Iggy Azalea isn’t really mad at Raiders reporter who dissed her: ‘Please relax’

Iggy Azalea has invited the media to “please relax� after a quippy Twitter exchange between her and a reporter covering the Las Vegas Raiders made headlines this week.

The “Fancy� rapper clarified Monday on Twitter that her sassy comeback to a writer for the sports site the Athletic who made a quip about her halftime performance at the Raiders-Texans football game was all in good fun.

In response to a tweet from XXL Magazine that said Azalea “fired back� at sports journalist Tashan Reed after he dissed her, the Australian musician wrote, “He made a joke & I made a joke. It’s really not serious at all so please relax.� In profane terms, the “Black Widow� hitmaker also accused the publication of having a, shall we say, penchant for drama.

On Sunday, Reed tweeted, “The combination of [Vegas’] Allegiant Stadium trying to make BBQ and Iggy Azalea performing at halftime is gonna make me depressed.�

After the halftime show, Azalea replied, “If you think you’re depressed now I’ll spare you the tears you’d cry knowing what my paycheck was to come and jiggle a lil a—.�

Reed then posted a GIF of basketball player Alonzo Mourning shaking and nodding his head, while Azalea raised him a GIF of a sad puppy with the caption, “Sorry.�

Wearing a sheer Raiders bodysuit, Azalea performed her 2014 hit “Fancy� — and indeed wiggled her booty — onstage at Sunday’s sporting event. The Raiders wound up beating the Houston Texans 38-20.

“I had an amazing day in Vegas today!� Azalea tweeted over the weekend. “My first time seeing a football game live & they won! Thanks @Raiders and their fans, Everyone around the stage really hyped me up & I appreciated it like you’ll never know because I was very, very nervous!�
