Iggy Azalea. The approach individuals are speaking about her, you’ll assume she was Jay-Z. HA!

An web fan innocently requested if she had signed a brand new file deal, the “Fancy” hitmaker stated one thing that dashed the hopes of tens of millions.

“F**k no,” she wrote underneath a selfie on Instagram. Damn, sis. There is a factor known as independence and love of the tradition which will immediate any individual to do music.

“But I did consider signing, for weeks. I’m very sure I don’t want to come back to the music industry.” The Australian-born rapper makes it looks as if she closed the Hip-Hop chapter, however I believe she did what most do: mess around and break tf out. She bought what she needed and, to me, that as fame and cash. Why do all this rapping when you are able to do OF? She couldn’t flip one other web page. Rap is difficult. OF is straightforward.

Azalea has been distancing herself from full-blown releases for years. Her 2021 album, which I don’t recall, says all of it – The End of an Era. It was a closing bow, however I assume some individuals had been holding their breaths.

Maybe it’s time to recollect that Iggy did have hits with 2014’s The New Classic and her No. 1 smash “Fancy.” She stays as one of the crucial commercially profitable Australian rappers ever.

But her story from an business perspective is a bit totally different.

Earlier this 12 months, Azalea went nuclear on X, claiming Universal music Group owed her “millions of dollars in back pay” from abroad royalties. She stated the quantity lived someplace within the “eight-figure range” and insisted the company “technically stole” cash throughout her early profession. UMG stayed quiet, however Azalea didn’t. She has continued dragging these receipts into broader conversations about artist rights and royalty transparency.

On ABC News, she opened up concerning the psychological stress cooker that outlined her rise. She talked about being labeled an “industry plant” and known as the rap sport a “battlefield.” She didn’t sugarcoat a factor. “I was stepping on landmines left and right, and I just couldn’t survive it. It’s not survivable,” she stated.

She did acknowledge her personal missteps, so possibly I ought to give her some slack. “There are some things I walked into and deserve, or things I could have done better. But I can’t sit here all day long feeling sorry about that. It’s just part of life.”

Iggy Azalea is out of the music business, and in line with her, she’s not wanting again in any respect. She is 35. I believe she could rethink given the proper deal.

Lemme play my fave Iggy jam.
