‘The New Nicki Minaj’: Aussie Iggy Azalea Takes Over Stage in London Concert
Move over, Nicki Minaj. There's a new rapper in town, and she isn't your Average Joe.
Australian rapper Iggy Azalea stunned the audience at the O2 Arena in London last Tuesday, as she showed the world her guns in super-tight high-waisted shorts, fish nets, and a strappy bra. And as if her daring outfit wasn't enough, the 22-year-old proved that she can booty shake just as well as the best of them, perfectly opening the European leg of legendary rapper Nas' tour.
''Last night was dope, tonight will be even better," Iggy tweeted after the show. The gusty singer is set to perform in Birmingham next.
Before the London concert, the Australian hip-hop artist released the music video of her new single Work, where she lived up to her booty glory on stage. In the video, she confidently rocked various skimpy outfits including tight red trousers, a crop top, a super sheer top that covered only her lady lumps, and an extremely short and tight-fitting yellow shorts.
The clip starts with Iggy strutting through the desert in killer Louboutin heels, and at one point, the camera zooms in on her booty, letting the world see her impressive back bump.
But more than that, in the track, we hear Iggy rap about her self-inflicted struggle--that is her rise to fame--singing, "No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami."
Born with the name Amethyst Amelia Kelly, Iggy reportedly cleaned with her mother to save up for her music career, and this song tells about her life. The sexy rapper moved into America when she was 16, after telling her folks she was just going there for a holiday.
On December 2011, she revealed the upcoming release of her debut studio album called The New Classic, after signing a major record label deal. Since then, the bootylicious siren has been signed up to both Mercury and Grand Hustle Records, with rapper T.I. producing her new album.
Well, Nicki Minaj better watch her back, because Iggy sure has some great booty-shaking moves up her sleeve, and she isn't afraid to show it to the world. With her kicking moves and great rapping skills, this Aussie sure is a superstar in the making.
