If you're a fan of celebrity drama, and beef between mediocre rappers, welcome to your dream story. In one corner, Bhad Bhabie, the 15-year-old who got famous for appearing on Dr. Phil and saying "Cash me ousside." In the other corner, Iggy Azalea, the 28-year-old Aussie with a fake American accent who got famous from the 2014 bop Fancy. The setting? The Fashion Nova X Cardi B launch party, and sorry, the charming and talented shoe-throwing Cardi B was not involved. Let's get ready to rumble!
Get comfortable, because it's a long story. At the party, Bhad Bhabie allegedly threw her drink at Iggy Azalea. Okay, scratch that, it's a pretty short story. On Instagram, Iggy posted a video, laughing about her wet hair. "What kind of Jerry Springer, what kind of whose-baby-is-this, Dr.-Phil-ass shit?" she mused. The caption on screen read, "So the Dr. Phil girl is really upset about me apparently and thought I’d fight a child. Anyway! The fashion nova party is LIT!"
Well, good for Iggy for having a sense of humor about the shenanigans. After all, Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, is only 15 years old. If you're an adult, getting mad at a teenager isn't a good look, unless you want to be turned into a meme, like when Joe Budden yelled at Lil' Yachty on the Complex's online talk show Everyday Struggle. (They got into a heated argument over whether Lil' Yachty was indeed "happy all the time," as he boldly claimed. Welcome to hip-hop in 2018.)
In a follow-up tweet, Iggy, real name Amethyst Kelly, confirmed her chill attitude. "Imagine me scrambling around on the floor in a dirty night club trying to hit a teenage girl," she scoffed. "Girl. NO. I’m grown and will simply have you REMOVED and continue enjoying myself. 🙄 #YouNotSpecial Anything else from her mouth is ignored - it’s too preschool for me."
Iggy explained herself further on IG Stories, as reported by Entertainment Tonight:
"I literally was standing there taking pictures wide open no security. Felt water thrown on my wig. Turned around and saw all these people scuffling and screaming - I thought there was a fight in that section. I was confused as fuck about what was going on. Then I stood there and was like “Nah I’m not leaving from right here until she is removed” The security escorted her out. And she logged on to the gram from the parking lot I guess to claim her clout for what I don’t know. I stayed and enjoyed the night."
Bad Baby - I mean, Bhad Bhabie - responded by releasing a clever, venomous diss track. Just kidding. She also responded on IG Stories. Apparently, this is how the new generation of rappers does beef. In a since-deleted post, Bhad Bhabie wrote, "Don’t talk shit on the internet Iggy u a bitch just mad at 15 year old outsold your ass." Then she posted two sassy messages, mocking Iggy for not dropping an album in four years, and warning her not to be two-faced.

Will Iggy and Bhabie release savage diss tracks, like Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly? Or will they sit down, and hash out their differences, like J. Cole and Lil' Pump? Will Cardi B throw shoes at them both? Stay tuned!
