Iggy Azalea: I have a relatable body

Iggy Azalea wants women to ''relate'' to her body and is happy to look less-than-perfect in photos because she doesn't want to be ''contrived''.

The 'Fancy' hitmaker - who recently confessed to having had breast implants - doesn't get upset when unflattering pictures of her appear online because she hopes it shows she is just an ordinary female.

She said: ''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.'' The 24-year-old rapper finds it funny when people says she should ''try harder'' with her appearance because she doesn't want to appear too groomed as it would be ''contrived''.

Speaking to the new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine, she said: ''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.''

The Australian star is incredibly proud of the success of 'Fancy', which she worked on with 22-year-old singer Charli XCX. She said: ''I think it's particularly badass that we wrote 'Fancy.' It was one of the most culturally impactful songs of last year, and two f***ing chicks in their early 20s wrote it.''
