Iggy Azalea on Her Last Year: I Would Erase 2015 If I Could

Iggy Azalea shows off her figure on the cover of Elle Canada‘s April 2016 issue, on newsstands March 14.

Here’s what the 25-year-old rapper had to share with the mag:

On her last year: “If I could, I would Men in Black memory-erase 2015, I totally would�”that would be amazing! Oh, God, there are so many things. I think the Azealia Banks thing is what really started it all. We don’t like each other on a personal level, and that has gone on for many years�”before the Black Lives Matter incident happened. So when I dismissed her, people started to think that I dismissed the whole movement, but I wasn’t trying to dismiss Black Lives Matter�”I was trying to dismiss her because it’s our personal sh*t. I don’t think the subject matter of her tweet was invalid; I just think it was emotionally charged and driven by something else, and the whole thing got so misconstrued. I just wish I had acknowledged the issue head-on because it made people think I don’t care about what’s going on socially and what’s happening in America, and I do care. Even though I still hate Azealia Banks, I wish I had said it in a way that didn’t make people think I was oblivious to the movement. And I wish I hadn’t gotten into a fight with Papa John’s!”

On not looking at online comments: “I don’t look at the comments anymore. Well, I say that, but I’m only human. I love talking to fans, but then you end up in some random comment section and accidentally find things that can really affect you�”whether you realize it or not at the time. It’s tough.”

On her plastic surgery: “I think, in 2016, people should be more accepting of the fact that both famous and non-famous women are having cosmetic procedures. That’s just the reality. And I think more people need to admit that shit so it doesn’t have to be so taboo�”because we’re all doing it anyway. I wanted to change my nose because I didn’t grow up with a bump on it�”that happened when I got smashed in the face with a soccer ball when I was 16. Now I feel like my nose looks the way it’s supposed to look. But for how long do we have to acknowledge that I got a nose job? For the rest of my life? Am I going to be 45 and people are still saying ‘Nice nose job’?”
