Singer Iggy Azalea has reportedly got a threatening message from hackers who have warned her to make a public apology to Azealia Banks, otherwise they will release her alleged sex tape.

A mysterious Twitter handle named @TheAnonMessage has threatened to release still images from a sex tape involving the 24-year-old unless she publicly apologises to Banks and the protesters of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, reports eonline.com.

"@IGGYAZALEA, you have exactly 48 hours from now to release a statement apologising to @AzealiaBanks and the protesters in NYC..." the message from the hacker reads.

Another tweet reads: "You are guilty of misappropriating black culture, insulting peaceful protesters, and making light of Eric Garner's death. @IGGYAZALEA?"

"There's an X rated tape of you, we bet you'd certainly don't want public, are we right? @IGGYAZALEA....and this is nothing. Comply or else."

The account has since been suspended by Twitter.

As per reports, Azalea has consistently denied ever having a sex tape. She also claimed the media frenzy surrounding the speculation "makes me sick." A rep for the rapper declined to comment on the story.
