Iggy Azalea has consistently proven herself to be the music industry’s ‘little engine that could.’

Beyond powering through the cancellation of her first headlining tour, the ridicule of Rap elite, scrapping her sophomore album due to the nonperformance of its singles, a label change, financial woes, public relationship battles, and later wielding claims of sabotage against her current label’s parent company (click here to read on that), the Grammy-nominee has weathered a number of documented storms.

A visionary and incomparable performer, the rapper is routinely cited as one of the greatest visual artists of all-time.

It’s makes the mass calls for her to be honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard honor at the MTV VMAs all the more understandable.

And while multiple outlets went live with reports suggesting Missy would finally be receiving her dues at this year’s show on August 20th, she’s saying otherwise.
