Iggy Azalea Is Happy She Earned The Respect Of Her Peers With Four Grammy Nominations

It's Grammy week and Iggy Azalea, one of the most talked about artists of the past 12 months, is up for four awards including best new artist and best rap album for The New Classic. For Iggy, the nominations are obviously an honor following a tumultuous year that saw her take heat for cultural appropriation and she expressed her gratitude for being nominated by her peers four different times.

"I didn't think they would think of me four times. I'm happy they thought of me any times," Iggy told the Associated Press. "There are so many other award shows that I appreciate winning awards for, but I think it really means something special just to be nominated by the people that you work with and are alongside every day. That's a different thing. It's a different level of respect."

As far as what Grammy she prefers to win, Iggy has no preference claiming that when people look back, they won't remember what she won for but will only remember that she has a Grammy Award on her resume.

"I don't care if I get a Grammy for best album artwork. A Grammy is a Grammy, baby," she said. "Nobody says, `Uh, what's your Grammy for? ... No, this Grammy doesn't count.' Any Grammy is equally as good. I'll take any Grammy for anything. Any Grammy you've got, send them my way. I will not complain."

The Grammys air Sunday, Feb. 8 on CBS. LL Cool J will be hosting and Common and John Legend will be performing.
