For the past two days, the Australian rapper battled Beyoncé's fans, better known as the #BeyHive, after she said that the "Lemonade" singer was racist.

The Australian rapper Iggy Azalea battled against Beyoncé's fans about the term "Becky" and its negative connotations that her fiancé, Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young, allegedly called on Twitter. But then Young claimed his account was hacked and added he would "never" use that term.

 Azalea outburst about it, denied the racism accusation, and said she's a fan of Beyoncé's work. Shortly after, Young evidently dropped the new B-word. "I love my Becky but she be tripping lol," he wrote. "She got the time to erase my last tweet," Young added, seemingly about Azalea.

The rapper apparently took the high road, and helped her fiancé avoid a spelling error in his tattoo. "Guys, I wanna let you know. Nick can't spell and if it wasn't for the LOVE I have for him. He would have "BORN REBLE" tatted across his back," she wrote. "I came in half way thru his tattoo and noticed 'BORN REBEL' looked different to the way I remember it."

She added: "I will tweet the picture of his tattoo when I land. He really is lucky I mentioned it to him, I was gonna be petty and not say."

After Azalea told him, Young tried to brush off his Becky tweet, claiming his account was hacked. "Ok you won ... Wasn't fault my Twitter been hack I would never call you the Becky word lol," he wrote.

She then retweeted a message from a fan who said Young should get into "formation," which is a reference to Beyoncé's single from "Lemonade."
