As we all know by now, the singer comes from a very humble background in Australia. Eventually, she moved to America to pursue a music career. Now that she achieved fame, she feels like she&#8217;s entitled to celebrate the success that she earned so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea-780x390.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4081\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea-780x390.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea-1200x600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/b6182d6b-started-by-iggy-azalea.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption>Iggy Azalea &#8211; Started via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=flPCk8Z5XS0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Started From the Bottom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStarted\u201d begins with the Chorus where Iggy tells us just that her success transformed her life radically.

Not only did she manage to prove them wrong, but she also managed to become a better person than them. From what we can tell, Iggy feels extremely comfortable when it comes to her looks. She suspects that most people hating on her only do it because deep down they really feel miserable for not managing to pursue their own goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Love Me or Hate Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second Verse, the singer questions her haters again while asking: <q>Do you hate that you love me, or do you love that you hate me?<\/q> Meaning that she thinks the people questioning her either secretly want to be in her position or that their life is so empty that they need someone to hate just to feel something. Either way, she doesn\u2019t care about them as long as they take the time to check out her music, and she\u2019s getting paid for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2-780x390.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4082\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2-780x390.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2-1200x600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/4054b5cf-started-by-iggy-azalea-2.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> The bottom line, the singer managed to gather so much money in her bank account that she doesn\u2019t need to make music anymore since she\u2019s able to spend $80K on a watch and live in a multi-million dollar mansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this true?
