AceShowbiz - Iggy Azalea opens up on the lowest point of her life during career trouble. The rapper says in an interview with Power 106 Los Angeles that she considered suicide after getting a lot of hate and coming under attack by fellow stars like Azealia Banks and Erykah Badu.
"That's a lot for somebody to deal with," she explains. "For somebody to come when I didn't really feel like I did anything to be deserving of that much hate, to be like, okay, well now we're taking everything from you, what you do, your friends, everything could be totally gone, that's a lot."
"It can make a person feel like, well what do I have left to live for?" she adds. "It's my whole life. This is what I do. I've been rapping since I was 14, and this is all that I know. It's what my gift is, whether you think I'm talented or not. I don't know any other job and I'm not interested in any other job."
"Sometimes I would drive through the canyons to get to my horses and I would be like, 'What if I just kept driving off the canyon?' Sometimes I would feel like that," the Australian female rapper also says. "There were times when I just wanted to quit life, the whole thing, really."
