Iggy Azalea Meets Weird Al, Parody Singer Begs to Cover Artist’s Song

Okay, NOW it's time to say that Iggy Azalea has "made it."

In the music industry, there are a few things that can really tell you an artist is blowing up. Let's see: performing to sold out crowds, gaining an incredible amount of fame and recognition along the way, and of course, getting Weird Al Yankovic to cover one of your tunes.

Check, check, and now, check!

The time has finally come to say the Australian recording artist has exploded, because she was recently approached by Weird Al backstage at KS107.5's Summer Jam in Colorado and asked by the famed parody singer if he could cover one of her oh, so popular songs.

In the video – courtesy of TMZ, naturally – Yankovic meets Azalea and asks for permission to cover a tune. In fact, he pretty much begs.

According to the gossip site, he was very cool about it, which isn't a total shocker. Yankovic has a history of being a rather laid back guy and has been candid about always asking and getting permission from other artists before he does his parody.

The comedic singer supposedly left Azalea a copy of the lyrics he plans to use for her parody. Which hit he's planning to tackle hasn't been stated as of yet but it seems pretty clear from his recent Instagram photo. Hmm, "Fancy" that.

So, what Iggy hit do you think Weird Al is aiming to parody?
