A US rapper named Skeme has claimed that he had "something to do" with the writing of Iggy Azalea's massive hit 'Fancy'.

Azalea has been plagued with ghostwriter rumours since her rise to fame. Last summer, it was rumoured that T.I. actually wrote her raps, but T.I. denied this, saying, "Iggy got her own ideas and thoughts that she presents to the world in her own way."

Now though, in a new interview with Sirius XM's Sway In The Morning, Skeme was pushed by the host to discuss his ghostwriting. He was reluctant to divulge anything at first, saying, "That's what the ghost's about. I've got a certificate and a nice ass suit and like four or five plaques."

When he was asked specifically about Iggy Azalea's Charli XCX collaboration 'Fancy' though, Skeme said, "Maybe... We had something to do with it, a lot of vibe, a lot of push. We put trust funs up for that song."

When the host pushed for more details, asking him if he wrote the song's chorus, Skeme said, "That's the part I didn't have anything to do with. That's Charli XCX, shout-out to her. She's amazing shit."

The video for 'Fancy' has been watched over 500 million times and has sold over 4 million copies in the US alone, going 5x Platinum.
