Here are some photos of Australian rapper Iggy Azalea at Paris Fashion Week a few days ago. She was attending the Maison Martin Margiela show. And not wearing a bra. So that’s why we had to do some nipple-blurring. As for Iggy… well, I’m hoping that most of you know who she is. Some see her as “the white Nicki Minaj” but some see her as some kind of bizarre one-of-kind musical artist. When I first saw the video for “Work”, I’ll admit that I was sort of enchanted by her. She’s got a crazy body and her voice is… unusual. Iggy’s getting more famous by the minute though, and she definitely rocks that kind of “Bad Bitch” attitude. She’s only 23 years old. She’ll be around for a few more years at least. Especially if she keeps giving amazing interviews about how she found success in the music industry:
Iggy Azalea has hit out at critics who have suggested she has been sexually involved with her male counterparts in order to further her career.
The star joins Beyonce on the Australian leg of her Mrs Carter tour later this year, and claims joining the ‘Single Ladies’ star on the road will mean she avoids the sexual slurs she has previously been hit with. Speaking to Gigwise the Australian rapper candidly expressed her frustration at the unfair allegations.
“Obviously I was really excited and happy,” she said, when asked about joining Beyonce on tour. “I kind of felt honestly like, finally someone that [the press] won’t be able to say I had sex with to get it. I just feel like everything I do, people are always like ‘She probably had sex with someone to get that… she’s probably sucking that d–k.’”
“Honestly, I swear to God I’ve never sucked anyone’s d–k for anything,” the ‘Bounce’ rapper added. “I’ve only ever sucked d–k for free. I’ve only ever given free bl*wjobs. I’ve never given a bl*wjob for anything other than I’ve wanted to give that guy a bl*wjob. They won’t be able to say I gave Beyonce a bl*wjob, so, yes! You can’t discredit me for this… she likes me, and she invited me, so, so there. Take that.”
First of all, do you believe her? That she’s never handed out a beej to further her music career? I don’t know. I wouldn’t judge her if she was bangin’ or beejin’ her way to musical successes, mostly because I think that’s the way the music industry works a lot of the time. But if she says it never happened, so be it. Second of all, I kind of love her for “I’ve only ever sucked d–k for free… I’ve never given a bl*wjob for anything other than I’ve wanted to give that guy a bl*wjob.” Preach it sister.
But, here’s the problem – just a few days after Iggy made these statements, there was an announcement that she was no longer going to be opening for Beyonce in New Zealand. Iggy tweeted: “Yes, Iam missing the NZ leg of the Mrs Carter Tour. I personally really wanted to come, but sometimes I don’t get to make the choices.” Huh. Maybe Beyonce really did want a beej after all?! Either that or Beyonce wanted no part of Iggy’s Free Beejs For All Tour.

listened to her album the other day, its all vocal fry.
I’m not trying to be a jerk, I’m genuinely curious. What does “vocal fry” mean?
Yes, vocal fry… I can’t begin to imagine. I’m getting so far behind on the new terminology, still back in the days of “feelin’ groovy”.
Vocal fry = Kim Kardashian’s speech patterns.

Well now she has more time to give those free bj’s.
Maybe that’s why I don’t know who she is.
Lol! You aren’t missing much. She basically raps like Kesha.
Oh dear. Maybe she should consider the other oldest profession, in the case.
Kesha sounds like a cheerleader.
Not even for fun?
Not even for Flag Day?
+1000 best comment ever!
Um, that’s great, thanks for sharing but weren’t we talking about __________?
I’d like everyone to know I too have not given a BJ for money. Love the pantsuit, though. (I’m insinuating nothing)
I have no idea who she is, nor do I care about her oral habits. It’s too early for this s**t.
I never heard of her which seems to be a good thing.
Edit to add I seem to have made a mistake when I replied, it was not supposed to be an answer to someone.
Her statement is somewhat ambiguous. I mean she says she has given BJ’s because she wanted to and if you really wanted a record deal or whatever you might really want to give a blowjob to someone who could give you what you want. I still like her statement though. Who knows and I have never seen nor heard of re before this article.
The point she was trying to make is that she’s never given a bj in exchange for any favors within the industry. I’m not sure I believe her.
I don’t even have words. Is this talent? or is this Kesha?
Also, I love how she is so offended by the idea that people think she’s giving bj’s for access when her video is like the camera is giving her a pelvic exam.
Maybe I’ve just had my fill of celebrity whining for a while. Tyra complaining about unrealistic body images, when that’s how you made your money. A-Rod complaining about his damaged reputation, when your reputation was built on your performance that was fueled by steroids. Kanye West complaining about paps when you obviously thrive on it, AND YOU ARE WITH A KARDASHIAN.
Don’t use sex to sell your image and then be ‘confused’ when people think you are all about sex.
Great points and I totally agree.
I completely agree with this excellent rant.
+ infinity, you are so right
Yep. If women in the entertainment industry don’t want to be accused of giving blowjobs to get their careers, they’d better make sure their videos aren’t sexual. It’s not like they’re men, and they can have sexual videos and songs without being slut-shamed for it. Dress modestly, don’t move that way, don’t sing about things like that, and be a good girl. 🙂
Maybe if she were talented and sexual like most of the women in the industry,there wouldn’t be speculations!
She looks like Macaulay Culkin.
In 4 lines, at the end of the article, she managed to say bl0wjob 4 times. What an impressive record….
Take it from someone who knows: If you have to say it, you have already lost the debate.
I swear that wasn’t me on the chandelier at Thornfield Manor. Really, it wasn’t. I promise to clean up the mess.
Bahaha! Nice!
I can’t stand her.Why is everybody trying to make her happen when she lacks rap talent? She can’t freestyle or spit for her sake… I guess nowadays you don’t need talent to be in music industry
She is totally talentless. Plus shes a poser, an Aussie girl with a Brooklyn accent. Lol.
She is however endorsement friendly on account of her complection and lean body in a way that Nikki Minaj will never be. She is a commercial dream. Now watch the industry pour money to make her a star.
She’s a novelty. Pretty white girl who is a “rapper”.
Pretty? Not trying to be mean but i’m not seeing the pretty…
@A…that’s fair. I’m not attached to that description, she’s garden variety at best. But she IS the basic standard for what is considered pretty or attractive as far as the entertainment industry goes.
Of course I judge people who use sex to get ahead, it’s pretty obvious in the movie/music industry it’s happening more and more from the lack of talent we keep seeing.
Wouldn’t you judge someone in corporate who says they were made VP by blowing the boss?
It’s the same as when very attractive / fit people are promoted because of their looks not talent or smarts. I judge there too, everyone should.
But the way of the world is such crap now we are now learning to accept this ? Not me, not ever.
Classy!
Wow. Does anybody need to wonder why Beyonce bounced her out of her tour.
Why, why, why do these young chicks in the music biz have to rely on vulgarizing themselves by shock-talking about BJs and molly, exposing their private bits, and generally being as offensive as possible in interviews?
Where has the focus on talent gone? Oh right, now I know…they have no talent. Silly me.
“Why, why, why do these young chicks in the music biz have to rely on vulgarizing themselves by shock-talking about BJs and molly, exposing their private bits, and generally being as offensive as possible in interviews?” Because we live in a patriarchal society where women are only viewed to have value if they’re doing or saying something that will appeal to the male gender.
^This
Thank you. Exactly. I’m not offended that she is saying “blow job” so many times in the interview. It seems she has been put in a position to have to defend herself there, which is what is actually offensive. It’s also offensive to me that just because a woman is putting her sexuality out there, it is assumed that she is a ho. I tried to not like Iggy Azalea, but I watched some of her videos and think she’s legitimately talented and has her own style. And, I admit, finding out that Gangsta Boo is in her corner justified it for me.
Sad but true. In the new millennium we’re backsliding to an era where a young woman’s only redeeming quality is to be f*ckable.
I agree with all of this,but have you also considered the fact that this ignorant rumors party come from the fact that she isn’t talented?when she first entered the rap game everybody thought “Why does she have a deal?” That’s where the sexist speculation started…in my opinion it’s sexism+lacks of talent for rap
I actually really like her. I love her song “Work”- it’s catchy and tells her story, kind of. Apparently she’s been through a lot and clawed her way up. “Murda Business” is good, too. They’re both on my workout mix. I don’t think she’s a lyrical genius, but it’s something slightly different and she’s not gimmicky like Nicki Minja. Unless you count her ridiculous ass and her flagrant use of her body to get attention. (No shade- her body is banging, imo)
I got like 20 seconds into that video and turned it off. The fake accent is just too ridiculous for words. I am embarrassed for her.
Err…. I have nothing to say about this. mediocre song, mediocre personality… yes killer body i’ll give her that.
Can we please talk about Janelle Monae some more?? Now there is a talented, original artist who pushes boundaries and gives interesting interviews about androids and sexism. I really wish she would ghet more attention, she actually deserves it.
Janelle Monae is the queen right now, no doubt. The fact that she’s not hyped is sort of a plus, IMO but she’s a waaaaay better credit to our gender than anyone else in the game at this time.
Yes please!Janelle is far more interesting and *cough*talented
“My goal is never to dress up because I don’t wanna show skin but it is to say I’m in control of my body… As women,I think, we should be in control of our body; whether we’re naked or whatever but let that be your decision not these other standards : you are women,you need to do this!”
And this is why I love Janelle Monae. She is sexy in her own quirky, somewhat androgynous way and her sex appeal is based solely on what SHE presents to us. Not the “look at my tits and ass!” why that is generally presented as sexy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jenelle Monae’s clavicle, much less her tits or ass. And I’m good with that right there.
I had no idea about this Iggy chick. The one time I heard this song I thought it was Kesha (and I hate all things Kesha… whiny, nasally voice is not my thing). Watched the video though and she does have a great body, but that’s it. Awful music.
Also, kudos to the posters with all the Janelle Monae love :). Excellent taste in music!
Oh please. Iggy is a racist asshole poser who has attacked women of color before and has been accused of cultural appropriation. (google it if you want information on this)
Why are you even giving her space on this blog?
If you read diary of a Hollywood street king he has all the info on this lady. She fooled around with TI and apparently he paid for her arse, yes its booty shots. Nothing natural there.
I tend to take everything I’ve read on that blog with a grain of salt.
She doesn’t rock anything.
I think she’s hilarious and gives great interview. Her videos are a lot of fun. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and there’s real humor in her work. I wonder if Bey bounced her off the tour because she’s not “ladylike” enough. All the crude talk about BJs may have offended the megastar.
i watched the “work” video and she totally reminds me of gwen stefani in that eve video “let me blow ya mind” her voice is oddly onfitting with her looks…like she’s lipsynching to minaj
I saw her speak on some show, watched her “Pu$$y” video in amazement (she just says it over and over while eating icecream pretty much) and I figure she’s some model that got bored with modeling so she decided to become a rapper, got a buttjob of some sort, changed her name to her rap name using that email spam formula of combining the name of your first pet with the first street you lived on to find your rap name, and this cheap trick Iggy Azalea was transparently born.
I’d at least have made up a better name.
Nahhhh you cray! That’s a great song!!
Taste the rainbow, taste my skittles!
I saw her live in Paris – she was amazing! Her rapping is pretty great – fast, clear, awesome lyrics.
Go to youtube and watch the video for P*$$y! Great song!!
Do you listen to hip-hop usually? O.O
