Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, model, and music video director. Her songs include “Pussy,” “Two Times,” “Work,” “Fancy,” “Black Widow,” and, in a featured role, “Problem.” She has created her own label, Bad Dreams, through a distribution deal with Empire. Her official YouTube channel has garnered 3.4 billion views. She is the first non-American female rapper to top the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and the second act to reach number 1 and number 2 simultaneously on the Hot 100 with their chart debut appearances.

Iggy is the daughter of Tanya and Brendan Kelly, who is a painter and comic artist. Her surname is generally Irish. She moved to the U.S. at sixteen to pursue her music career. Iggy has a son with her former partner, American rapper, singer, and songwriter Playboi Carti.

Iggy has stated, “My family came to Australia on the First Fleet. My family’s been in that country for a long time, over 100 years. If your family’s lived in Australia for a long time, everyone has a little bit of (Aboriginal blood). I know my family does because we have an eye condition that only Aboriginal people have.”

Referring to a DNA test and possibly speaking facetiously, Iggy has stated:

They also told me my ancestry is a mix of Scandinavian, Asian and awesomeadian

    She looks like a average white girl. She’s trying to claim aboriginal blood to sound exotic. It’s weird how all of these celebrities all have English, Irish and German ancestry. I guess the media doesn’t like anything that’s unique.

    Iggy Azalea is trying so hard to be like a American Black girl from the hood. Her accent, her hip injections, the way she styles her hair and makeup, the way she dresses, her Black boyfriend. She’s appropriating cultures and she’s jealous of Asians and Latinas. Iggy Azalea is a pure wannabe. She’s the definition of a “wigger”. She copied Nicki Minaj.

    She doesn’t look Anglo nor Irish. She has a very distinctive or “ethnic” look. I haven’t seen a Brit/Irish with this look at all.

    Her eyes are brown (close to hazel), and they’re very small and hooded.

    She looks ethnic Russian – Pale skin, small eyes, light hair. Check out the Tolmachevy Sisters, who are Russians. They have that’ look’, as do MANY RUSSIANS.

    She looks like a ordinary white woman. She don’t have aboriginal blood in her. She would’ve been darker. She’s just trying to pass as Black because she has a Black fetish for Black men. Iggy tries to sound and look Black with all of that makeup and surgery. She’s ugly to me and appropriates Black culture.

    She looks very Swedish or Norwegian.

    Thought I’d find Gecko on her ancestry list. Either way, she’s a fucking hoax who somehow has managed to extend her 15mins without any actual talent. The irony that is when a white Australian says ‘I’m the realest’ in a fake African American accent
