Why did Iggy Azalea quit music?
Iggy Azalea took her official X handle and revealed why she is quitting her music career in a long note. Iggy explained on X that she took a break from writing her fourth album and didn't feel the "urge to go back to it".The Australian pop-star, who goes by the real name of Amethyst Amelia Kelly, said on the social media platform, "I’ve always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life." Below is Iggy's detailed statement-
"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. 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. 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.
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 you'll understand."
