Iggy Azalea autographs $20 bill for homeless man while pumping petrol in Westwood

Iggy Azalea autographs $20 bill for homeless man while pumping petrol in Westwood, Iggy Azalea was in a charitable mood while pumping petrol at a Westwood gas station on Friday.

The 24-year-old rapper was approached by an indigent gentleman as photographers and young fans - likely UCLA students - watched on.

Amused and touched by his particular plight, the fresh-faced Australian proved a surprisingly captive audience.Iggy - born Amethyst Kelly - took a $20 bill from her wallet and autographed it on the back of her needy new friend.
The homeless man then flashed a jagged grin, and proudly posed with his one-of-a-kind prize.

The hip-hop starlet's meteoric rise in the industry has been called out by rappers like Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, and Q-Tip who say she's culturally appropriating black culture.

Azalea spent 20 minutes posing with several lurking students and passersby while clad in a striped jumper and artfully-distressed jeans.

The Fancy star - covering her hair extensions with a hipster hat - then hopped behind the wheel of her white Ferrari convertible.

Earlier, she was interviewed by Vogue's Lynn Yaeger, likely about her shoe collection with Steve Madden which drops next month.

This week, MailOnline exclusively unearthed shots of her boyfriend of a year Nick Young escorting two women to a house after clubbing at Hooray Henry's on January 9.

The 28-year-old NBA star could be seen wrapping his arms around one of the LBD-clad ladies beside the very car Azalea bought him.

Iggy gave the 6ft7in basketballer - nicknamed Swaggy P - the blue 1962 Chevrolet Impala for Christmas, and he gave her a diamond-encrusted heart locket.

While Azalea confessed to GQ a year ago: 'I always joke with him, "I hope we don't break up, because you'd ruin basketball for me." I really hope he doesn't ruin basketball for me.'
Things are a bit more complicated since the Los Angeles native has a two-year-old son Nick Jr. with his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green.
Meanwhile, Iggy scored an impressive four nominations at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards airing February 8 on CBS.

The blonde bombshell is up for best new artist and her album The New Classic is up for best rap album.
Her hit song Fancy featuring Charli XCX also scored nods for record of the year and best pop duo/group performance.

Azalea will kick off her 24-date Great Escape Tour with opening act Nick Jonas on April 14 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno.
