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

That FAKE ACCENT is fake thank you very much!!! She tried rapping in AU & was repeatedly booed off stage until the refused her to even go up on stage. She came to america in the south yes however not the one u thinking of :-/ She came to Miami & FYI we DO NOT SPEAK LIKE WE R CHEWING THE INSIDE OF OUR FACES JONESING FOR CRACK!!! She has a strong Australian accent that disappears to make way for trailer park good time girl hoho when she “raps” she’s gorgeous but what she turns into on stage is just gross. Glorified white trash
She is 100& Irish she has English Scottish and Welsh in her how many Australians have 100% Irish ancestry.
She’s so trashy. I can’t believe her “noise” is called music. She tries way too hard and acts like a wannabe ghetto hoodrat. What’s funny is, her family is probably upper middle class and she’s rapping about “the struggle” and other dumb shit. She doesn’t seem fully white either, looks a bit Asian.
That “fake accent” is because when she came to America (in the South), she learned to rap.
As always pseudo-white only passes as white in america but looks atypical and strange to everyone else. First I thought she’s indian but now it’s clear she has distant aboriginal ancestry which makes total sense. It’s known how fast aboriginal features fade when they mix with white 3rd generation can be almost invisible even though they are a very harsh looking race. Apparently the more generations your ancestry goes back in australia the more likely some desperate pervert ancestor mated with one of those abos.
I doubt she has Aboriginal ancestry and she doesn’t look it either. She definitely wouldn’t just be Irish though. It is not common in Australia to have Aboriginal ancestry. The Aboriginal population has always been quite small as they were a hunter gatherer population and never were large in numbers. She doesn’t seem to have any proof herself of Aboriginal ancestry. This wouldn’t be difficult to prove as Australia hasn’t been inhabited by Europeans for very long. Most Australians that do have Aboriginal blood it is fairly obvious and most are in contact with other Aboriginal people.
Iggy is unusual looking so it would be great if her ancestry is ever properly researched.

( Most Australians that do have Aboriginal blood it is fairly obvious )
I don’t know about it been fairly obvious,this kid here would have tricked me:

I think it’s like the person said above,their like everyone else.By the time of the quadroon and octoroon generations hit,it would probably be pretty hard to tell. Then you say most stay in contact,but what about the ones that don’t? You also mention,that it wouldn’t be difficult to prove heritage,however what if it is.Jack Charles( Aboriginal actors)says it’s very difficult for members of the Stolen Generation, to find information about their background.Even jack had a problem once,and he’s obvious.:

Most may have stayed in contact,but what about the ones that wanted to live their lives as white,why would they stay in contact.I brought this up before,that there are white Australians scrambling for old documents proving their aboriginal ancestry(because of reparations)
Most Australians with Aboriginal ancestry are aware of it, even adoptees. I live here and most Aboriginals are mixed. In the north west and the Northern Territory there are some full blood people but they live in isolated communities. Iggie is not aware and if you read her statement she is talking rubbish. There is no inherited eye condition that will show you have Aboriginal ancestry. She also said that her family have been in Australia over 100 years and it would be very obvious in that period of time if you have Aboriginal family. She would know for definite if she had Aboriginal ancestry but she obviously doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Well all that iggy stuff aside,here I am thinking you’re in Ireland.Were you born in Australia ,or did you move there?
Born in Ireland and moved to Australia as a child but been back and fro’ between both countries many times.
If all her ancestors came to Australia over 100 years ago she cant just be Irish must have some English as well
