AceShowbiz - Iggy Azalea fans won't get to listen to her new music in the near future. Declaring that she decided to stop finishing her fourth album, the "Fancy" hitmaker apologized to her online devotees.
The Australian native made shared the announcement via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, January 3. She kicked off her message, "This is gonna be long…. so only bother reading if you love me. (If you still bother anyway you're a weirdo who has been warned.)"
"I've always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life," the female rapper continued. "For a long time I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world."
"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," she further stated. "In fact, I'm too stubborn. I think I've even resisted changes within myself at times, purely because I don't like being viewed as someone who quits."
Noting that her interests are no longer in music, Iggy said she wants to focus in design and creative direction. "In truth what I've known for a long time is that I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about song writing," she explained.
"To many of you that's no shock to read. It shows in my work. Haha! Jokes aside, i do spend a lot more time on that part of things… because Im most confident at that."
"That's why I want to let you know that I'm not going to finish my album. 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," she elaborated. "I feel really happy & passionate in my day to day life when my minds focused on that and so I want to stick to what's undeniably best for me."
Iggy acknowledges that the news will probably make some fans "feel a little deflated," so she apologized. "I'm sorry to let you down. But, it's more important I don't let myself down. I hope youll understand," she stated. "Talk soon! I Love you."
