Iggy Azalea has expressed her relief over not winning the Best Rap Album accolade at last month’s Grammy Awards.

The Fancy rapper lost out to Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 in the category, with Azalea now stating she actually didn’t want to take home the gong.

"People already hate me enough. I do not need to be hated any more."

She went on to address Eminem’s victory, stating: "I found it to be kind of ironic.

“It was because I'm white, therefore I'm appropriating culture, but then Eminem won it - who's white and won it many times - and they didn't seem to say anything about that. I suspect it was just because they dislike me.”

In November last year, Iggy famously clashed with Em on Twitter after included a rape lyric about her in song Vegas.
