Iggy Azalea Can't Crowdsurf Because Her Fans Sexually Assault Her
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea says she's had to take on new security measures for her concerts because fans think it's funny to try to finger her while she performs.
"I had to stop [crowdsurfing]... I'm only doing like 2000-seaters, but I still have to have barriers even if it's like 200 people because people try to finger me," she said during a recent interview with the New York City radio station Hot 97. Now, she says, she wears two pairs of underwear and tights underneath her outfit when she's onstage.
I will get lurk tweets for like a week before my show, like "I'm about to go to the Iggy Azalea show and I'm going to finger her," and I'll see it and be like, please don't! That's a violation. I don't actually like that stuff.
Like, they think I'm real slutty, like "Oh, she got a song called 'Pussy,' I know what she wants. She wants these two fingers." Why would I want a stranger to ever finger me? Buying my album for $12 doesn't mean you get to finger me when I come to your city.
Interestingly, Azalea says this type of mindset is more common among female fans.
"Girls will try to do it more than guys 'cause girls think it's cool, like, 'We both got vaginas, it's fine.' Doesn't make it okay."
