Iggy Azalea covers GQ: “It’s not my home. I don’t miss Australia”

She’s the queen of controversy who will forever go down in history for crediting her “award-winning vagina” for taking out the GQ Woman of the Year award, and Iggy Azalea isn’t done with her outspoken comments just yet.

The Mullumbimby-born rapper who is currently on our screens for Channel 7’s The X Factor is unapologetic about the fact she doesn’t identify as being Australian anymore.

“Of course I like Australia, but I don’t know why people get so offended as it’s not my home,” she tells GQ in a candid new interview. “I don’t miss Australia, not because there aren’t great things about it.”

Iggy moved to Miami in 2006 at the age of 16, and has previously admitted she felt like an “outsider” in Australia.

“Emigrating when you’re a kid is a defining moment of your life, where you’re about to become an adult,” she explains. “That shapes you, I doubt you really understand the feeling.”

It’s not the only scandal Iggy’s been embroiled in lately, with Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock revealing she didn’t rate the rapper when they met during the British group’s recent performance on The X Factor.

When asked on The Kyle and Jackie O Show if she saw any of the show’s judges warring with each other, Leigh-Anne revealed: “I didn't see them fighting but I don't really get as much of a good vibe off Iggy Azalea if I'm honest.”

But Iggy says she’s a product of her environment and no one will ever understand what it’s like to be in her world.

“It’s weird to be normal now, right? There are varying degrees of normality depending on your level of insanity and environment,” she tells GQ.

“I’d be classified as normal for the environment I’m in but if you threw me into regular life, I may seem insane.”
