Iggy Azalea. The best way individuals are speaking about her, you’d 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 thousands and thousands.

“F**okay no,” she wrote underneath a selfie on Instagram. Rattling, sis. There’s a factor referred to as independence and love of the tradition which will immediate anyone to do music.

“However I did contemplate signing, for weeks. I’m very positive I don’t need to come again to the music business.” 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 acquired 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 tough. OF is simple.

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

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

However her story from an business perspective is a bit completely different.

Earlier this 12 months, Azalea went nuclear on X, claiming Common Music Group owed her “thousands and thousands of {dollars} in again pay” from abroad royalties. She stated the quantity lived someplace within the “eight-figure vary” 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 Information, she opened up concerning the psychological strain cooker that outlined her rise. She talked about being labeled an “business plant” and referred to as the rap recreation a “battlefield.” She didn’t sugarcoat a factor. “I used to be stepping on landmines left and proper, and I simply 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 issues I walked into and deserve, or issues I might have accomplished higher. However I can’t sit right here all day lengthy feeling sorry about that. It’s simply a 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 might rethink given the fitting deal.

Lemme play my fave Iggy jam.
