Iggy Azalea is an Australian rapper and model. Born Amethyst Amelia Kelly in New South Wales on June 7, 1990, she began rapping at age fourteen, relocated to the United States at the age of sixteen, and stayed on tenuous visa records. She burst into public view with her controversial songs "Pu$$y" and "Two Times", but only recently made it big thanks to "Fancy" and her guest spot on Music/ArianaGrande's "Problem". Her first album, ''The New Classic'', was released in April 2014.

Has completely no relation with Iggy Koopa from Franchise/SuperMarioBros. Also, his redesign in VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii came about a or two years before she finally started in the music industry. Iggy Koopa is actually named after Music/IggyPop.

!Tropes

* UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents: She fakes a Southern American one when she raps. This is probably because, when she moved to the US, she took up residence in cities like Miami, Atlanta, and Houston, which are some of the major cities of SouthernRap. Thus, she picked up the techniques and accent of local rappers.
* BlackWidow: "Black Widow".

Not exactly. Being white and wanting to be a rapper =/= Pretty Fly For A White Guy. White rappers are a thing.
