Iggy Azalea has landed herself right in the middle of another controversy, and for the first time in a while she was not the one who started it. On her way in to the Z100 Jingle Ball Friday, Dec. 12, the "New Classic" rapper was greeted by a loud throng of fans looking to get pictures, autographs or some sort of acknowledgment from her. It was a cold day out in New York Friday, with a high of only 38 degrees Fahrenheit, according to "Accuweather." This type of weather can cause patience to wear thin quickly. Instead of stopping to greet her fans who were waiting outside in the cold, she gave a quick wave and walked them inside and, once inside, fans started booing her for her lack of fan interaction and she promptly flipped them off, via "Complex."It is understandable for her to be unhappy with the boos, but she has dealt with a lot worse, and it seems like on a weekly basis, so a few boos from fans should be nothing for her. Azalea could have had a bad day and the boos could have been the last straw, but she should know that there are always cameras rolling, whether they are paparazzi or fans, and everything you do in public is documented. That is the lifestyle of a pop star. -
