Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has dismissed suggestions she lip-syncs her live performances.
The Fancy star was asked about her vocals at shows by fans on Twitter who suggested she does not rap live, and instead mimes along to a pre-recorded track.
However, Azalea fired back at the comments, insisting lip-syncing is just for pop stars with energetic dance routines.
"I've ... never lip synced on stage," she tweeted."Even if pop girls do, to an extent its (sic) fine if ur dancing. I don't think there is a NEED for a rapper to lip songs.
"Why would a rapper walking around on stage talking in rhythm need to lip the song? There is no need to do that ... Sometimes I also think ppl (people) get confused between lipping and having a backing track with adlibs, echoes etc to make it fuller," Azalea wrote.
