Iggy Azalea Explains Her Recent Absence, Says She's "Still Healing" From Injury

Iggy Azalea says she's still healing her back after getting what was supposed to be a “mundane” surgery, last year. In a post on Instagram in honor of her birthday, Azalea explained her recent absence from social media and thanked fans for their continued support.

“[white heart emoji] Sorry I’ve been gone longer than usual…. I’m still healing my back! I’m doing everything I can to be 100% better as fast as possible so I can get back to being creative!" she wrote in the post. "I miss it! Thanks for all the birthday wishes today."

Many fans wished the Australian singer a happy birthday in the comments section of her post. One wrote: "I love you! I wish you a happy birthday my little Iggy, I admire you very much, thank you for being this hardworking human being and so amazing. Happy birthday my love." Another commented: "I love you very much, I’ve been following you for 10 years and seeing how much you have matured and become a happy person even with so many things that have happened in your life [red heart emoji].”

Azalea is currently prepping for the release of her fourth studio album, Hotter Than Hell. She confirmed that she plans to drop the project this summer, earlier this year while launching an OnlyFans page. "I've been working on Hotter Than Hell for over six months already, and I'm full of excitement and nervous anticipation to begin revealing it to the world, layer by layer," Azalea said in a statement at the time. "Admittedly, I never knew OnlyFans was a place where I could be creative, so I didn't expect to be collaborating with them on my biggest project to date!"
