Regrets, she's had a few: Iggy Azalea told the new issue of Elle Canada that she wishes she could 'memory-erase 2015'
Iggy cited her row with Azealia Banks as 'what really started it all'. The feud began in December 2014 when Azealia accused her fellow rapper of not caring about 'black issues'.
However Fancy hit-maker Iggy insisted that she was dismissing the 24-year-old for 'personal' reasons - and that she does support the Black Lives Matter movement.
'We don’t like each other on a personal level, and that has gone on for many years—before the Black Lives Matter incident happened,' Iggy told Elle Canada.
'So when I dismissed her, people started to think that I dismissed the whole movement, but I wasn’t trying to dismiss Black Lives Matter—I was trying to dismiss her because it’s our personal s***.

Her side of the story: Iggy explained her row with Azealia Banks, insisting that she does support the Black Lives Matter movement
She added: 'I don’t think the subject matter of her tweet was invalid; I just think it was emotionally charged and driven by something else, and the whole thing got so misconstrued.
'I just wish I had acknowledged the issue head-on because it made people think I don’t care about what’s going on socially and what’s happening in America, and I do care.'
Iggy concluded by saying that despite her regrets about how the feud played out, that doesn't change her feelings towards Azealia.
'Even though I still hate Azealia Banks, I wish I had said it in a way that didn’t make people think I was oblivious to the movement,' she said.

Defending her decision to go under the knife: Iggy thinks we should be more accepting of people wanting plastic surgery
The row began when Azealia called Iggy out for not weighing in on the decision not to indict NYPD officer Daniel Paantaleo for the chokehold death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man.
'It's funny to see people Like Igloo Australia silent when these things happen... Black Culture is cool, but black issues sure aren't huh?' Azealia tweeted.
Iggy, born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, responded with a lengthy Twitter rant, accusing Azealia of 'bullying others' and branding her 'poisonous'.
'It's tough': The Fancy hit-maker also said she tries to avoid reading negative online comments about herself
The Australian additionally admitted to Elle Canada that she wishes she 'hadn’t gotten into a fight with Papa John’s'.
Iggy slammed the pizza chain on Twitter after a delivery guy handed out her phone number, and rejected an apology offered to her by the company.
The star also used the interview to defend her decision to go under the knife, saying that she believes people should be more receptive of plastic surgery in this day and age.

'I think, in 2016, people should be more accepting of the fact that both famous and non-famous women are having cosmetic procedures,' she said. 'That’s just the reality. And I think more people need to admit that s*** so it doesn’t have to be so taboo—because we’re all doing it anyway.
'I wanted to change my nose because I didn’t grow up with a bump on it—that happened when I got smashed in the face with a soccer ball when I was 16. Now I feel like my nose looks the way it’s supposed to look.'
She added: 'But for how long do we have to acknowledge that I got a nose job? For the rest of my life? Am I going to be 45 and people are still saying "Nice nose job"?'
Meanwhile, Iggy admitted that she no longer looks at online comments anymore, because the negativity can be so 'tough'.
'Well, I say that, but I’m only human,' she said after revealing she won't read comments. 'I love talking to fans, but then you end up in some random comment section and accidentally find things that can really affect you—whether you realize it or not at the time. It’s tough.'
As well as her candid interview, Iggy posed for a racy photo shoot for the magazine, in which she stripped down to a black off-the-shoulder leotard and dark lipstick for one shot, and a strapless top and split-to-the-thigh skirt for another.
On the cover, the rapper can be seen smouldering at the camera as she pulls open her blue low-cut shirt, flashing some cleavage in the process.
The April issue of Elle Canada hits newsstands on March 4.
