Grammy-nominated artist Iggy Azalea has been fully embracing her time back in her native Australia, diving headfirst into the summer festivities. The 35-year-old rapper, who has spent many years living in the United States, returned to home soil for the holiday season and has been spotted enjoying several high-profile events.
Behind the Decks at a Sydney Hotspot
On Tuesday, 31 December 2025, Iggy was right in her element, taking charge behind the DJ decks at the popular Darlinghurst venue, Noir. She hosted the club's pre-New Year's Eve celebration, drawing scores of eager Sydneysiders ready to party with the star.
A video shared on X by user Nate captured the moment perfectly. The 'Fancy' hitmaker was seen beaming with joy as she danced energetically to Beyoncé's empowering anthem 'Run The World (Girls)'. For the occasion, Iggy cut a striking figure in a sleek, sleeveless white dress that highlighted her svelte frame. She accessorised her blonde look with a noticeable diamond bracelet, completing the glamorous ensemble.
A Harbour New Year's Eve Spectacle
The rapper's Australian holiday odyssey did not stop at the nightclub. On Wednesday, she was part of the iconic Sydney Harbour New Year's Eve celebrations. Iggy popped up in a live stream hosted by well-known US content creator N3ON, who was broadcasting his festivities on Twitch.
The footage showed Iggy and N3ON chatting on a boat as they patiently awaited the world-famous midnight fireworks display. Both appeared utterly captivated by the spectacular show over the harbour, marking a memorable start to the new year.
From Rap to Crypto: Iggy's New Chapter
While thoroughly enjoying her summer break, Iggy Azalea's career has taken a significant turn in recent years. The artist, who exploded onto the global charts in 2014 with her seven-week number-one hit 'Fancy', has officially retired from music. She has since embarked on a new path as a cryptocurrency entrepreneur and has notably scaled back her social media presence.
Evidence suggests her business ventures are flourishing. In August, she gave fans a glimpse of her luxurious lifestyle via Instagram, showcasing a massive yacht, cocktails, and a sizeable staff. This shift follows a successful but brief stint on the adult content platform OnlyFans in 2023, which reportedly earned her millions before she stepped away from that too in 2024.
Despite her international fame and new ventures, Iggy's recent posts reveal she remains a true local at heart. Amid photos flaunting her toned beach body in a bikini, she subtly shared a snapshot of a half-eaten iced finger bun – a classic Australian bakery treat with pink icing. This simple post confirmed that some home comforts, especially the sweet ones, are still her favourite.
