Iggy Azaela has once again fired off a tweet that landed her in the middle of controversy. 

Referring to the infamous Beyoncé lyric "better call Becky with the good hair," a Twitter user referred to Azalea as "Becky," and she fired back:

@phagmob @iggys_bitch it was used as a play on brain and brian. you would not be down if i started calling all black men "deshawns"

She continued, saying she thinks it's uncool to stereotype any race with names:

@phagmob generalizing ANY race by calling them one sterotypical name for said race. i personally dont think is very cool, the end.
@phagmob girl BYE. do you know how many time ppl have called me BECKY? it didnt have any kind of positive intention behind it. dont start.
@SamMaffiaOnline I dont care. Dont call all asian women "ming lee" dont call white women "becky" dont call black women "sha nay nay"
@phagmob @iggys_bitch and by the way, this is not bey shade. i love her and the album. but my name is iggy, and you will all call me that.

She did, however, clarify, that she was not throwing shade at Bey:

"The term 'Becky' is offensive and a slur."
Girl your entire existence and career is offensive and a slur @iggyazalea

According to a tumblr that tracks Azalea's problematic tweets, she has made statements like, "Is it wrong I feel happy to hear southern accents again & not Mexican ones? F*ck it. I am."

If she's not interested in changing her ways any time soon, there's still this:
