Iggy Azalea is opening up about her personal insecurities.

In a new interview with Today Australia, the 25-year-old "Black Widow" rapper was asked how she always seems so confident on stage.

"I don't know. Some days I just think I want to crawl into a cave because I don't feel confident at all, and then other days I feel great," the Aussie pop star admitted. "I think it's like that for all human beings, not just young women. I think feeling confident or 100 percent every day is something to aspire to, but I don't know if it's humanly possible for anybody. And I think it's just having that honest moment with yourself and other people and almost admitting and embracing your flaws or the things that you sometimes feel bad about can empower your own self."

Iggy recently stripped down to pose for iconic Australian swimsuit brand Bonds.

"I love doing the Bonds shoots. I think they're just cheeky and fun and sporty and to me that feels powerful," she said of the skimpy spread.

Iggy's body image confessions come at the same time she opened up to fans about her plastic surgery (she had a boob job earlier this year). "I've openly spoken about cosmetic surgery but 90% of the s--t people say I've done, I haven't," she told fans via Twitter.

"Cosmetic surgery can be great, happy with mine," she added. "What's wrong is ppl body shamming others. Just live your life! :-)"
