6	Iggy Azalea (born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, June 7, 1990 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian rapper and model. Born in New South Wales, she began rapping at the 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 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.

31	----
32	!!I'm so tropey, you know already know:
33
34	* BlackWidow: The trope is namedropped in the song of the same name, which is about a DestructiveRomance.
35	-->Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you\
36	Like a black widow, baby
37	* BoastfulRap:
38	** "Fancy", which is all about the luxurious life the singer leads.
39	** "Beg For It" is essentially "Fancy"'s successor.
40	* BreakupSong: "Black Widow", featuring Music/RitaOra on the hook.
41	* TheCameo: In ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Furious 7]]''.
42	* ClusterFBomb: Most of her songs have a slew of F-bombs, as expected from a rapper.
43	* ComingOfAgeStory: "Work", and really her entire album.
44	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Her claim is that she moved to the US to pursue her dream of being a rapper. So naturally she started out as a Music/BritneySpears-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IosP8iSnwNk esque pop singer]]. Lets just say, switching to rapping was a ''very'' good move on her part.
45	* {{Homage}}:
46	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zpOMYRi0w video]] for "Fancy" is one to ''Film/{{Clueless}}'', starring Iggy herself as Cher Horowitz (and even sporting Cher's famous yellow plaid outfit).
47	** The video for "Black Widow" could also be a homage to ''Film/KillBill''.
48	** The video for "Change Your Life" is one to ''Film/{{Showgirls}}''.
49	* MsFanservice: She's very unashamed about showing off her curves, and especially her huge behind. Unsurprisingly, any booty shaking during her concerts gets a hugely positive response from [[AllMenArePerverts men in the crowd]].
50	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: She uses Indian costumes and dances in the video for "Bounce". She's actually faced criticism by people who feel she's unfairly copying the style of black artists without showing proper appreciation and respect for their culture.
51	* SexinessScore: "Started" has her bragging that she's a 10 to a woman who can't compete with her looks, calling her a "2".
52	-->Ayy, bitch, they lookin' at me, they not lookin' at you\
53	I don't mean to be rude, I'm a 10, you a 2
54	* SingingVoiceDissonance: Following PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy, the "Dirty South"-style African-American Vernacular English accent that Iggy raps with contrasts with her natural Australian accent.
55	* StageNames: Her real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly. She took "Iggy" from the name of her childhood dog and "Azalea" from the street she grew up on.
56	* StatuesqueStunner: Stands 5'10"/178cm.
57	* TalkyBookends: In the video for "Black Widow".
58	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Iggy serves as the tomboy to the girly girls of Music/CharliXCX , Music/ArianaGrande , Music/JenniferLopez and Music/BritneySpears in “Fancy”, “Problem”, “Booty” and “Pretty Girls” respectively.
59	* AWildRapperAppears: In Music/ArianaGrande's "Problem" and Music/JenniferLopez's "Booty".
