Tinashe Talks Iggy Azalea Tour (Again), Prefers Beyonce To Rihanna: Watch The Interview
For better or worse, Iggy Azalea is still the hottest topic in music. Tinashe dropped by Hot 97 to chat with Nessa about new single “All Hands On Deck” and her upcoming support slot on Nicki Minaj’s tour, but the conversation soon turned to the Aussie femcee. “I was initially confirmed to go on tour with Iggy this summer and I was super excited about it,” she said. “It was me and Nick Jonas, and then she postponed the tour.”
“So totally unrelated to Nicki, I didn’t even know about the Nicki Minaj tour yet,” the 22-year-old continued. “The tour was already postponed and I already had prior commitments in the fall and I wasn’t able to go on tour with her.” So, how did signing on for Iggy’s tour and their collaboration impact Tinashe? “I’m not typically used to that level of backlash and I had to avoid social media for a couple of days.”
Nessa then pitted two artists against each other and asked Tee to pick her favorite. Here are her choices:
1. Chris Brown > Drake (“He’s a little bit more versatile.”)
2. Janet Jackson > Mariah Carey (“Janet all day. She’s my girl.”)
3. Beyonce > Rihanna (“Oh Queen Bey.” This isn’t exactly surprising given these old tweets!)
4. Kanye West > Jay Z (“Kanye.”)
5. Nicki Minaj > Iggy Azalea (“Discography? It’s from the entire discography? Probably Nicki.”)
6. Adele > Sam Smith (“Adele. I really like Adele.”)
7. Schoolboy Q > A$AP Rocky (“Schoolboy Q.”)
Are you surprised by any of her choices? Let us know in the comments below.
