Iggy Azalea already has to deal with overzealous fans trying to finger her while she crowdsurfs at concerts, but now she has a fresh reason for concern — Eminem has suggested he wants to full on rape her.
In a snippet from new track ‘Vegas’, he name-checks both Iggy and Nicki Minaj:
If I let you run alongside the Humvee. Nicki, grab you by the wrist, let’s ski. So what’s it gon’ be? Put that shit away Iggy. You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me. Scream! I love it.

Iggy responded with the following Tweets, but is she just feeding the troll?

Clearly Eminem knows exactly which buttons to push to kick up controversy and bring attention to his new material. But while he got away with similar raps 15 years ago, will the music world be as forgiving in 2014?
No doubt he’ll be taking the day off work when the Iggy Azalea sex tape drops.
