Iggy Azalea strikes a pose for ‘Cosmopolitan Australia’ this month, sizzling on the magazine’s cover seven years after leaving the country to pursue a Rap career in Miami, Florida.

Speaking against the treatment of Aboriginals down under, Iggy told ‘Sway in the Morning‘:
If I can be honest about my country, I do still think that there are a lot of Australians that have unfair stereotypes about Aboriginal people. The thing about Aboriginal people is that they don’t believe that you should believe in an enclosed structure like a house, they sleep under the stars.
So for us to come into Western civilisation we often try to make them fit into our confines, so often the government will build them houses and think they’re helping them and it’ll get destroyed.
