Oh Iggy Azalea, how quickly the not-quite-mighty have fallen. Just a year ago, Iggy Iggs, as she likes to refer to herself in pop jams, was on her way up in the music world. Her album, The New Classic, did well and had a couple of hits, including the insanely popular song, “Fancy.” She was featured on hits by Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lopez, and the world seemed to be her oyster (I’ve never understood that phrase, but Imma use it).
Then, over the last few months, shit started to go downhill. Rumors began to swirl that Iggy was hella difficult to work with. Like borderline Mariah Carey difficult (bitch, you are NOT Mariah Carey). Then she got a bunch of plastic surgery that made her look like a mixture of a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills and an Asian sex doll. THEN she canceled her “Great Escape” tour. THEN, she did the dumbest thing she could possibly do: she threw shade at the forever princess of pop (and queen of our hearts) Britney Spears.
Iggy and Britney were supposed to be buds. They did a song together, “Pretty Girls”, that should’ve been a summer jam, but apparently I’m the only person listening to it. Once the song and video officially flopped, Iggy took to Twitter to give her two cents on why that shit didn’t work:
It’s difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately I’m just featured.
She then said SHE would’ve been willing to do more live performances, implying it was the great Britney Spears’ fault the song only reached #29 on the Billboard charts.
I don’t know shit about the music industry, but is it really THAT difficult to make a successful jam without promoting it out the ass? I mean, Beyoncé and Drake both dropped mega successful albums with no heads up whatsoever. Not that Iggy is Beyoncé and Drake level, but in my heart of hearts I believe Britney is (but that could be the lack of caffeine talking).
Not long after her little tirade against Britney, Iggy got kicked out of an LGBTQ Pride Parade. Allegedly it was because she said some offensive shit, but I think it was because either a) the gays threw her an IDFWY after dissing the great Britney, or b) when Iggy showed up they didn’t recognize that bitch anymore.
But while Iggy is burning all the bridges she can, Britney threw her back the most beautifully subtle piece of shade via Twitter, taking a subtle jab at Iggy’s canceled tour. Britney tweeted:
‘Can’t wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to.. #YouWantAPieceOfMe
Don’t fuck with a queen, Iggy. Just go back to your dumb ass fights with Azalea Banks. You’ll be better off.

She DOES look like a character from “white girls”. Horrible,HORRIBLE movie. Just awful. An insult to human intelligence. The Wayans’ brothers ought to be forced to tour the world,so everyone who saw the movie can take turns at hitting them with a stick. HARD. Anyhow,what was this about? Oh yeah,who cares..Drake,Beyonce,Britney…music for people who don’t like music.

She threw all that shade at Bertney, meanwhile she didn’t even bother to listen to Demi Lovato’s song before she did her guest verse. She said she was happy about where Lovato’s music was headed, by which she obviously meant “featuring my favorite artist, me”.
She’s washed up at 25. The reason she cancelled her tour is that no one would work with her. She couldn’t find two opening acts “who fit”. Imagine how bad you have to be when all these people at Def Jam/EMI Virgin can’t even be ordered to partner up with her. She couldn’t find 2 acts, up and coming performers… hungry people… willing to go on the road with her show.
She’s trying to play it off. Azaela said she had a “creative change of heart” and she wants to “start totally anew”. She said “The only reason why at this point I would stay and do this tour is to save face publicly, or to not endure publicly what people will say if I cancel it…” not a moment’s thought for her fans, the people who paid for her shiny new life and supported her for the two years that she feels she’s been working non-stop, working so hard she needs a break, she needs to reinvent herself.
Maybe with all this free time she can figure out who stole her face.
