Iggy Azalea surprised her fans with unexpected news about her music career. The 33-year-old rapper took to X to reveal a significant update, disclosing that she won’t be completing her fourth album. This announcement shook her fan base, especially after the release of her last album, “The End of an Era,” in 2021.
In her candid post, Iggy shared insights into her creative journey and the shift in her priorities. “I’ve always found my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life,” she began, emphasizing her innate connection to creativity. “For a long time, I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world.”
Addressing misconceptions, Iggy clarified, “I know a lot of people have this idea that I was ‘bullied away from music.’ In fact, I’m too stubborn. I’ve even resisted changes within myself at times, purely because I don’t like being viewed as someone who quits.”
However, Iggy expressed a deeper passion for design and creative direction over songwriting. Acknowledging her fans’ familiarity with this aspect of her career, she admitted, “Jokes aside, I do spend a lot more time on that part of things because I’m most confident at that.”
The rapper then dropped the bombshell, announcing her decision not to finish her album. Iggy confessed that the project had been on hold for months while she diverted her focus to a different creative venture. She candidly admitted, “I just haven’t felt the urge to go back to it. I feel really happy & passionate in my day-to-day life when my mind’s focused on that.”
Expressing regret to her supporters, she conveyed her love and apologized for the decision, understanding it might come as a surprise to many.
This decision echoes her previous announcement in July 2021, where she hinted at taking a break from music after her album release, expressing a desire to explore other creative projects.
Iggy’s pivot towards her passion for design and creative direction showcases her evolving interests and priorities. The unexpected turn in her music career has left fans both surprised and curious about the new projects she will immerse herself in as she continues to explore her multifaceted talents beyond music.
