Macklemore on 'White Privilege' Iggy Azalea Diss: 'I Should Have Let Her Know'

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take the cover of Billboard‘s latest issue.

Here’s what Macklemore had to share with the mag:

On his sobriety: “If it wasn’t for sobriety, we would not be -talking right now. There would be no Unruly Mess to discuss. There just wouldn’t be any music.”

On dissing Iggy Azalea in “White Privilege”: There’s enough of a relationship that I should have let her know beforehand. And I didn’t do that…I haven’t talked to her.”

On media criticism when he talks about race: “When you mess up publicly it can be difficult to get vulnerable again or to put yourself out there.”
