Fans may be waiting with bated breath for ‘Pretty Girls,’ Britney Spears‘ forthcoming collabo with Iggy Azalea, but as a recent Marie Clarie feature shows, Azalea isn’t quite ready to stop talking about another big collab from her catalog – 2014 ‘megahit ‘Fancy’ featuring Charli XCX.

Scoring placement in their “Fresh Faces of 2015” line (which also features Zoe Kravitz and others), the Grammy-nominated rapstress dishes on hot topics like “body image,” opens up about her breast augmentation, and ‘Fancy’s enduring ‘cultural impact.’

Tuck in below for some interesting quotes from the mag, set to hit newsstands April 21st:

Iggy on Body Image:

“I hope women think, Iggy Azalea actually has a body that is relatable to my body… and you should feel fucking good about that,” she says.

Iggy on Fancy’s “Cultural Impact”:

“I think it’s particularly badass that we wrote ‘Fancy’,” she tells the magazine. “It was one of the most culturally impactful songs of last year, and two fucking chicks in their early 20s wrote it.”

Iggy on Critics of Her Appearance:

“I’m a little scrappy for sure, but I like that about myself,” she says. “Even with paparazzi pictures of me looking like complete shit, and people are like, ‘She should try harder,’ I’m like, no. There’s something to say about not being so contrived all the time. You should hold on to that as long as you can.”

    Get a fake ass = fat women will buy your products.
    Kim K, Nicki etc. know.

    • Lil Kim thee ONLY QB April 14, 2015

      She looks like an amazon tran.ny on this cover omg. Kim should refer her to her doctor cuz he can probably complete Iggy’s transformation into a woman. Any who kudos to her for obtaining this cover.

    What impact did fancy have??? I swear the industry is trying to save this rap parody…

    • POR April 18, 2015

      lmfao are u serious? Fancy was EVERYWHERE, and the most watched vid on vevo last year, most streamed on spotify, everyone was saying the catch phrases from it lmfao stay mad huntyy

  3. The Beysus Impact April 14, 2015

    Ugh…. UGH….

  4. Quinton251 aka Lil Wayne Stan April 14, 2015

    What about that tour? Is she gonna talk about that? This chick career ended quicker then a vine.

    • POR April 18, 2015

      the tour is happening this fall, along w the new album. stay checking

  5. Nicki Is Queen April 14, 2015

    Fancy is the only song she and her fans cling too

    • Nicki Is Queen April 14, 2015

      Can cling to anyway

    • Goodfunkingbye April 14, 2015

      It went to #1.

      *scans Nicki’s catalogue*

      When will Nicki do it?

      • YoursTruly April 14, 2015

        When will iggy have two #1 albums and a top 3 song without a feature? Has the new flop even gone gold yet? Aha

      • Goodfunkingbye April 14, 2015

        Right after the Pinkprint goes platinum. Right after Nicki stops recycling that old ass line about everyone being her “sons”. Right after Nicki gets a NUMBER ONE. You know, with her being a singles girl and all. Aha.

      • Keri Qween April 14, 2015

        @goodfunkingbye

        Kii clock the barbs

      • YoursTruly April 14, 2015

        not a Barb . Facts are facts love . All itchy can claim is an #1 song that was ghostwritten to try an solidify herself as a successful rapper but nothing else afterwards has proved she is. How’s trouble doing anyways? Nicki’s non-single truffle butter is top 20 no video/promo. I’d be mad too if my fave couldn’t even hold on to relevancy for more than a year 🙁 maybe she can get on bbwla for a check since music ain’t really working for her …. Good day :*

      • Goodfunkingbye April 14, 2015

        @YoursTruly Please point out where I said Uggly is my fave. Let me help you…you won’t find it anywhere. She’s far from my fave. I’m just over the barbz acting real extra and high like she’s slaying when there’s no real competition. You don’t get points for being default, presh. Hell, Iggy’s Fancy had y’all apoplectic and lethargic and Iggy is wack af. You don’t get to be cocky when your fave has been featured on a song with every artist known to mankind and still can’t clock a #1. What kinda flop queen is that? Goodfunkingbye —>

      • YoursTruly April 14, 2015

        And as I stated I’m not a barb. But can give credit where credit is due and nicki is stil at the top and igloo is somewhere behind her . And that’s what it is ! One hit song doesn’t define her artistry. Because I can give Iggy her credit , she is doing her thing . But let’s not act like she’s at the top of the food chain when she still is climbing her way up there . But to defend her doesn’t mean you have to degrade nicki to get your point across . Amethyst has a lot to prove and only time can tell . even though I doubt she’ll be here for long , I’d love for her to prove me wrong 🙂 until then good evening doll .

    • POR April 18, 2015

      shes had other hits in her debut album year alone but 9 million copies worldwide for that track alone I mean lmfao bigger than Onikas entire career #poorHa

  6. The Beysus Impact April 14, 2015

    Azealia Banks is playing Glasto again!!!

    • JOHNVIDAL April 14, 2015

      I agree all these basic chicks like Iggy, Ariana Grande and the likes only release forgettable crap 🙂
      Nowadays standards for getting hit singles are pathetic. Thankfully everybody knows it.

    • oldschool hip hop head April 17, 2015

      They are both crap.

  7. lets be real April 14, 2015

    Ummm didnt her ghost writer already clock her tea about writing fancy??? Plus besides “who dat who dat”(taken from the saints) the only words to Fancy i know are Charli XCX she MADE the song with her catchy infectious hook not that “hoespice on call,stripper austrailian potato dydggudayijoogfff ” “rapper”

    • AmbeRussell April 14, 2015

      But why can’t Charlie xox do the same for herself? She had like 1, 2 hits besides fancy. And those songs are no where as successful as fancy. Ppl will make up an excuse for anything, like bc Charlie voice sounds like Gwen is the reason the song was a hit. And Gwen new singles did how well? O they didn’t.

  8. Mark111 April 14, 2015

    The tards would be the first ones here. Uggly, do you, I’m not mad.

  9. Barb-wire April 14, 2015

    One Word: Ghostwriter.

    • TheElusiveLamb April 14, 2015

      One Synonym: Safaree

      • DEL BEY April 14, 2015

        Safaree didn’t write anything, Nicki’s talent is hers alone sis

      • TheElusiveLamb April 14, 2015

        How did he not write anything for her when on some of her songs, his name is there?
        IE.

        Did it On ‘Em:
        O. Maraj, Shondrae Crawford, J. Ellington, Samuels

      • JT April 14, 2015

        One Flop: Mariah

      • TheElusiveLamb April 14, 2015

        @JT look at that shoebox under that coach roach infested water mattress and see what the real flop is b****.

  10. TheElusiveLamb April 14, 2015

    Unless she’s saying “I wish I could sing like Mariah Carey…” I don’t take her words serious. Still, as a feminist, I have applaud her for hustling.

  11. Rosie April 14, 2015

    Why do the haters run into every Iggy post? Black Twitter/Tumblr teas.

    The Glasto lineup is great. Poor America. Death at Coachella’s wack ass and some random festival in Atlanta being the best lineups we can get.

  12. Barb B**** April 14, 2015

    Lmao at cultural impact. You mean the dragging black people gave you for your gimmicks?

    • Goodfunkingbye April 14, 2015

      A Nicki stan talking about gimmicks. PLEASE.

  13. JT April 14, 2015

    Cultural what? Lmao someone deport her dumb ass back to the land of G’dday mate I’m sick and TI-YAD of her thinking she’s something special in the industry. Igloo you ain’t s***, sit down and behave!

  14. B**** I Can’t Even Spell Welfare April 14, 2015

    You know, it must be amazing to have a money machine behind you. They are determined to milk her for all that she’s worth.

    Look, Fancy is a great pop song (thanks to Charlie XCX) but why are they acting like she has produced something as significant as “To Pimp A Butterfly?” It’s a pop song. Nothing more, nothing less.

    No legendary status in the future. No hip hop accolades. No lyrical impact or respect…EVER.

    She is the new Ke$ha…and Ke$ha was WAY bigger.

    I don’t get it.

  15. M April 14, 2015

    She looks like a man on this cover.

  16. you wanna be on tv I bet April 16, 2015
