Nick Young Says Girlfriend Iggy Azalea is 'Scaring a Lot of People'

Nicki Minaj has previously explained that her onstage comment, "What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is, when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it" was not intended as a personal diss of "Fancy" rapper Iggy Azalea... but that doesn't mean people aren't continuing to take it as such.

That includes Los Angeles Lakers basketball player and boyfriend of Iggy Azalea, Nick Young.

The 29-year-old addressed the comments at the ESPY Body Issue Party at L.A.'s Lure nightclub, and discussed his girlfriend's reaction to the supposed insult.

"Oh man! You know, it is what it is," Young told reporters. "I had to deal with the aftermath when she came home... When she got home and was going through her phone and hearing all the things and people talking trash about her, you know I had to be there for her."

He added, "But you know what - Iggy is doing big things and it's scaring a lot of people!"

According to Young, Azalea "kind of brushed it off."

"She don't let it get to her.  She's number one right now so what can you do when you are at the top right now? Of course they will all come at you!"

While Minaj might have won the 2014 BET award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Azalea has laid claim to two spots on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Fancy," and her collaboration with Ariana Grande, "Problem."

So a veiled insult from "Other Woman" actress and rapper Nicki Minaj might have stung a little...

... and she and Young probably didn't appreciate Drake's ESPY joke that they are a "poor man's Jay and B..."

But odds are they're both doing just fine.
