Iggy Azalea Confirms That Jidenna’s Breakthrough Hit “Classic Man” Samples “Fancy”
Iggy Azalea returned to the public eye this weekend with a well-received headline appearance at Ottawa’s Bluesfest. She jumped on Twitter to unwind after both shows and shared a couple of interesting tidbits about her upcoming nuptials with Nick Young (she has set a date but won’t disclose it) and revealed that she’s moving away from the pop-friendly sound of The New Classic on her next LP. The Aussie femcee also confirmed that Jidenna’s breakthrough hit “Classic Man” samples “Fancy.”
“Thats true,” the 25-year-old replied to a fan’s tweet on Saturday night (July 11). “I get a % of it.” Iggy clarified the situation again last night and tweeted about the frequent use of samples in hip hop. “Classic Man” has peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 thus far and already established Jidenna as one of the breakout stars of 2015. It’s nice to see the Reclassified diva getting money even when she’s away! See her tweets below.
@SpaceJamIggy thats true, i get a % of it.
