Iggy-Azalea

To many hip-hop fans dismay Iggy Azalea one best rap song at the Billboard Awards for her song “Fancy”. As with everything else Iggy a lot of fans of Hip-Hop where not okay with her winning the award. There is now a petititon that has thousands of signatures already and it states that singles can only qualify for the award if they are released after March 10th. “The eligibility time period for nominations is March 10th, 2014 through March 2015. "Fancy" was released on February 17th, 2014, nearly a month before the eligibility starting. This is unfair to the other nominees in these category, especially to "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj, who most likely would've won. Billboard did not follow their own guidelines and should have to recalculate these nominations without "Fancy" as a nominee.” Billboard has responded stating that the date range applies to a song’s success within the timeframe and not the release date so Iggy’s song is actually eligible.
