Not only has Minaj been oddly quiet for months, she has said she will no longer be releasing radio-ready pop\/hip hop blends, instead going back to her pure rap roots, leaving a void to be filled by none other than Iggy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Well readers apparently voiced their disagreement to the point where the magazine re-worded the title to read: &#8220;Hip-Hop&#8217;s Unlikely New Star: A White, Blonde, Australian Woman&#8221; and issued the following update:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The title of this article has been changed from its original version \u2014 \u201cHip Hop Is Run By A White, Blonde, Australian Woman\u201d \u2014 because it did not accurately reflect the content of the piece. The author offers sincere apologies to anyone who was offended by it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SMH. I really hate when people unfamiliar with the culture and music carry themselves as subject matter experts and write reckless articles.  In this case, I feel bad that Iggy was collateral damage.  Iggy &#8211; in my opinion &#8211; is definitely talented and yep &#8230; I definitely see her doing big things one day.
