But the singer didn't quite get the reception she was hoping for at the Los Angeles event when she was introduced to the crowd as 'Igloo Australia' in an ill thought out skit.
Igloo Australia is a derogatory moniker given to Iggy by foe Azealia Banks, who implied Iggy was racist for embracing black culture.

Moments before announcing Iggy as the winner, presenters Dax Shepard and Monica Potter, who star on NBC's Parenthood, listed off a series of rapper names in a section scripted by writers.
To prove her street cred, Potter rattled off a string of 'rappers' she loves, like Dr. Drew and 'Igloo Australia'.
However Iggy ignored the jibe as she put on a memorable performance for the star-studded crowd.

While belting out her new single Beg For It, the 24-year-old rapper provided ample sex appeal donning a body hugging white outfit that showed off every bit of her curvaceous figure.

Unexpected: Iggy beat out Jay Z, Drake, Nicki Minaj and mentor T.I. in the category
Iggy beat out Jay Z, Drake, Nicki Minaj and mentor T.I. to nab her first of many gongs to come.
'I didn't expect this so I wrote nothing, but it's not wasted on me so thank you very much,' she said, keeping her acceptance speech short and simple.
Recently, the Australian-born artist revealed to Vanity Fair that the reason she's criticized so often 'has 100,000 percent to do with the face that I have a vagina.'
She told the publication that she thinks that slack she's received from fellow musicians and artists is solely on the fact that she is a Caucasian woman in the music industry.
Adding: 'Well they don't say that stuff about Macklemore. If you go back to the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley and Eminem, they've all basically done black music.'
Iggy told presenter Dax Shepard: 'You look so much better in person'
As her popularity and fame has risen to stardom, Iggy is also dealing with her dark past with ex Hefe Wine.
She was blindsided when her 'husband' filed court documents in Texas, where the law states a man and a woman can be considered legally married if they live together in the state for any period of time and agree to tie the know.
Hefe claimed the couple had 'agreed to be married' in 2008, when Iggy venture to the States in hopes of launching her career.

In the Vanity Fair interview, Iggy addressed the rumours about the existence of a sex tape with Hefe.
'Every week I have some sort of crisis that involves the Internet,' she said. 'I do not have a sex tape; I would remember if I had a sex tape.
'But if I did have a sex tape it would be completely f****** fine and my own business.'
On Tuesday, Iggy was seen heading to the Federal Court in LA where she challenged the marriage claims made by her former flame.
