Iggy Azalea beats Eminem in TWO AMA categories and graciously mentions him in her acceptance speech after his controversial rape rap



He threatens to drag her by his Humvee and rape her in his new song, Vegas.
But Iggy Azalea nevertheless had the grace to mention Eminem when she swept up gongs for both Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Album at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Beating off competition from the Eight Mile rapper and Drake to take out the awards, Iggy said: 'It just means so much that I can stand here against Eminem and Drake and come out with this, it's amazing,' as she accepted the title for Favourite Album.

The Australian-born hitmaker got emotional during her speech and with a quiver in her voice continued: 'It means so much to me that it is for Best Hip Hop because that's what inspired me to move to America and pursue my dreams.
'It's what helped me when I was a teenager to escape and get through my life and to better times.' 
The blonde also thanked T.I., who appeared on stage with her, for 'believing in me' as well as her faithful fans.

Despite winning a string accolades at the MTV Video Music Awards, Europe Music Awards, Billboard Mid-Year Awards and Teen Choice Awards, Iggy didn't appear to recall the honours when she stepped on stage.
Revealing a very strong American accent, the 15-time award winner bizarrely announced: 'This award is the first award I have ever won in my entire life.'
Just days ago, Iggy responded to Eminem's violent and misogynistic lyrics on Twitter, writing on Thursday: 'I'm bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much more interested in the young women getting $ trend. zzzz.
'It's especially awkward because my 14-year-old brother is the biggest Eminem fan and now the artist he admired says he wants to rape me. nice!'

Despite speculation Iggy would shock in a racy outfit for her and Jennifer Lopez' performance of Booty, the beauty covered up her famous curves when she accepted her award.
Coming over all demure in a very androgynous look, the singer stepped out in a black trouser suit complete with a conservative blouse buttoned up to her neck.
She swept her long blonde locks into a high pony tail with a severe side part and styled the lengths into tight curls.
Completing her outfit with a pair of towering gold stilettos, she sported a flawless beauty look with a flick of her signature black eye liner.

What was more surprising than Iggy's conservative get-up however, was her strong American accent that was carried through to her performance minutes later.
Returning to the stage, she performed a mash up of her hits Fancy and Beg For It accompanied by Charli XCX.
Dressed in a leather jacket and matching pair of wide leg trousers, she belt out the lyrics to her debut track. 
In a quick costume change, she swapped to her latest track and a skintight leotard worn over leggings. 
The Black Widow hitmaker was without her basketballer beau Nick Young on the night, despite the LA Laker's player getting a fresh haircut - seemingly in preparation for the event - earlier that day.
'#LetMeGetThatSwaggy,' he wrote alongside a photo he posted of his new do.

The curvaceous blonde closed the show with her and Jennifer Lopez' hit Booty. 
Finishing the night off with a bang, the racy performance featured no shortage of provocative moves and skimpy booty-bearing leotard.
The show's host network ABC reportedly set a number of ground rules for what is acceptable when the ladies take to the stage, reported TMZ.
It included 'no rubbing' on each other or exposed 'cracks'. 'Spanking' however, was permissible.
The rules didn't appear to have had any affect on the dancing duo and they pressed their backsides together on a number of occasions throughout the set.
Iggy denied the duo have been asked to make any changes to their act last week, and wrote on Twitter: 'I'm not sure if the "executives" are "worried" about me and jlos performance. lol. i haven't even been to a rehearsal for it yet so…. 0.0
'We haven't been asked to make any changes and there are no plans to expose anyone's nipples or vaginas… but.. okay tmz if you say sooooo
'With that being said, we aren't performing in turtleneck sweaters either…. hahahahaha ;-)' 
Iggy was just one of the Australians representing the land from Down Under as boyband 5 Seconds Of Summer were also in attendance and won New Artist Of The Year.
The booty shaking beauty was nominated for a total of six categories on the night including Artist Of The Year, where she faced stiff competition from the likes of Beyonce, Katy Perry and Lorde and eventually lost out to One Direction.
The Australian-born star was also nominated for New Artist Of The Year, Single Of The Year for her hit Fancy and Favourite Female Artist in the Pop/Rock category, with the latter two being scooped up by Katy Perry.
