Azalea appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Maire Claire. She speaks out about her decision to embrace her flaws.

I hope women think, Iggy Azalea actually has a body that is relatable to my body…and you should feel f***ing good about that…I’m a little scrappy for sure, but I like that about myself. Even with paparazzi pictures of me looking like complete s**t, 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.

Seacrest interviews Azalea during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her career and collaboration with Jennifer Hudson.

I’m working on my second album at the moment. I’m at the beginning stages. I started working on it. I maybe only got a week of recording in to be honest with you since January. And then I started doing all this Grammys stuff, and then I decided to direct the music video for my new single with Jennifer Hudson called “Trouble,” so that took up a lot of time.

Azalea appears on the cover of the November 2014 issue of Maxim Australia magazine. She does not want to be on the cover, her Australian label sold the image on the cover without Azalea’s permission.

I’m going to publicly say something to the Australian division of my record label right now because my message seems to be ignored privately, stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers.

 I just feel like everything I do, people are always like ‘She probably had sex with someone to get that… she’s probably sucking that d***’.’ I kind of felt honestly like, finally someone that [the press] won’t be able to say I had sex with to get it.

I think people would like her to be my bestie, but she’s my friend. You know, we have a working relationship. I see her out at events. But we don’t hang out in our spare time.

Seacrest interviews Azalea during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about how she got Katy Perry to give her the single Black Widow when the single was written by Katy Perry for herself.

She had just put her album out. So I said, ‘Hey, Katy, why don’t you let me take this and do something for it? I have an album that’s just about to drop. And I would love to see it kind of come out for the world to hear asap.’ And she said ‘Alright.

Seacrest interviews Azalea during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about being on Jennifer Lopez’s album.

I love her. I definitely used to sit in my bedroom as a young girl and lip-sync Jennifer Lopez songs, so it’s very cool to have a song with her on her album. She actually only asked me about two weeks ago, so I didn’t have to keep the secret for too long. When I opened on tour for Beyonce, I had to keep that under wraps for months, which really killed me. So this is a breeze.
