UPDATE: 12/8/2015
Monday, Erykah Badu posted an apology video to Iggy Azalea after saying her music wasn't considered rap during her open monologue for the Soul Train Awards.
"You know what? I want to do this for my daughters. I want to apologize to Iggy Azalea because she's one of their favorite artists and they listen to her all the time, and it's for them," she said.
She then made things lighter by adding some humor and addressed her daughters for loving the rapper more than her, "When I really think about it, if y'all loved her so much why don't y'all go and be with her then." She joked, calling out her daughters in the video, "Go on Puma, go on Mars."
The 44-year-old star continued with a straight face and told her daughters that the Australian rap star wouldn't be able to handle her motherly duties by attending parent-teacher meetings to talk about their behaviors in class.
In return, Iggy responded to the 30-second clip and extended an invitation to the singer's daughters for her upcoming tour with one stipulation. She wrote, "Tell the girls I'm a big fan of mom, even when we don't agree where to file my music in their iTunes folder. I'm going to announce a new tour soon," she added, "If they do great in class there is officially an invitation extended to them and friends with good report cards to come and enjoy a show anytime."
The "Fancy" star concluded her twitter message by squashing their beef writing, "I'm a 100% a woman of my word, and I appreciate the apology."

Erykah Badu unsurprisingly mentioned Iggy Azalea this morning after the "Fancy" rapper subbed her on Twitter a few days ago. Retweeting Azalea, Badu wrote "...Well that'll be the LAST time I send an uber for you! I can guaran DAMN tee you THAT."
Is there short-lived fued over for good?

Dec. 1, Iggy Azalea finally responded to Erykah Badu's Soul Train Awards opening monologue diss on Twitter after the singer tried to discredit her rap career. The Australian native who's been highly criticized about her authenticity in hip-hop in the past addressed Sunday's incident by reminding her critics of her successful past in a brief tweet.
"Hi guys I know its been a while." She wrote Tuesday, "We are days from 2016, but I came online today and saw it's still cool to try and discredit my 2014 accomplishments. LOL, f****** hell. Seems exhausting. Anyway - I've been enjoying the holiday season and I hope you all have too."
Sunday, the "Bag Lady" songstress pretended to call Andre 3000, Young Thug and Iggy Azalea inviting the rappers to attend the soulful award show and jokingly answered the phone, "Uh yes? Who is this? Iggy Azalea?" Erykah began, "Yeah, hey. Oh no no no no, you can come, 'cause what you doin' is definitely not rap."
What do you think about Iggy Azalea's stance in hip-hop?
