Iggy Azalea is not here for another edition of a dramatic "Iggy novella." After a report surfaced that the "Team" rapper owes the IRS nearly $400,000 in income taxes, Azalea fired back at the media in a series of tweets, dismissing the issue as a non-story.
On Tuesday (April 5), TMZ reported that Azalea failed to pay $391,056.55 in income taxes from 2014 (the same year that her singles "Fancy," "Problem" and "Black Widow" made major waves). But, according to the 25-year-old emcee, the issue was resolved two months ago.
Azalea also claims that TMZ is only just now reporting the story because of the Nick Young cheating scandal. She said that because there have been no other updates in her relationship (she notably sported her engagement ring to the iHeartRadio Music Awards over the weekend) that TMZ is just reaching to keep writing about her.
Peep the way when one thing happens media scrambles to keep adding on to the storyline, like a soap opera. #IggyNovela
