Did Iggy Azalea Commit Blackfishing? Social Media Users Believe So

Since Iggy is being accused of blackfishing, some people are wondering if she’s actually Black. But, Iggy has never come out and claimed that she has African ancestry.

In an interview with Complex, the rapper shed some light on her family background.

“My family’s been in that country for a long time, over 100 years,” Iggy told the outlet. “If your family’s lived in Australia for a long time, everyone has a little bit of [Aborigine blood]. I know my family does because we have an eye condition that only Aborigine people have.”

Aside from her ancestry, Iggy has always considered herself to be a white woman. Whether or not she does have Black ancestry, committing the act of blackfishing is something that won’t sit right with many people.

Iggy has decided to take the high road and ignore social media users, but the accusations of blackfishing will likely continue to run rampant.
