Iggy Azalea was born on 7th June, 1990 in Sydney, Australia. Her real name is Amethyst Amelia Kelly.

Iggy was 13 when she fell into bad habit of going to strip clubs just to get drunk and sleep with aged men.

Rapper used to clean hotel apartments and houses with her mama just to save cash, so that she could go to America for her music one day.

At the age of 14 she formed a band with few of her female friends. But things did not work and then she concentrated on solo music.

She moved to United States by lying to her parents that she is going on a vacation with her companions. She was just 16 at that time.

She ultimately chose to settle in US and denied to come back to her parents place.

Although Azalea herself revealed that she has gone through chest implant but she never admits the same for her lower body.

She ended up with such a unique stage name because of her dog whose name was 'Iggy' and street she used to live in known as 'Azalea'.

She used to wear home designed dress in her school, which always resulted in her teasing by other students.
