Iggy Azalea took to Twitter today (December 10), to address those who have doubted her. She reflects on the past year and says the best is yet to come.
“Every year people doubt me and say it will be my ‘last’ year, but as i look back i realize things only keep growing and improving for me it’s actually been an amazing last few years getting to where I’m at now,” Iggy Azalea says via a series of tweets.
She continues by saying the tough times have prepared her for success. She says that 2011 and 2012 were the hardest years for her and she hopes people can find encouragement from her.
“2014 was all about getting things in order and now its time to really have fun with it. Anyhow i hope anyone who’s had a ‘bad’ year can look at it as a year of growth for them,” she says.
She also announces that her upcoming tour featuring Nick Jonas will be titled The Great Escape Tour.
“I like the idea of me being a kind of musical escape artist for people,” she says.
The “Fancy” rapper has received criticism from across the Hip Hop world. Snoop Dogg took a jab at her on Instagram, which ignited some beef and ended after Snoop talked with T.I., Iggy’s Grand Hustle boss.
Her status in Hip Hop has been questioned by Rah Digga, Chuck D, Tyler, The Creator, Eminem and most recently J. Cole who took a shot at the Australian rapper in “Fire Squad,” a cut off his recent 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
“While silly niggas argue over who gone snatch the crown / Look around my nigga, White people have snatched the sound / This year, I’ll probably go to the awards dappered down / Watch Iggy win the Grammy as I try to crack a smile / I’m just playing, but all good jokes contain true shit,” Cole says.
Azalea also had to deal with reports that she and her former boyfriend Jefe Wine made a sex tape.
Despite the criticism, Azalea beat out Eminem and Drake for best Rap artist and album at the American Music Awards last month.

she is not hiphop…stop the maddness…
lol tour with nick jonas
Iggy will wind up the Britney Spears of rap. She’ll have hits and win awards from mainstream institutions but she’ll never have any artistic respect. I’m sure she could care less though, she’s stacking her money up.
Quit hating on the new chick. She’s doing ok
Tired of white people fkng up every black genre.
Tired of black people complning about everything
what’s a black genre?
That’s why you don’t get a lot of comments, because you mess with people comments,so they go to better sites….g’bye
She is a rapper that does not have any grasp of white privilege. The cards didnt just fall into place. It was baked in for her to succeed. She has no clue what she is saying. She is pretending it was hard work, and get this, talent that got her here. I dont mind that people have privilege but when you do not acknowledge it its disgusting.
Exactly, people should quit hating on this chick..she’s white and so what! I’m a black, and I don’t judge people by their skin pigmentation. She’s doing fine, people should learn to accept her, she’s not a hating or jealous hoe like Onika. Onika sings starships, vava voom, and marylin monroe and yet no one criticises her hip hop roots…why the double standards? is it cos of her skin pigmentation? Fuck you hating niggas and bitches. I enjoy female rap too. Was getting tired of hearing the same hoe rapping everyday/everytime, competition was needed to motivate to put out quality songs she was getting too complacent. Iggy stepped it up, now she’s hating on Iggy. I hope that will prompt her to improve. I miss the era when we had female rap legends like kim, foxy, digga, eve,missy, etc. Femcees competition was so fierce then. I need that to come back, Iggy go on and do ya thang…fuck ’em haters.
Do you know how many hundreds and even thousands of white females have tried Rap, Pop and Country$Western and failed – You should go tell them about white privilege.
You need to tell them their color was sure success, and then go tell all those blonde girls in Hollywood working as waitresses that their white privilege is all they need for them to be movie stars.
Get’em Iggy, it’s your time
I really hope no dudes actually like this broad…..
co sign! hahahah
I like her. She’s thriving even with all the hatred. She’s a good kid not as pompous as nicki.
I’m a black dude, I like she and nicki, but nicki hates on any female rapper coming up, she’s acts way too insecure and wanna be the only female in this rap shit. Fuck her and her silicone ass and boobs
#WHITEC*NT
TI should be and jail and this Australian asswipe should be cleaning up koala shit in the Melbourne zoo.
rap “culture” is the motherfucking worst.
disgusting– sweet genital warts though!
Go Iggy, do ya thang
She’s not hip hop enough, says the haters. But nicki sings starships, vava voom, young forever maryline monroe..and you all cosign her as a hip hop mogul. That’s hypocricy
BLATANT hypocrisy. The same people shitting on Iggy are the same people awarding and applauding that slut Nicki for baring her fat ass on an album cover and calling it “art.”
this is why white bitches should be allowed in rap..all into their feelings and shit foh make a track abot it and shut up.
QUEEN OF RAP!!!!
Funny though same people saying iggy is fake is the same people jerking off to nicki’s fake ass n shit. She works hard, smart and stays devoted to the music she deserve better than all these insecure haters lol.
Is not so much the haters, it’s black folks getting in their feelings. Black folks think it their duty to tell everyone what of music to make and to stick too. Black folks are the insecure mothafukkas that be tripping on a white girl that hit the spot light. You all want to call her fake and shit nut stay listening to Nikki and Ross! all I’m saying their is room for everyone to eat. You nikkas need to keep it moving and let this chick do what she do.
but many a white folk see her as a fraud too! Didn’t the GOAT Eminem diss her not too long ago? Why hasn’t Ross, Cole, Kendrick, etc got a verse from her if she’s so “authentic”? Sorry BooBoo but Nicki used to bless them Smack DVDs before she believed her “yes men” to be the “black Lady Gaga”. Guess who the weakSauce now? YOU. Folk call out fakeness like Iggy but they also let G-Eazy & Paul Wall ride and people like you two seem to conform with whatever’s popular. You should be ashamed of yourselves displaying so much ignorance.
Your whole riddle of response makes no sense. Try again lil nikka!
She has an Australian accent but raps in a Southern US drawl.
Keeping in real….
There are so many artist that have accents and can sound way different when they sing/rap
Perfect example Selena Quintanilla, didn’t even knew a lick of English but she can damn well sing it! Keeping it real……
HOW THE FUCK IS A WHITE BITCH RUNNIN OUR RAP GAME RIGHT NOW? RIP BIG L, BIGGIE, PAC, PUN
How the fuck is a black man literate enough to become the president? RIP George Washington, etc. etc.
guess what. all the rappers you just listed with the exception of big l (because he was a nobody) was just as manufactured as iggy azalea. youre only noticing it now because they dont need the blackface anymore.
She ain’t running no rap, she ain’t got no bars, lol. Who’s reaching out to her for collabs from the HipHop Community? NO ONE. Not one soul except Clifford, because Julie’s his boss. Only jaded, impressionable little girls and pure knuckleheads think she “put in work”. This Iggy is a flash in the pan, you all will see.
You have to be a retarded cunt to listen to Ziggy or Nicki, jesus fucking christ… ya’ll have 100 years of great black music– some great white music too– and this what asswipes choose?
No doubt, she’s a racist piece of shit, doesn’t matter how much black cock she’s gaped by, it’s THE SYSTEM dipshit, which she’ll never ever understand.
At what fucking point did she ever say something racist? You’re projecting: “oh, and SOME great white music.” lol please, some? She’s a shitty rapper, that’s it. It doesn’t have to do with her being white, female, “racist,” a bitch, a slut, or anything the fuck else. She’s just a shitty rapper. No worse than Nicki.
This bitch is fake, str8 up! The only reason why she is famous is bc she slept her way to the top and has a fake ass. Tell her to make songs with out features!! So annoying.
If they want to see a city on fire again, give the Rap Album of Year Grammy to Iggy lol. Its been a terrible year for the black community. Racial discrimination and bias in every aspect of life.
What a stupid twat. What about the little 5 year old white girl killed by black men that happened last week? Got anything to say about that or doesn’t it fit your narrative? You don’t even know you are born you fuckhead!
You’d be doing that burning alone, black people aren’t as stupid about that crap as your little crap filled head want to believe.
the new classic platinum singles and grammys for days
Iggy’s music isn’t good, but it’s no worse than the music the so-called “Queen” you all worship makes. You know, the slut bearing her fat ass all over album covers and then talking about who the “real” artist is? And if you think Nicki’s got bars, off yourself. It’s just shitty that a shallow, entitled, self-important bitch gets the top spot for the horrible “hip-hop” she produces with an arrogant attitude, and then a well-spoken, worldy young woman makes the EXACT SAME horrible music with no bad attitude toward ANYONE and gets completely vilified by a racist-as-fuck hypocritical industry.
Iggy isn’t a shitty rapper because she’s white and female — she’s a shitty rapper because she’s just a shitty rapper. (Ever hear of k.flay? Go listen to “No Duh.” THAT’S what the fuck white women can do.) The only reason I don’t shit on Iggy with the rest of the world is because you don’t apply the same, deserved hate to that Nicki bitch that ruined hip-hop (for females especially).
Gotta admit, I was a fan of Mixtape Nicki. The manufactured for commercial success Nicki is garbage though.
As far as Iggy goes, the fake accent is wrong on so many levels. There is some amazing Australian hip-hop, check out Hilltop Hoods for example.
“off yourself”, is that how douchebags talk today? eugenicists are right. im just glad there’s a high probability that you are in the demographic selected for elimination via ebola (aka you are likely to be a black commenter)
music artists used to be cool. now they are literally the corniest possible phenotype: a white british/australian female. the corniest creature in the world. only followed by the british black female. who tries extra hard for that spot.
they need to make a version of ebola that only infects you if you are female. while they are so busy killing blacks with engineered virus their white women are out of control.
my petition to the white eugenic scientist: your white women are just as much of a headache as black women, if not more. so please, don’t just stop at putting sterilizing viruses into vaccines; actually use your scientific nanotechnology talent to craft a virus that will eliminate the female race wholesale. then when men can’t reproduce, we will wholeheartedly adopt your transhumanist agenda. you get what you want (transhumanism and population reduction) and i get what i want (elimination of the out of control female race that whore themselves out and can’t live up to the ideal of an angel that we place on them.)
thank you
Spoken like a real loser who can’t get no pu$$y.
they need to make a version of ebola that only infects you if you are female.
White people killed hip hop.
Fucking Devils
Iggy got this rap shit on lock
SHE AIGHT…….IF SHE GETS A GRAMMY I WILL QUIT LISTENNG TO HIP HOP
She has a career because the general public can be dangerously dumb and ignorant.
PLS stop giving this bitch limelight… shes waste. if she was blk or latina nobody would care about her. she is trash, TI is trash for supporting her.. shit even em think shes trash… TRASH. shes the most basic bitch out. shes the britney of rap.. no talent just easy to market to all these lil white girls
Would it be better if white musicians stop asking blacks to buy their music and black musicians stop asking whites to buy their music, then we would have separation so everybody would stay in their own lane.
Only blacks would make and buy rap and R&B and only whites would be allowed to make and buy Pop and Country and western. I know what you’re going to say, there are 218 million whites to only 37 million blacks but everybody would stop complaining about cultural appropriations
We need to start a campaign telling white kids that in order for us to have cultural purity we want them to stop buying or listening to our rap music.
That’s not what I was going to say, I was going to say stfu dumbass
Edible Chocolate Iggy Board Game huh?….I’d eat that white chocolate and if anyone of you niggas say you wouldn’t you a damn lie lol.
Glad Eminem called her out. She sounds horrible live
