Iggy Azalea flips out after being called "Becky" on Twitter. The Australian female rapper thinks the nickname Beyonce Knowles uses on her visual album "Lemonade" to call her husband Jay-Z's alleged mistress is racism toward white women.

"Don't ever call me a Becky," Iggy wrote. Sensing there might be controversy caused by her comment, the femcee quickly added, "And by the way, this is not bey shade. I love her and the album. but my name is iggy, and you will all call me that."
