The ongoing controversy over who is "Becky" in Beyoncé's new song has struck a sour note with singer Iggy Azalea.
The "Fancy" artist made it clear on social media she never wants to be referred to as a "Becky" by her fans because she finds the term — sometimes used to describe a generic white woman or "Valley Girl" — just as offensive as calling a black woman "Sha Nay Nay" or an Asian woman "Ming Lee."
"Don't ever call me a Becky," she told a fan on Twitter in the first of many tweets on the matter.
