Will.i.am has stepped in on the controversy surrounding Iggy Azalea's place in the hip hop community, coming out in praise of the rapper.

In a series of tweets, The Black Eyed Peas frontman commended Azalea's impact as a white rapper in the genre, arguing that there are bigger things to worry about that race.

"it saddens me that people are making a big deal about race in hiphop & not ethics...today's ethics goes against our foundation" said Will.i.am in one tweet, harbouring a significantly different viewpoint to the likes of Azealia Banks, who hit out at Azalea recently.

See Will.i.am's string of tweets below:

Azalea has come under fire from many of her contemporaries in the last few weeks, whilst at the weekend hackers group Anonymous threatened to leak proof of a sex tape starring the rapper.
