Iggy Azalea, the Australian-born rap star, shocked fans when she announced that she is quitting music and putting an end to the album she has been working on for months. In a lengthy note to her fans, Iggy revealed that her heart is no longer in music and she is unsure if she will ever return to it.
The news came as a surprise to many, as Iggy has always been known for her creativity and passion for music. However, she admitted that she feels more passionately about design and creative direction than she does about songwriting. Iggy has always found joy in being creative and seeing her ideas come to life, but lately, she has realized that her true passion lies in other areas.
Iggy denied that she was bullied or pressured to quit music, but rather, it was a decision she made on her own. She expressed that she no longer loves expressing herself through music and that she feels more confident and fulfilled in other creative endeavors.
This announcement comes after months of stalled production on her next album project. Iggy had been working with rapper Tory Lanez in-studio throughout 2022, but their collaboration hit a roadblock when Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Iggy was not pleased with the verdict and without Lanez’s involvement, she struggled to release new music.
Throughout 2023, Iggy teased singles without actually delivering them, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new music. However, it seems that Iggy has decided to wave the white flag and move on from her music career.
While Iggy may be leaving the music industry, she assured fans that she will be just fine. She has explored other ventures in the past, including hosting, and her OnlyFans account is still active. Iggy’s creativity and talent will surely find new outlets, and fans can expect to see her thrive in other endeavors.
It is always surprising when an artist decides to quit music, especially when they have achieved success and recognition. However, it is important to remember that artists are human too, and their passions and interests can evolve over time. While it may be disappointing for fans, it is essential to support Iggy Azalea in her decision and look forward to the new creative paths she will explore in the future.
