HIP-HOP Iggy Azalea Says Criticism of Her Has '100,000 Percent to Do With the Fact That I Have a Vagina'

Iggy Azalea has seen a fair amount of criticism directed her way this month, following remarks (and a resulting back-and-forth) with Azealia Banks, among others, about cultural appropriation.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Azalea discusses her place in culture right now. Responding to a question of if it's "weird" for a white Australian woman to be a rapper, Azalea responded, "Well, I never thought it was strange. If you go back to the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley and Eminem -- they've all basically done black music. I felt this wasn't that far from what we've seen in music history over and over again."

Furthermore, when interviewer Lisa Robinson asked if the criticism was misogynistic, she replied, "Well, they don't say that stuff about Macklemore. So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina."

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Azalea talks about the success of "Fancy," sex-tape rumors and Steve Madden shoes.
