Despite finding huge success with her 2014 album The New Classic, Iggy Azalea has received constant backlash.

Whether it was for trying to spit like a Black southern rapper, disrespecting legends like A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, or defending Tory Lanez after he shot Megan Thee Stallion, she's had a rough go of things.

Some have even said that Iggy was bullied away from her career, a rumor that she responded to in a lengthy post on X.


"I’ve always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life. For a long time I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world," she wrote on Wednesday, January 3. "I know a lot of people have this idea that I was ‘bullied away from music’ and that’s something I’ve always laughed at because I’d never be bullied out of anything! In fact, I’m too stubborn."

"That’s why I want to let you know that I’m not going to finish my album," Iggy further explained. "It’s been paused for a few months while I was giving direction for a different project & in truth I just haven’t felt the urge to go back to it."

Any reaction to her message?
