Things You Didn't Know About Iggy Azalea

Here are 7 things you didn't know about rapper Iggy Azalea.
1. She's not only a rapper, but she
was actually a model before her fame blew up to
what it is now!
She was signed by Wilhelmina
Models in 2012 and was announced the "New Face
of Levi Jeans."


2. Iggy's birth name is actually Amethyst Amelia
Kelly and that's why she loves purple. "I love purple because my name is Amethyst."

3. Her stage name Igyy Azalea is mixture of her street and dog's name. Iggy is the name of her childhood dog and Azalea is
the street where she grew up. Her family still lives
there!

4. She was once dating rapper A$AP
Rocky? In fact, she was so into him she got the title
of his mix tape, Live. Love. A$AP , tattooed on her
fingers. However, now, the A$AP part has a line
over it crossing it out.

5. Iggy didn't originally plan to be a solo artist.
When she started rapping at the age of 14 years
old, she first started a group with two other girls,
with plans to be like TLC. She soon disbanded the
group because the other girls weren't taking it as
seriously as her. Guess you can't stop a star from
shining!

6. Just before turning 16 years old, Iggy traveled to
the U.S., telling her parents she was "on a holiday"
with a friend. However, she decided to stay and
told them later she was not returning. Her love of
hip-hop made her feel at home in the U.S.

7. Iggy holds a record only held by The Beatles.
With her release Fancy hitting the number 1 spot on
the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, her collaboration
with Ariana Grande , Problem , hit the number 2 spot
that same week. This makes her the only other act,
other than The Beatles, to have the number 1 and 2
slots simultaneously with her first two Hot 100 hits.
