Hey, do you think that what the world needs right now, in 2015, is yet another version of “Lady Marmalade?” No? Well, Iggy Azalea apparently agrees with you.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Rita Ora, who collaborated with Azalea on the hit single “Black Widow,” mentioned that she was a big fan of the 2001 remake of the 1974 Patti LaBelle hit, which featured Mya, Pink, Christina Aguilera, and Lil’ Kim. She went on to express interest in recording another cover of the song, suggesting that she, Miley Cyrus, Charli XCX, and Azalea would be the potential cohorts for such a collaboration.
Azalea, however, had no interest in the idea, and quickly took to Twitter to express that sentiment:

I don’t often see eye-to-eye with Iggy Azalea, but she has the right idea here. We’re probably better off not remaking this song every 15 years with a every single generation of female pop stars. Of course, pop music has never been about discretion, so there’s a decent chance this ends up happening anyway, probably with, oh, let’s say Ariana Grande in the role Iggy would’ve played. When the 2016 VMAs begin with this unnecessary trainwreck, don’t say she didn’t warn you.
