Nick Young's unfaithfulness delayed Iggy Azalea's album; Reasons revealed
Iggy Azalea's fans are wondering why her new album "Digital Distortion" has not been released yet since the first single was released months ago. The first song of the album titled "Azillion" was released last January and the follow up single titled "Team" was released in March. The Australian rapper also made collaboration with Pop Princess Britney Spears in the song "Pretty Girls" but the rapper was not seen after that.
According to Complex, many people think that Azalea has been having a hard time handling her split from her fiancé, NBA player Nick Young. The couple called off their engagement in June after Azalea discovered that Young cheated on her. Not long after their split, Young revealed that his ex-girlfriend Keonna Green is pregnant with their second child.
Azalea and Young started dating in 2013 and were engaged by June 2015.
According to Billboard, in an interview with People, Azalea admitted that the problems with her personal life were the main reason why the release of her album was delayed. She said that she needed a lot of time after the break-up and Young's revelation that he is having another child.
The 26-year-old rapper said that she just needed some personal time, rather than pushing herself to write songs immediately. She said that she is planning to write some "sexy songs" about being single. Azalea said that returning to her love for horseback riding has helped her cope during her difficult times. She said that it helped her calm down and it was very humbling.
As of writing, Azalea seems to be in a better place. She is now one of the judges in "The X Factor Australia." There were also reports that she has been spending a lot of time with French Montana after her split.
Fans can expect the release of her new album by January 2017.
