Australian rapper Iggy Azalea - real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly - is a pretty hot property in the music world right now, despite the fact that she's been referred to as the female Vanilla Ice (sounds like an insult if you ask us). If you need any proof of this, then you should check out this video she's done with Vogue, where she shows off her massive house, her expensive sports car and her own personal swimming pool. And she got all of that just for gibbering over some music! We're not jealous, honest.
In the video, the presenter asks the 24-year-old rap star 73 questions - the vast majority of which are so mind-numbingly inane that it's a wonder Iggy didn't run him over in her lush white Ferrari. However, amid the queries about fantasy animals and Twitter hashtags, there is one question that is worth taking note of - around the 3 minute mark, Iggy is asked what item she'd take with her should she ever find herself in the position of packing for a one-way trip to Mars.
She replies that she'd maybe take a "handheld Nintendo" to "keep her busy". Sadly, she stopped short of clarifying exactly which "handheld Nintendo" that might be - our money is on a super-rare dual-screen Game & Watch or a limited edition Game Boy Light. We imagine that's how Iggy would roll.
But the real burning question - which didn't get asked, we should point out - surely relates to her name. With her apparent preference for Nintendo consoles, surely her stage moniker is taken from Koopaling character Iggy, who stars in the Super Mario series? Sadly not. Her childhood dog was called Iggy. Boo.
Thanks to Eiffel65 for the tip!

Amethyst? cough
cough handheld Nintendo cough
Cough rap star
What an AMAZING ARTIST!
Cough Laryngitis cough.
I really should brush up on my knowledge of this so called "music industry". I have absolutely no idea of whom this "rap star" is.
She's obviously Iggy the koopaling, but she doesn't want to admit it.
Allergy season must be getting to the comment section me thinks....
It should say if you ask us not if you as us.
Cough "COUGH" Cough
Music depresses me these days...
Today's music is so terrible. How can you get famous by singing a song called "I'm so Fancy"?
But you already know.
@PokemonJustin Smooth!
I wonder if she will take the fake 'urban cadence' she raps with as well?
I love how all these unknown Australians go to the United States and out-American the Americans.
Its revenge for all those American shows we sat through growing up.
Where do you think Iggy learned all her extravagant flossing and blinging from.
One thing looks wrong though. Those fine tattoos on her hands will look like unreadable smudges within two years.
Everyone here is coughing! I better leave i might get sick because of it.
Iggy Pop feels left out of this conversation. LOL! Say, I think she'd be hot without the tattoos on her fingers.
she's been referred to as the female Vanilla Ice (sounds like an insult if you ask us).
cough It was meant to be.
Cover your mouths. You're getting everyone sick.
And hasn't she gotten in trouble for racist remarks?
I'm just gonna leave this here.
@DragonbornRito
Seems like everything about her on YouTube is negative. Gonna take that as a hint and avoid her.
It's a handheld NES of course, what else could she mean?
But what Iggy doesn't know is that her childhood dog actually was named after the Koopaling because her parents played the stuffing out of Mario games...
anyone remember those swarovski-encrusted DS lites? haha.
@BieberBlows
Yeah i feel ya, the world of music collapsed years ago.
I wish that racist blackface **** would go to Mars. Hopefully she forgets her oxygen tank.
@Neferupitou I can honestly tell you that it actually already happened decades ago.
Nowadays it's only snackbite music for the most part, with some good stuff popping up every now and then, but for the most part music of the current age is something that is easy to forget, maybe also because there are so many artists out there trying to make a quick buck and disappearing from the scene again within the space of 2 years or less. And of course media are WAY faster now so there's also more opportunities for exposure and sharing, across the world.
The old days, as in the 60's and 70's, that's were it's at for great quality music and the inventors/designers of almost every type of music that is played, used and/or copied nowadays.
Having said that, I've heard far worse than Iggy Azalea and her song Fancy ain't all that bad, as far as snackbite music goes...
Didn't she had breast enlargement recently... or should this be a comment for senran kagura burst series... ah well.
All this iggy stuff makes me wanna buy SMB3 from Eshop even more...
@Neferupitou
Not true. Every once in a while a band like Kongos comes around and actually makes music. Even if you don't like their sound those dudes got some talent.
She is good at what she does, that's why she is popular. Even though I don't like her music, good for her. Good choice of handheld too
Who the funk is that?
A video from Vogue about such a "rap star" on NintendoLife...

Iggy PopZalia Koopa.
The Koopa was named after Pop and I doubt Iggy Z (or whatever we're supposed to call her) was named after either of them.
While she's at it, why not take Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars (pun intended) and One Direction along with her. These "all show and no talent" pop artists really need to leave Earth. Hopeful, they just bring a week supply of everything and then, they won't survive
Hey, I got a great idea! Let's send her to the sun, instead. Like, right now.
Good to know? I guess?
@AK-1138 nah, just send her into space in a tiny Soyuz and see how far she gets.
Nice assets... Nintendo assets that is!
I don't know about Mars, but I can think of one place she can go. Racist trash.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I freaking love Iggy.
With a name like Amethyst why does she need to call herself Iggy? And at least Vanilla Ice behaved respectfully to other rappers. Bet she has a jewel-encrusted 3DS XL but only plays DS games on it.
I feel like the only reason this is on nintendo life is because you were hoping she was a koopaling ha.
nasty
Iggy Azalea's childhood dog was a Koopaling - CONFIRMED
