Iggy Azalea Says Nicki Minaj Makes Cool Music, Talks Kendrick Lamar & T.I.

Iggy Azalea is gearing up to drop her sophomore album and so far she has released her first single “Team,” which she recently performed on The Tonight Show.

Speaking with Big Boy on L.A. radio station Real 92.3, the blonde bombshell spoke candidly about her upcoming body of work, as well as, a host of topics including Nicki Minaj, her upcoming wedding, Kendrick Lamar, T.I. and more.

“We don’t have a relationship,” Iggy said about Nicki Minaj. “I don’t know her. I walked passed her one time and said, ‘Congratulations.’ She was like, ‘Thank you. I appreciate it.’ It’s on film. You could see it….I don’t know. I think she makes cool music. Good for her. That’s it, really.”

Iggy Azalea also dispelled any rumors that she and her label head T.I. had a falling out.

“Me and T.I. are friends,” she said. “People misconstrued that when he said he was taking a step back…It’s not that. We still do business together. I’m signed to his publishing company and that’s not gonna change. I love Tip. I know I can call Tip and he’ll get whatever it is I’m asking for.”

She also revealed that her fiance Nick Young and Kendrick Lamar are first cousins which result in the two rappers getting closer over the last year.

“Kendrick’s always been supportive,” she said. “When I see him, he’s always like, ‘What’s up, cousin?’ I’m like, ‘We’re not cousins yet, but cool, I’ll take this.’ I haven’t asked him for any advice, but Kendrick and I have actually had a lot of conversations before I even was dating Nick because we used to do the festival circuits in Europe.”

Azalea also hinted that her new album is close to completion but she did not give us a release date or title. Her debut album The New Classic was hugely successful.
