Amethyst Amelia Kelly, or Iggy Azalea, is one of the rising female rappers today. The singer admitted that she felt like an outsider in the rap industry because she is white and is from rural Australia. Azalea’s love for rapping was because of the band TLC and rapper Left Eye Lopez. It was clear to the young singer that she wanted to pursue a music career in the United States. She traveled to the US before she was 16 and stayed behind.She later settled in Los Angeles, where she met fellow rapper Jefe “Wine-O” Wine, who later became her boyfriend.

To his credit, he was the person who signed Azalea under his independent label and the one who released her music on iTunes even though they were separated. Her debut album was well-received, and after signing with a major record label, Azalea’s career had received a considerable boost. She has since won several major awards and received numerous recognition for her contribution to the music industry.
