"I can't freestyle and that's fine, but I can write the f*ck outta a song & half the girls can't do that either," Iggy stated. Who she was referring to remains a mystery, but you can check out her tweet below.
