Just a few weeks ago Demi Lovato shared with the world a new song that revealed that after six years of sobriety she relapsed. Her good friend Iggy Azalea knew of her relapse but didn't know she was recording a song to confess it to her fans.

"Waking up listening to @ddlovato "sober". Im proud of you for having the guts to reveal your truth to the world again. NOT. EASY. Im here for you friend! (you know this) I pray you'll choose recovery again. All of us who love you only want to see you happy and heathy," Iggy tweeted when she first heard the track.

Just recently the "Kream" rapper chatted with Entertainment Tonight and talked more about Demi and how she feared the world would react to her truth. "I had known about it, as a close friend," Iggy said. "So I had really wanted for her to be the one to tell people that. And I worried a lot, as her friend, that something was going to leak or somebody would somehow take that and use it negatively against her, or to make her seem like she's got a secret."

She added: "It's not my business to say to my friend, 'You need to fess up.' But as a friend, you worry and you're like, 'Oh, my God, my friend, she has this thing that people can use against her and I really want her to own it.' And she did!"

Watch her discuss at the 20:30 minute mark below.
