Skeme Hints That He Ghostwrote Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’

Skeme hints that he ghostwrote Iggy Azalea's 2014 hit single, "Fancy."

The 26-year-old rhyme slinger was the latest guest on Sirius XM's Sway in the Morning, where he addressed the rumors of him penning the Australian rapper's rhymes. Before getting into any specifics, Sway first asks Skeme if he ghostwrites for artists in general. The Inglewood rapper admitted to having written Grammy-nominated songs, but evaded the question when Sway asked which ones. He disclosed that he gets writer's publishing share of songs he helped create. As for actual Grammys, Skeme hasn't won any but has "a certificate and a nice ass suit and like four or five plaques," he said, trying to keep it vague.

After much prodding, Sway gets the Inglewood native to basically admit to ghostwriting "Fancy." "We had something to do with it," said Skeme. "We put trust funds up for that song."

This isn't the first time the rumor mill has suggested that Iggy Azalea doesn't write her rhymes. Last summer, T.I. was accused of helping Iggy with her songs, but later denied those claims. Nicki Minaj threw shade at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards saying, "What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is, that when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it."

The West Coast upstart last project was his 2013′s Ingleworld project. He recently released “Red Carpet (Roll Out)” last month. Hopefully fans will get a new project from Skeme this year.
