What makes her an icon of today’s day and age?
Well, here is everything you always wanted to
know:
1. She was the face for Levi’s Jeans
In September of 2012, Iggy Azalea was announced
as the face of Levi’s new “Go Forth” campaign.
At the time, she was signed under the agency
Wilhelmina Models International Inc.
2. She dated A$AP Rocky
She began her love affair with A$AP Rocky back in
2011 when she met him through record producer
Chase N. Cashe. Their relationship ended in 2012.
3. She had his mixtape tattooed on her fingers
Around the time of her January 2012 interview
with Vibe, she got the title of his breakout
mixtape, Live . Love. A$AP , tatted on her fingers.
She stated that Rocky also had a tattoo of her
name, yet it was not visible. Since the breakup,
she has had the tattoo crossed out.
4. She is currently dating Nick Young of the
Lakers
The two have been a couple since November of
2013.
5. Her first date with Young was to Target
Oh, and it was her idea. But don’t worry, they
went on a real dinner date afterwards.
6. When she first moved to Miami, she only knew
one person
His name was Derek and he was originally from the
Bahamas. She bonded with him while browsing rap
music online. She would send him sample tracks
because he was American and, to her, that made
his opinion “ legit .”
By the time she moved to Miami, Derek was also
living there. Without ever meeting in person, he
picked her up at the airport on July 4th with his
friends and her career only took off from there.
7. She had to stop crowdsurfing at shows because
people kept trying to finger her
And apparently girls try to do it more than the
guys…
8. Her first tattoo was inspired by something she
had seen written on a wall
That tattoo says “Trust Your Struggle”; she got
it tattooed on herself within an hour of seeing it
displayed across the wall.
9. She dropped out of high school to move to Miami
to get closer to the hip-hop scene
Azalea’s father was an artist while her mother
was a housecleaner. Her family struggled to make
ends meet and Iggy helped her mother clean
houses in order to save money to pursue her
dreams.
10. Azalea was the first female and international
rapper to make it on XXL’s annual Top 10
Freshman list
Well that accomplishment speaks for itself,
doesn’t it?
11. Her birth name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly
So where did the name come from? Iggy was the
name of a dog she had while growing up, whereas
Azalea was the street she grew up on.
12. Her go to work-out regime consists of squats
and sit-ups
Clearly that’s working for her, so I guess it’s
time for us all to follow suit. I mean look at that!
13. Revolve Clothing has its own Iggy Azalea
shopping section
No, I’m not even kidding.
14. Iggy first appeared on the scene back in 2011
when her songs “kitten” and “My World” went
viral on YouTube
Many people falsely believe that “Work” and
“Fancy” are what put her on the map, but she
was on there way before those songs aired.
15. She’s inspired by Tupac
16. She got her first fake ID at the age of 13
Iggy is a wild child. She told Complex magazine:
When I was 13 I got a fake ID. I’d go out, get
hammered off my face in nightclubs because I
thought that made me an adult, meet older guys
who thought I was older, and go f*ck them.
I’d do that all the time. Hitchhiking was
something I would do all the time as a kid. When I
was 14 I used to go to the red light district called
Kings Cross and go to strip clubs.
