Is she done with music — or just taking a break?
A few years ago, Iggy Azalea was everywhere. With hits like “Fancy,” “Black Widow,” and “Work,” she became one of the most talked-about female rappers in the world. But lately, fans are asking:
Where is she now? Did she quit music?
Let’s take a look at what really happened.
A Quick Rise — and a Lot of Criticism
Iggy became famous very quickly in the early 2010s. Her unique style — an Australian rapper doing American Southern hip-hop — made her stand out. But it also caused a lot of controversy.
She was often criticized for:
- Cultural appropriation
- Weak live performances
- Not writing her own music
- Her social media behavior
While she had some huge hits, people in the industry and online started turning against her. The hate grew stronger, especially after 2015.
Did She Really Quit Music?
In 2021, Iggy announced on Twitter that she was going to step away from music “for a few years” after releasing her album The End of an Era. She said she wanted to focus on other creative projects — like fashion and business.
But in 2022, she surprised everyone by tweeting:
“I’m coming back. Music is calling to me.”
So no — she didn’t officially quit forever. But she’s clearly been struggling with the music industry and public pressure.
What Is She Doing Now?
- She released a few independent singles and tried OnlyFans, where she shared art and exclusive content.
- She’s been very active on social media, often defending herself against critics and expressing her opinions freely.
- She’s focusing on being a mom — her son, Onyx, was born in 2020.
- There have been no full albums since The End of an Era, and no major label deal.
It seems like Iggy is still undecided about her place in music. She wants to be free from industry rules — but also wants to be heard.
Final Thoughts
Iggy Azalea is a complex figure in pop culture. She had a fast and dramatic rise, and an even faster fall in the public eye.
Right now, she hasn’t officially said she’s done with music — but she’s clearly stepping back and doing things on her own terms.
Will she ever make a full comeback?
Only time will tell. But for now, she’s living life outside the spotlight — and maybe that’s exactly what she needs.
