Rapper Iggy Azalea‘s latest visual efforts for her recent single “I Am the Stripclub” is garnering attention from critics for the wrong reasons.
Following the release of the record on Friday, July 2, the Australian native debuted its video in which she appeared peculiarly bronzed, sporting a black wig, surrounded by dancers, several of whom were Black.

The video quickly received pushback from social media users who almost instantly accused the “Fancy” rapper, whose real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly, of “blackfising,” a process in which non-Black people wear makeup to appear darker and emulate mannerisms mainly associated with Black culture.
