Iggy Azalea is growing tired of people who have been making remarks about her body, and she's not afraid of putting them in their place.

Folks just aren't going to let up on Iggy Azalea. The rapper and her boyfriend Playboi Carti have been the target of the gossip mill who have claimed that the pair recently welcomed a child together. While neither artist has confirmed or denied the claims, people are determined to somehow prove that The New Classic star is or was with child. She recently shared a photo that showed her slim figure, but that hasn't stopped people from making remarks about her body.

After sharing another picture of herself, a fan commented that she's "gaining weight," but added that the rapper was "still looking FAB!" Even with the compliment, Iggy Azalea seemed irritated with the response. "Why do I have to be gaining weight because I want to post a few selfies? The obsession with my body you guys have is unhealthy," she replied. "I posted a picture of my body just last week I HAVE A F*CKING SIX PACK." Please get a life. Every image I post does not need to be of my body."

The In My Defense rapper has been steadily releasing new images on the Gram, so be prepared to see more from Iggy Azalea as the days move forward. Check out the exchange between Iggy and the fan below.
