Iggy Azalea hits out at perceived misogyny

-

IGGY Azalea hates having to “prove” herself to other people.

The 32-year-old rap star has taken to social media to hit out at perceived misogyny, revealing she hates being asked to prove that she’s “making choices from a position of power”.

Azalea, who was born in Australia, but moved to the US during her teens, wrote on Twitter: “No one ever assumes a woman is making choices from a position of power/control.

“Women have to PROVE that they are over and over again. I hate that. (sic)”

She has confessed to feeling “utterly deprived of a personal life” during her music career.

The rap star recently took to social media to offer advice to aspiring

music stars, admitting that her own path towards fame and success hasn’t been straightfo­rward.

The Fancy hitmaker – who has Onyx, 2, with ex-boyfriend Playboi Carti – wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “Here’s the thing I think everyone working hard toward a dream should know.

“On the road to ur goal there will be moments u feel insane, utterly deprived of a personal life and like everything’s falling apart.

“When u reach ur goal … u will still have those moments. It’s normal. (sic)”

Azalea announced in 2021 that she was taking a break from music for “a

few years” to focus on “other creative projects”.

However, the rap star later confirmed her return to the music scene via a Twitter post.

She wrote online: “A year ago I was willing to walk away from music because I was tired of the negative energy it attracted.

“But what I’ve learned is that even when I’m minding my business, y’all gonna be negative AND nosey.

“So if I can’t have peace, neither can you. I’m coming back. Cry about it. (sic)” | Bang Showbiz
