Guess who? She’s the Australian musician known for her catchy lyrics – but would you recognise her in this childhood photo?


She’s spawned chart-topping hits that have taken the US by storm. 

But Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, 31, looked very different during her days as a fresh faced youngster growing up in Mullumbimby, New South Wales.  

Posting to Instagram on Saturday, the lyrical superstar – real name Amethyst Kelly –  thrilled fans by opening up her childhood photo album. 

Guess who? She’s the rapper known for her catchy lyrics – but would you recognise her in this childhood snapshot? 

One photo showed a young Iggy posing in a printed pink top holding a nineties telephone to her ear.  

Another showed the blonde tot being cradled by her lookalike mother.

Elsewhere, one photo showed Iggy standing next to Fremont Street dancers in Las Vegas in the early 90s.

It comes after Iggy took to the stage in Las Vegas where she energetically danced for her clamouring fans and showed off her impressive vocal skills earlier this month. 

She performed on stage at the LIGHT Nightclub at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.  

Iggy was spotted leaving celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi with Lakers star Malik Monk on Monday night in Los Angeles.

She hid her incredible figure in an all-black ensemble as she enjoyed a Valentine’s Day double date with Anthony Davis and his wife Marlen at the trendy Santa Monica Italian restaurant.

Malik, who was traded to the Lakers last year after a three-year stint with the Charlotte Hornets, rocked a black long-sleeve and khaki slacks.   

Iggy endured a bitter split with ex Playboi Carti more than a year ago and has remained committed to raising their one-year-old son Onyx.

The relationship was marred with controversy, including accusations he cheated on her and a slew of Twitter rants.

In October the Australian rapper fired off an Instagram story that signified they were over after two years of on-off dating: ‘You lost a real 1…People take loyalty for granted & that’s why I’d rather be alone. One thing I’ll never understand is how liars live with themselves. That s**t don’t eat y’all up inside?,’ she wrote.   

She then added ‘I’m raising my son alone & I’m not in a relationship,’ but later clarified that Carti was still in Onyx’s life.

Around Christmas she ranted in now-deleted tweets that he had seemingly called of holiday plans to see their son and was instead spending time with the girl he reportedly cheated on her with.

‘Too bad you got an album out but can’t even come to Christmas with your own son. Imagine not flying out your family on Christmas but you have the girl you cheated on [me with] my entire pregnancy at your album party and magically me and my son can’t come for Christmas any more? TRASH,’ she wrote.

They seemed to call a truce days later, the Fancy singer tweeting: ‘I’ve spoken to my bd and as f***ed up as this s**t’s been…it was for the best because now s**t’s aired out & gonna change for the better w my son. That’s all I wanted.’
