21-year-old Australian rapper, Iggy Azalea, opens up in a recent interview for Dazed Magazine. In this months issue of Dazed, it showcases Interscope’s newest signee, as she addresses her childhood, recent relationship with A$AP Rocky, and her transition of moving to the US.

” I was pretending to have sex with everyone in my rhymes. I’d say, ‘I’ll take you back home, I’ll give it to you, put it on you. I was like, 14. My poor mother ” – Iggy Azalea

Check out some of the excerpts from the interview below:

Her early rapping style:

Sh*t or not, even at the tender age of 14 she was rapping about her pu**y, doing the kind of raunchy stuff that would eventually land her a major label record deal in 2012. Nonetheless she’s still pretty shocked at how X-rated she was back in Mullumbimby. “I was pretending to have sex with everyone in my rhymes. I’d say, ‘I’ll take you back home, I’ll give it to you, put it on you.’ I listened to it in December when I was back at home and I was like, that is really terrible saying this stuff – I was like, 14. My poor mother.”

On the meaning behind her tattoos:

She had no tattoos until she moved to LA. Now she has several along the inside of her fingers, and one on her arm which reads “Trust Your Struggle” in flowing, cursive script. She drove past a wall, saw those words written on it, and got the tattoo about 20 minutes later. “Every single one of my tattoos I got the day I thought of it,” she says. Except for one, the one that reads “A$AP”, presumably in homage to her boyfriend A$AP Rocky. She thought about that one. “I was reading about tattoos, cos I like to know why I do crazy things,” she muses. “And they were saying how making something a part of your body is a way for you, in your mind, to try and control something. You know what I mean? When you feel out of control?”

On LA and the city’s cocaine issue:

LA has been tough for Iggy; the business relationships masked as friendships, the coldness of showbiz. “It’s a hard city,” she says. “People only love you here if you’re somebody to love. Otherwise nobody cares.” Plus she was bummed out at how much blow everyone does in Hollywood. “Do not offer me any bumps, I’m not interested,” she says. “I’ve never done a bump. I’ve never done cocaine. I am not interested in trying or experimenting with any of that shit, cos I seen a bitch fucking for crystal meth, and she was just doing bumps a few months prior. So I’m not interested. I am 100 per cent uninterested.” Peezy chimes in here. “It’s definitely west-coast shit. When you’re in the south and you’re like, ‘I wanna do a bump,’ everyone is like, ‘You’re Rick James, you’re a crackhead.’”
