In 2015, Iggy Azalea linked up with Britney Spears for the release of "Pretty Girls." Back then, the pop icon was still under conservatorship. On her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the Aussie rapper openly revealed how she was down to work with Spears again. "My collaboration with her is always one of my favorite collaborations," the 32-year-old explained, "I feel like... I've spoken about this before but I just feel like there was so much we wanted to do with it and we never got to do what we wanted to do."
Azalea was vocal about her support for Spears prior to the termination of her 13-year conservatorship. Previously, the 41-year-old was forced to relinquish her personal and financial decision rights to her father. After fighting in court for her rights, and proving the terms of her situation as abusive, Spears gained independence in 2021. Leading up to her win, supporters flooded social media pages using the #FreeBritney movement, which Azalea contributed to on Twitter. In her post, she mentioned how she "personally witnessed" the torment that Spears was fighting against from her father, according to ET.
Iggy Azalea Reveals That Her And Britney Still Keep In Touch
Needless to say, the "Black Widow" rapper stood in support of Spears during her emotional support. Azalea reveals to Cohen that she and Spears keep in touch on Instagram, often exchanging messages. When asked to elaborate on her interest in collaborating again with the "Oops!... I Did It Again" singer, Azalea reflected on her colleague's new circumstances. "She was so limited, obviously. Now she has the ability to do it her way 100 percent," she tells Cohen. "I love Britney, and she's so much more creative than what people give her credit for."
Spears's first release after regaining her creative freedom was "Hold Me Closer" with Elton John. Azalea shared her admiration for the project, saying, "what she did with Elton was so amazing and I would love to be a part of more of anything that she had to do, especially when they're 100 percent her own ideas."
