Protestors Hold Die-In Outside of USC Auditorium During Iggy Azalea Concert, Rapper Says Crowd Was 'Trolling In Real Life' [WATCH]

Protest have been sparked all across the nation since the non indictment verdicts in the Mike Brown and Eric Garner cases. Protestors recently held a die-in outside of USC Bovard Auditorium during an Iggy Azalea concert. The rapper dished on the night's events via Twitter saying the crowd was "trolling in real life."

According to Madame Noire, protesters gathered on Thursday (December 4). An invitation for the protest was sent out on Facebook. Iggy Azalea was called out "for appropriating Black culture."

"Are you angry that police are constantly getting away with murder and profiting off the loss of black lives? There may be cameras on them but that has not stopped them from innocently walking away from their crimes," the Facebook invitation read, according to the site. "The cameras should be on US so WE can have our voices heard. Iggy Azalea will performing in Bovard at 8 p.m. Like her or not, she has garnered attention and fame for appropriating Black culture. This is our opportunity to take her platform and help bring attention to much more important issues."

The "Fancy" rapstress addressed the die-in on Twitter when one of her followers noted that an alleged die-in participant was there "to shut s--t down" for "no real reason." Azalea went on to say the protestor were just "trolling in real life."

Azealia Banks recently called the Aussie rhymer out for remaining "silent" on black issues.

J. Cole also called Iggy Azalea out on "Fire Squad" from his forthcoming 2014 Forest Hills Drive album.

"While silly n---as argue over who gon' snatch the crown / Look around my ni--a, white people have snatched the sound / This year I'll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win a Grammy as I try to crack a smile."
