Where does the “Iggy Azalea Rapping Nonsense” meme come from?
The original video comes from the radio show Sway in the Morning, hosted by Sway Calloway. In 2013, the rapper was invited to improvise a cappella. She performed excerpts from her songs, including D.R.U.G.S., without musical accompaniment. Although the lyrics were real, their fast and unclear articulation was perceived as gibberish by the public. The exact recording date is unknown, but the YouTube upload occurred on June 18, 2013. Real virality began in December 2014 when Vine reposted the clip with a sarcastic caption. By March-April 2015, press and social networks amplified the phenomenon via comedic remixes and edits.
