Iggy Azalea Quitting Music?! Says She's Not Finishing Her Album!

Iggy Azalea appears to be going in a whole new direction with her career.

It has been almost three years since the 33-year-old rapper released her third album, The End of an Era. And what an apt title for the project, because Iggy seems to be closing the chapter on her music era! While fans have been eagerly waiting for an update on her new music, the Black Widow artist had some bad news to give them on Wednesday. She took to X (Twitter) with a lengthy message for her followers. In it, she revealed she had a new album in the works. However, she no longer plans to finish it!! In fact, it sounds like she is quitting music entirely! Iggy wrote:

“This is gonna be long…. so only bother reading if you love me. (If you still bother anyway you’re a weirdo who has been warned.) I’ve always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life. For a long time I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world. I know a lot of people have this idea that I was ‘bullied away from music’ and that’s something I’ve always laughed at because I’d never be bullied out of anything! In fact, I’m too stubborn.”

Lately, though, Iggy has come to realize she has grown more passionate about other creative lanes than music in recent years:

“I think I’ve even resisted changes within myself at times, purely because I don’t like being viewed as someone who quits. In truth what I’ve known for a long time is that I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about song writing. To many of you that’s no shock to read. It shows in my work. Haha! Jokes aside, i do spend a lot more time on that part of things… because Im most confident at that.”

The OnlyFans creator continued:

“That’s why I want to let you know that I’m not going to finish my album. It’s been paused for a few months while I was giving direction for a different project & in truth 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 minds focused on that and so I want to stick to what’s undeniably best for me.”

While Iggy knows fans will be disappointed, she ultimately felt she had to do what is best for her at the end of the day:

“Cant wait to start sharing some of the things I’ve been involved in creating & hoping you’ll see my quirk & humor in anything I touch! I know for some fans this probably makes you feel a little deflated — I’m sorry to let you down. But, it’s more important I don’t let myself down. I hope youll understand. Talk soon! I Love you.”

There is nothing wrong with finding new passions in life and going through a career change! And luckily for fans, Iggy already has projects in the works! In the comments, the Fancy rapper confirmed she is in the process of creating a coffee table book. However, she noted that “it’s just taking longer because I spent all that unexpected time sick and need to compile a bit more before it’s completed.” See the post (below):

This is gonna be long….
