"Really good things take time to grow. Foundation is not built overnight."
~ Iggy Azalea
Australian rapper, singer-songwriter, Iggy Azalea is known for her singles such as "Problem", "Black Widow", "Fancy", "Pretty Girls", "Kream", etc.
You must have already noticed that Iggy Azalea is tall. She practically dwarves someone like Ariana Grande -- but then Ms. Grande is not exactly known for her grand stature -- she is fun-sized.
Anyway, Ms. Azalea has claimed to be 5-feet-10 inches tall many times on Twitter.
She is very close to her claim as well (that's not the case with celebrities most often) -- no doubt about it, but after seeing her next to a few interesting people such as Jimmy Kimmel (5'11¼"), Karlie Kloss (6'2"), etc, we think Ms. Azalea looks a bit shorter than her claim at times.
The height of Iggy Azalea is
5'9½" or 176 cm
