Iggy Azalea is doubling down on some recent comments she made on social media. The Sydney, Australian rap star had a bleak outlook on her upcoming album. She talked about this after hearing rumors that she was getting "bullied" out of making music. "I've always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life. For a long time I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world."
Azalea continued, "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! In fact, I'm too stubborn." However, things took a turn when Iggy said this. "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."
