Iggy Azalea (born: Amethyst Amelia Kelly June 7, 1990) is an Australian hip hop recording artist signed to Island Def Jam and Mercury. Here are some of her tweets in response to the Britney backlash.Island, Def Jam, Mercury, Grand Hustle, Bad Dreams, Empire, Virgin EMI But you need content to compete in 2015.”Īfter facing fallout from those who took her comments as a diss aimed at Spears, Azalea ramped up the drama. “I would have enjoyed performing it a lot, I think it got off to a powerful start. "It’s difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and TV performances,” the Australian rapper wrote during a Twitter Q&A. As we know all too well, however, that's not really how she handles things.Īzalea's original comment about working with Spears was passive-aggressive, but fairly mild. Azalea need only have clarified her tweets or tried putting a positive spin on them to defuse the situation.


Fans of the rapper's collaborator on the song, Britney Spears, took the statements as a dig. Iggy Azalea totally could have gotten away with her remarks last weekend about a lack of promotion being to blame for the inability of her single "Pretty Girls" to storm the charts.
