Rapper Iggy Azalea has taken her share of potshots since making a name for herself on the hip-hop scene with her 2014 debut, "The New Classic." But it wasn't until this weekend that "Saturday Night Live" mocked the Aussie by way of an "Iggy Azalea Show" sketch featuring Kate McKinnon as Azalea, Jay Pharoah as Atlanta rapper T.I., who served as Azalea's mentor when she lived in Atlanta, and Sasheer Zamata as rapper Azealia Banks, with whom Iggy is currently feuding. "SNL" host Chris Hemsworth also made an appearance as Azalea's cousin Rafti.

Azalea last played Atlanta in September 2014 at Music Midtown and will headline Atlanta's Philips Arena in May.

Check out the sketch here and let us know if you think McKinnon does a good Iggy:
