Larry Busacca, Getty ImagesIggy Azalea has become one of the most talked about artists in all of music within the span of a year. Whether you enjoy her pop-tinged brand of hip-hop, agree with the implications that her success has been spurred for racial reasons, or just don’t really give a damn, everybody seems to have an opinion on Iggy Azalea and we don’t mean just inside of the world of music. Iggy Azalea happens to be dating NBA player Nick Young, who goes by the name of Swaggy P.
Young is known in most circles as an air-headed shoot-first player and has become a fan favorite for his inflated sense of self and his over-the-top proclamations. Usually known to be a pretty jolly and carefree guy, a certain ESPN reporter ruffled Iggy’s boo’s feathers so much that he decided to take to social media and fire off a few warning shots earlier today.
Robert Flores, a veteran reporter for ESPN, was doing a bit on Sportscenter this morning and was on a roll as usual. But when he bgan talking about Nick Young’s infamous dolphin story, he took the time as an opportunity to send a few jabs Iggy’s way. Stating that “while dolphins try and kill Nick Young, his girlfriend [Iggy], is trying to kill hip-hop,” Flores added yet another joke to the pile of insults directed toward Iggy Azalea during her career, but Nick Young wasn’t having it. Check out the tweets below:
Those tweets were eventually deleted, but the Los Angeles Laker continued to defend his stance, tweeting that the sports shows want to be “like BET” and that he can take a joke, but certain things are off limits.
While Flores has yet to respond directly, with the exchange making the rounds online, he simply tweeted the following:
Hopefully cooler heads can prevail and Swaggy P and Robert Flores can come to some sort of understanding and let bygones be bygones cause by the sound of things, Nick Young is definitely ready for the fade.
