Iggy Azalea's 99 problems now include rumors of a sex tape. The Australian rapper, 24, took to Twitter on Thursday, Sept. 11, to slam porn bigwig Steven Hirsch's claims that he and his team at Vivid Entertainment were reviewing a sex tape of the "Fancy" star and an ex-boyfriend.
Hirsch told TMZ earlier this week that he'd seen some of the footage, adding that he thought it could be worth more than Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape with Ray J. He also said he'd reached out to the star about a deal — but her team told TMZ on Thursday that it's not even her on the tape.
Azalea herself — real name Amethyst Kelly — denied any connection to the footage in a multi-tweet message to fans on Thursday.

Anyone who releases or attempts to make profit off someone else's intimate moments against their will is a sex offender.

& it honestly makes me sick to see the media encourage any other attitude towards those sorts of people, we should want to protect our women

The saga evolved a bit on Friday, however, when TMZ reported that the "Booty" rapper's legal team had changed its tune. According to the site, her lawyers now say it could be her — but if it is, it's the work of a "spurned business suitor" trying to sabotage her career. It also may have been shot without her knowledge or consent — possibly when she was a minor.
Azalea (now dating Nick Young) has yet to comment on the latest developments.
