Iggy Azalea Bio
Iggy Azalea born as Amethyst Amelia Kelly is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, model, and music video director professionally known as Iggy Azalea. Iggy moved to the United States at the age of 16 to pursue her music career.
After releasing the viral music videos for her songs “Pu$$y” and “Two Times” on YouTube, Iggy Azalea won public recognition. Shortly thereafter, Azalea signed a recording contract with American rapper T.I.’s label Grand Hustle and released her 2011 debut mixtape, Ignorant Art.
Iggy Azalea Age
Iggy Azalea was born on 7th June 1990 in Sydney. As of 2019, Iggy is 29 years old. She grew up in Mullumbimby, New South Wales. Her father, Brendan Kelly, was a painter and comic artist from Europe and Australia, while her mother, Tanya, cleaned holiday homes and hotels. Azalea lived in a house surrounded by 5 hectares, 12 acres of land, which her father built from mud-bricks by hand.
Iggy says she has some Aboriginal, Indigenous Australian ancestry: “My family came to Australia on the First Fleet. My family’s been in that country for a long time, over 100 years. If your family’s lived in Australia for a long time, everyone has a little bit of Aborigine blood. I know my family does because we have an eye condition that only Aboriginal people have.”
Iggy has also said that her father made her look at art as a teenager, which has always influenced her life and work. She began rapping at age 14. Before embarking on a solo career, Iggy formed a group with two other girls from her neighbourhood:
“I was like, I could be the rapper. This could be like TLC. I’ll be Left Eye.” Iggy decided to disband the group because the other girls weren’t taking it seriously: “I take everything I do seriously. I’m too competitive.”Iggy says.
Azalea dropped out of high school in pursuit of her desire to move to America. She worked and saved the money she earned with her mother by cleaning hotel rooms and vacation homes. She claims to hate school, which made her miserable apart from art class. She also said she had no friends and her home-made outfits were teased. In 2006, before turning 16, Azalea traveled to the United States.
“I was drawn to America because I felt like an outsider in my own country, I was in love with hip hop, and America is the birthplace of that, so I figured the closer I was to the music, the happier I’d be. I was right.” Iggy recalled, “My mum was crying, saying, ‘Just be safe.’ I was thinking, ‘I’m going by myself. I’m fucking crazy!’.”
She received her General Educational Development (GED) after her arrival in the US and spent six years residing in the country on a visa waiver. She would return to Australia every three months to renew it. Azalea worked illegally in the US until she received a five-year O visa in February 2013.

Iggy Azalea Husband
So was Iggy Azalea married? It was said she was getting divorced. Funny enough we didn’t know she was married and neither did she. Divorce papers were obtained and filed in Texas by Hefe Wine also known as Maurice Williams seeking to end what appeared to be a common-law marriage.
Wine said he and Iggy “agreed to be married, holding themselves out as man and wife, and began residing together in the State of Texas on or about September 2008.” A man and a woman who live together for any length of time in Texas are considered legally married if they agree to be married and hold themselves out to others as husband and wife.
Iggy’s rep told TMZ … she NEVER held herself out as Hefe’s wife and never agreed to be married. Hefe therefore asked the judge to prohibit Iggy from selling various assets they accumulated during the marriage. Iggy and Hefe have been at each other’s necks over the rights to the music she wrote while they were together — music worth millions and millions of bucks.
If the judge had recognized the marriage, all of her music during the union become community property 50/50. Iggy’s rep said this was all a desperate attempt at a money grab. As for Iggy, she was in a year-long relationship with Lakers star Nick Young then. Iggy’s relationship with NBA star Nick Young was even more serious. Iggy revealed that they were an item in early 2014 after dating a lowkey for several months.
The couple was featured on GQ magazine’s March 2014 issue. Iggy and Young reported that they were engaged on June 1, 2015. But things took a sad turn for the couple after Nick Young bragged online about being unfaithful to Iggy after a video surfaced. Iggy announced to the public on June 19, 2016, just 3 weeks after the engagement, that she had broken up with Nick Young.
