Iggy Azalea has taken her fair share of criticism, but this one is stone-cold. Almost out of nowhere, ESPN anchor Robert Flores went for the kill on the monthly SportsCenter Top 10 Plays of the Month show during his satirical "What Did We Learn" segment, when he referenced Nick Young's now-infamous Dolphin incident and said the "Fancy" rapper was "trying to kill hip-hop."
In only 11 seconds, he ethers Azalea, saying, "What did we learn? We leanred that according to the Lakers' Nick Young a dolphin recently tried to kill him. So Nick, while dolphins are trying to kill you, your girlfriend [Azalea] is trying to kill hip-hop. Let's call it even, OK?"
Damn, Robert Flores is trying to end Azalea's whole career. Watch the video below, via Complex.

The incident that Flores is referring to was a story Nicky "Swaggy P" Young recounted of when on vacation in Cabo, Mexico, he went to ride a dolphin and the animal was not amused, taking him to the bottom of the pool and trying to drown him. The incident was rather amusing for observers to hear about a world-class athlete nearly perishing at the hands of a dolphin. The story has been compared to an eerily similar story from Kevin Hart, but Young has defended its authenticity.
It is a good thing that Iggy left social media now because she surely would have something to say about this. Young has responded in her stay, putting Flores on notice.
