Iggy Azalea has enlisted Drag Race superstars for her new music video.

The Australian rapper has been quietly working on new music since announcing that she was going independent, and now she’s ready to unleash the fruits of her labour with a single called Sally Walker, due out on Friday 15 March.

As if we weren’t already excited enough for the new track, which she’s been teasing for a while now, Iggy recently took to social media to share a photo of Drag Race contestants Vanessa ‘Vanjie’ Mateo and Mayhem Miller in funeral attire.

“They ain’t ready,” teased Mayhem, and when a fan asked why Vanjie was in the video, Iggy mysteriously replied: “I guess she knew miss sally walker.”

Not gagging yet? Well, Iggy later revealed that season nine contestant Shea Couleé will also be appearing in the video, sharing a photo of them wearing matching wigs and sickening outfits.

“I had SO MUCH fun working with Iggy and her team on this DOPE video directed by the super talented Colin Tilley,” Shea said.

Iggy has made no secret of her love for both drag queens and RuPaul’s Drag Race, tweeting back in January: “I have so much respect & love for drag queens. They make me feel like such a boring bitch.

“The amount of sheer personality alone put into the looks & performances really is something we could all take notes on.”

Meanwhile, it’s also been confirmed that makeup artist James Charles handled the rapper’s makeup for the video.

Sally Walker is out this Friday, while Iggy’s new album In My Defence is due out in the spring.
