• Rap star Iggy Azalea is the latest to be featured on Disgustingly Healthy.
• The "Fancy" rapper faces a difficult questions—leak the release date of her boyfriend, Playboi Carti's, new album, or eat termites?
• Find out below what choice she ends up making.


“I literally wouldn’t care if you asked to see my butthole," Iggy Azalea says. "I would do it before I would eat this.”

The "Fancy" rapper is only halfway through Men’s Health's culinary challenge, aptly named Disgustingly Healthy. Or, as Iggy half-jokingly complains: “This isn’t 'Disgustingly Healthy'! This is disgustingly disgusting!”

Iggy's challenge today is to taste several healthy Australian-themed dishes, or be forced to answer “probably what’s going to be a terrible question.” Terrible questions stand in place for not-terrible sources of protein that are, well, highly unappetizing.

Now, before you comment on this story with a “who??” meme (c'mon, we’re sure you’ve heard her music), let’s recap Iggy Azalea. All you need to know about Iggy for the purpose of this vid is that Iggy raps, Iggy is famous, and Iggy is from Australia. You might also want to know that Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks (another definite character!) have a historically long and confusing beef that clearly has to do with the two feuding over the order of their names. You should also know that Iggy’s boyfriend Playboi Carti has an upcoming album Whole Lotta Red, which internet rumor says will never ever drop, even though it’s probably done? We think. We don’t know what’s going on with Whole Lotta Red.

Anyway, back to Iggy eating disgustingly disgusting food.

First up: Emu jerky, a relatively tame treat. But because Iggy didn’t want to “eat outback delicacies,” she was forced to turn over the first question: can you rank Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Miley Cyrus’ twerking abilities? Yes, Iggy can. “Well Miley is the skinniest, so maybe that means she’s the best twerker, because she’s lost the most weight doing it. Next!” We weren’t entirely sure how that followed, but okay. Onto the next dish!

Which was python jerky.

“I’m not eating a snake,” Iggy said.

She turned over the question: why did her album take so long? “Because I’m a procrastinator. I’m a Gemini. I can never make a decision about anything. I say things, and I take them back. It’s my personality.”

Next up was a kangaroo burger. Iggy was down for kangaroo. And she ate it.“It just tastes like red meat. I’ll pack this to go.”

Which brings us to the corned mutton, which “smells like wet dog doo,” and to which Iggy says she’d rather show us her butthole.

So she turns over the question, forcing her to rank her ex-boyfriends' benching abilities. Thankfully, Iggy has an escape: “Half of these people aren’t even my ex. I’ve never dated any of these guys,” Iggy says. Well played.

Onto the Vegemite toast with tarantulas. “Vegemite is fine,” says Iggy. She turns over the question, which is not fine: Would you rather write a song with Azealia Banks or go on a date with Nick Young (Iggy’s real ex) at Outback?

“Suddenly this toast isn’t looking so bad.”

Iggy flicks off some legs, leaving the thorax. “This looks like it’s just a raisin.” “It’s just a raisin!” Iggy rebel yells before downing the toast and spider. “Mm, it has this metallic aftertaste. It’s like I ate a Vegemite sandwich and then licked a metal pole.”

Iggy’s final challenge: Termite fairy bread.

“I love fairy bread. I haven’t had it in a long time. But it looks like this fairy bread has something evil on it,” Iggy notices. That something evil is termites. Question: When is Whole Lotta Red dropping?

Iggy: “I can’t tell you that.” Pauses. “What do termites do? Eat wood? ….”
