This week, rumors have been floating around that Iggy Azalea recorded a sex tape with her ex-boyfriend, Houston rapper Hefe Wine. She says no. Hefe Wine says yes. So does Steven Hirsch, the CEO of porn company Vivid Entertainment, which allegedly has the footage, and so does Iggy’s legal camp, although they say it was shot without her consent and she might have been underage at the time.
Whether or not Iggy Azalea did record a sex tape, however, two things are clear: 1) If she did, she clearly doesn’t want it out there, which is reason enough to stop talking about it right now, and 2) her response to the rumors, an epic rant on Twitter referencing Celebgate and lambasting the media for invading female celebrities’ privacy, is spot-on:
obviously I've seen the news feed today and i just want to say…

Anyone who releases or attempts to make profit off someone else's intimate moments against their will is a sex offender.
