The 25-year-old "Black Widow" hitmaker said she took an instant disliking to basketball player Nick Young, when they first met, reported The Daily Telegraph.
"(We'd met) a few years prior to that, and I didn't know and I hated him," Azalea said.
The "Two Times" singer found Young, 30, handsome and agreed to go on a date with him.
"I thought he was pretty handsome, so I went on a date with him. Then one day he got it. He was like, 'No, I remember you came to our pool party!' And I did (go) to that pool party and I wouldn't get into the swimming pool," she said.
"I hated all of them. And now I love all of them. When I figured it out, I think I was already in love with him. So it worked out! Lucky I didn't remember him, because we wouldn't have got the opportunity for a second chance," she added.
