Iggy Azalea says she joined OnlyFans after making 'a lot of people so much money off my body'

• Iggy Azalea explained her decision to join OnlyFans on an episode of Emily Ratajkowski's podcast.
• Azalea joined the platform in January, despite previously tweeting that she would never do so.

In Monday's episode of Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, "High Low," Iggy Azalea talked about why she joined OnlyFans back in January — almost two years after saying she would never sign up for the platform.

"I've made a lot of people so much money off my body, and I got the smallest cut off my own fucking body," the rapper said on the episode. "And my own work, and my own ideas."

She then talked to Ratajkowski about how she feels has been treated like a commodity in the past.

"It's been commodified and I wasn't even the main fucking benefactor of it," Azalea said, speaking of her body. "So, fuck this."

Her announcement about joining the platform might have come as a surprise to fans as Azalea once publicly said she would never sign up for the site.

In a since-deleted April 2021 tweet, the rapper said: "I think onlyfans can be really empowering for people, But I WILL NEVER, EVVVER join. I don't want to make that type of content & it only fucks up the bag for ppl on there who really bout that life. Shoutout to the baddies tho!!!!"

In January, Azalea explained why she changed her tune.

"Admittedly, I never knew OnlyFans was a place where I could be creative, so I didn't expect to be collaborating with them on my biggest project to date!" the rapper said in a statement to Variety. "Once I looked beyond the surface-level chatter about what it means to have an OnlyFans, I realized it was the perfect platform to launch a multimedia concept on."

The project she was referring to is called "Hotter Than Hell," which she said will include photos, videos, merch, and more.

Also in the podcast, the Australian rapper addressed the plastic surgery she has gotten, which is a topic she has not shied away from in the past.

"I like my body. I liked my body before. I liked my face before and I like it now. I like myself. I never didn't. I never hated myself," Azalea told Ratajkowski.
