Hollywoods Hottest Stars Shed Their Aliases

#22. Iggy Azalea

Real Name: Amethyst Amelia Kelly

Amethyst Amelia Kelly became Iggy Azalea somewhat by accident. She explained to Vevo, "I had a dog called Iggy, who I loved very, very much." After the canine died, she said, "I got a name-plate necklace made in his honor. Everybody started to think that my name was Iggy so it kind of became my nickname, and I took it on board and started rapping with it."
