Last week, young American pop star Halsey made her feelings on rapper clearly known when she called the Australian star a 'f**king moron'.

Halsey was talking about the artists that she would not have collaborated with on her new album, when she claimed that Azalea had "a complete disregard for black culture".

Now, Azalea has responded to the jibe in an interview on Australian radio.

"It’s a bit weird to bring someone up in an interview that you weren’t asked about," she said. “I don’t know her, I’ve never met her or interacted with her in any capacity, so I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to kind of throw that out there. But she’s young and you know I hope that she kind of learns maybe to be a bit less judgmental when she’s kind of in the same shoes.”
