In news that should surprise no one, Iggy Azalea took home the American Music Award for best rap/hip-hop album last night.
The Australian born rapper, who has been accused of everything from faking her flow to appropriating the art form, beat out hip-hop heavyweights Eminem and Drake with her debut album The New Classic.
Surprisingly, despite their recent back-and-forth, Azalea made mention of Eminem in a positive manner stating “It means so much that I can stand here against Eminem and Drake and come out with this award.”
“And it means so much to me that it is for best hip-hop, because that’s what inspired me to move to America and pursue my dreams,” she continued. “It’s what helped me when I was a teenager to escape and to get through my life and to better times.”
Needless to say, the Twitterverse had a few choice words about the award.
Find out what they had to say after the jump.
