Iggy Azalea's social media feud with Snoop Dogg was one of last year's most-memorable celebrity beefs, but it seems that's all water under the bridge for the rappers now.

Snoop caused a Twitterstorm last year when he unflatteringly compared Iggy to a character from White Chicks - leading to a stinging rebuke from the Aussie star.

10 Reasons Why We Want To Be Iggy Azalea’s BFF

1. So we can reenact the Fancy video with Iggy as Cher and us as Dionne. Or Tai. Or even Christian.

But now he's come out on her side against haters who criticise her for appropriating "black culture" with her take on hip-hop.

Speaking to the New York Times, the 43-year-old veteran said: "Rap is supposed to grow. One thing about Iggy and Macklemore - they got soul.

"They're inspired by hip-hop. I don't care how you're gonna take it to your people and flip it and dip it and serve it."

And speaking about his forthcoming album Bush - Snoop admitted he'd been feeling the funk.

"There’s a void for that style of music," he explained.

"I think if rap never came out, I'd have been a R&B singer. I would have been like Rick James, though — an edgy renegade."

He also got political when asked about the civic unrest in Baltimore, which he's been referencing on social media.

"You've got Bloods and Crips and Muslims now uniting for some kind of cause," he enthused.

"Despite that man losing his life, so many people are gonna come together behind that — people who wouldn't have talked, who would have been killing each other, now they're gonna be with each other."

First things first, I'm the realest (realest)
Drop this and let the whole world feel it (let 'em feel it)
And I'm still in the murder business
I can hold you down, like I'm givin' lessons in physics (right)
You should want a bad bitch like this (ha)
Drop it low and pick it up just like this (yeah)
Cup of Ace, cup of Goose, cup of Cris
High heels, somethin' worth a half a ticket on my wrist (on my wrist)
Takin' all the liquor straight, never chase that (never)
Rooftop like we bringin' '88 back (what)
Bring the hooks in, where the bass at?
Champagne spillin', you should taste that

I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold
Remember my name, 'bout to blow

I said baby, I do this, I thought that, you knew this
Can't stand no haters and honest, the truth is
And my flow retarded, they speak it, depart it
Swagger on super, I can't shop at no department
Better get my money on time, if they not money, decline
And swear I meant that there so much that they give that line a rewind
So get my money on time, if they not money, decline
I just can't worry 'bout no haters, gotta stay on my grind
Now tell me, who that, who that?
That do that, do that?
Put that paper over all, I thought you knew that, knew that
I be that I-G-G-Y, put my name in bold
I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw

I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold
Remember my name, 'bout to blow

Trash the hotel
Let's get drunk on the mini bar
Make the phone call
Feels so good getting what I want, yeah
Keep on turning it up
Chandelier swinging, we don't give a fuck
Film star, yeah I'm deluxe
Classic, expensive, you don't get to touch, ow

Still stunting, how you love that
Got the whole world asking how I does that
Hot girl, hands off, don't touch that
Look at that I bet you wishing you could clutch that
Just the way you like it, huh?
You're so good, he's just wishing he could bite it, huh? (say what what?)
Never turn down money
Slaying these hoes, gold trigger on the gun like

I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold
Remember my name, 'bout to blow

Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
(Blow)

Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
That do that, do that, I-G-G-Y
Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
(Blow)
