She's a determined character to say the least so it was no wonder rapper Iggy Azalea insisted on training - in slip-ons - despite having lost a toenail playing soccer.

The Australian sensation, 24, was adamant the show should go on as she slipped on a pair of blue and white 'slides'  to train at the gym ahead of meeting her NBA player beau Nick Young on Saturday.

Limping around in manicured bare feet, the songstress showcased a svelte physique in Lycra, not to mention a pert derriere, as she turned up with friends to watch the Lakers basketball player train at Long Beach, Los Angeles.

The Bounce singer, who is currently topping the US charts with Fancy for a fifth week, wore no socks with plastic slider sandals and appeared to wince as she hobbled around with a pal.

She managed to lose one of her toe nails when she became overly-excited during a game of soccer last week.

But ever the professional, the chart topping singer made the best of the situation using it as a chance to still work out while rocking some tight Lycra sportswear.

Wearing a Nike vest top with matching with matching leggings, she displayed a perfectly toned and curvy figure.

She added a dash of colour to her outfit with a pair of eye-catching Carrera by Safilo sunglasses.

Explaining her injury, Iggy recently tweeted: 'After playing soccer yesterday I have 10 toes & 9 toe nails.'

She added: 'Sporty spice is on all my fashion mood boards while it's healing. Haha.'

'Don't mind the influx of sneakers I'm about to have to endure while I wait for my foot to get better,' she added.

Iggy and her professional basketballer beau have been going from strength-to-strength since they began dating in November 2013.

In late 2011, she dated American rapper ASAP Rocky, whom she met through American record producer Chase N. Cashe.

It was around this time that she got the title of Rocky's breakout mixtape Live. Love. A$AP, tattooed on her fingers.

In July 2012, Rocky stated they were no longer dating and a year later Azalea revealed she had erased the A$AP' part of the tattoo.

Azalea and Young are hugely affectionate in public and were featured in the March 2014 issue of GQ magazine.

In it, Iggy said: 'I always joke with him, "I hope we don't break up, because you'd ruin basketball for me.'

But it seems the 29-year-old has no intention of looking elsewhere.

Revealing his attraction to the singer, he said: 'Because of the way she dresses and her, uh, figure. It's hard to top that, ya know?'

The pair first began a flirtation via Twitter in September, with the athlete dubbing the pretty blonde his WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday).

Now he says he can't envisage life without her.
