Iggy Azalea
has become the target of blackmail by online hackers, who have
threatened to release an alleged sex tape of the star unless she gives
in to their demands in less than 48 hours.
The
hackers, claiming to be part of notorious group Anonymous, made the
threats to the Australian rapper via Twitter account @TheAnonMessage,
which has since been suspended.
The
hackers claim they have a sex tape of the 24-year-old, which they will
release 'proof' of online unless she makes a public apology to rapper
Azealia Banks, who she has been feuding with over the last few months.
The unknown users claim
that the Fancy singer has made supposed derogatory comments about Banks,
and also protesters against police violence in the #blacklivesmatter
movement in the US.
'There's an
X rated tape of you, we bet you'd certainly don't want public, are we
right? ....and this is nothing. Comply or else' the tweet posted on
Sunday read.
The
account went on to claim that Iggy is 'guilty of misappropriating black
culture, insulting peaceful protesters, and making light of Eric
Garner's death'.
Garner
has become the face of protests against alleged police brutality
following his July death following a physical altercation with a police
offer.
"Anonymous" is one of the biggest online vigilante groups. Its members
hack into companies and governments computer systems, and they prefer a
life in the shadows, wearing masks in protests.
