T.I. Rides for Iggy Azalea - T.I. wants everyone to know that he is not Iggy Azalea's ghostwriter and that she writes her own rhymes.

I couldn’t put her thoughts into words as articulate as she does. She just has a different way of presenting herself and her art," he said. "Now, don’t get me wrong, everybody in the studio helps with hooks and certain things like that. That goes for me and any of the other top five rappers. Everybody. It could be a producer, a homeboy, you want the best ideas." (Photo: Chris McKay/WireImage)
