One year after critics questioned her decision to sign with T.I‘s ‘Grand Hustle‘, ‘My World’ Rapper has made the necessary move to rectify that mistake and signed with Def Jam records!
Good news below!
Sure to afford her the treatment an act as strong as hers deserves, Iggy announced the deal on Twitter today- sharing:
This deal now sees her join Elijah Blake, Rihanna and Frank Ocean at the label, all of whom bid adieu to former executive Joie Manda who left the label to pick up a similar role at Iovine’s Interscope.
Sure to take her UK smash hit ‘Work‘ to similar heights in the US, this deal comes after the Rapper signed to Mercury Records (also under the Universal Music Group) and Turn First Artists, the team responsible for Rita Ora’s meteoric rise to success in the last year. A rise, that saw her move over 1 million units in the market since February 2012.
As far as Hustle Gang goes, we can’t but commend Iggy for keeping it light and bright with regards to her seemingly friendly departure from them and hope the pressure of losing acts to more organised labels forces them to push their current roster as well as Roc Nation and Cash Money push theirs.
For, while she says she’s still with them, her decision to move elsewhere says far more…and far louder.

BIG things coming for this girl thats already doing AMAZING in the UK!!!!!!
Where she paid for play. Anyone can slay in the UK because it’s so small so I hope her label has their coins ready if she really wants to slay here too.
Everyone in the knows the true tea. Britain is f****** cheap when you wanna pay off radio stations and that’s what she did.
And? Are they buying the track on iTunes wehre its currently in the top 15? Sit down. If anyone can slay in the UK then why dont they? Iggy is a new artist and if people are willing to invest so much money on her it’s because they see her potential and shes still winning so go hate on someone elses p****.
UMMMM SHE IS GONNA FLOP IN AMERICA WE WILL LAUGH AT HER
Even though I think Nicki is the only true #1 female mc. I still don’t pride myself on one’s lost. Atleast Iggy is doing something, what are you doing? Oh yeah just hereon this blog site every day commenting. LMFAO at YOU H**!
KILL YOURSELF BROAD DON’T WORRY ABOUT WHAT IM DOING. WORRY ABOUT THAT IGFLOPGY C*** WHO’S GOING NOWHERE FAST #FLOP
^^ oh dear. the name says it all. lol.
Good for her! She been working on her S***!!!!
Work Work Work Work Work
Iggy’s music career is already on the rocks and she hasn’t even been out that long. “Murda Bizness” was a f****** flop and so is “Work.” This fake wannabe gangsta and what she things is black w**** needs to give up the music career and be a model.
Work isn’t flopping you silly seedy queen. GET YOUR S*** RIGHT!
Murda Bizness was a free track you idiot… it was supposed to be her first single under Interscope but she never signed that deal so the track was released on her free EP/Mixtape last year
Work is a hit and Murda Bizness was never a single. Sit the f*** down
big things ah gwan, i guess that collaboration with rihanna sounding a lil less like a rumour
THEY NEVER THANKED ME FOR OPENING DOORS
BUT THEY DIDNT EVEN THANK JESUS WHEN HE DIED IN THE CROSS.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THIS FLOP OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE KANGAROO AUSSIE B**** COULD NEVER
Iggy on “Treasure Island” raps: “Nicki paved the way…”
Oooh yasss hunny!
QUEEN MINAJ but she never dis Nicki,she said she wants to work with Nicki,so how is your comment making sense in this situation..sigh i love my fellow Nicki fans but some time some of you start sh-t were there is no sh-t.
She’s gonna flop so hard here cos I know the tea in the UK is that she paid for radio time just so Work could slay. She better understand that we aren’t as easy to please here and that payola costs a WHOLE lot more than it does over there.
Says the Ciara Stan. Sit the f*** down .
YASSSSSS You better stan for our mother.
“All These Rap B****** Are Only HOT! For One Summer” – Nicki
NICKI MINAJ>>>>>>>>>EVERY FEMALE MC
She inspired all these old rap b****** to get their pens and start writing again and also she influenced all these girls to become rappers, So respect who’s #1! in the Game #BOWDOWNBITCHES!
The only way she’ll kill it here is if they force her down our throats because nobody is checking for her.
Im sure she will do better than Lana Del Local lmao, but thats not hard
Lana Del Rey’s “Born to Die” sold 3.5 million CD’s worldwide with no huge mainstream hits.
Not many artists can do that. Secondly, Lana is not a local act. She is more popular in Europe than she is in America. The majority of her album sales are from Europe.
F*** all y’all basic b******. Iggy is coming to snatch wigs.
Nicki’s wig is sewed, superglued, hammered, bungee corded, and stapled to her scalp honey!
Nicki REMAINS unbothered by Iggy. Chile….
fkn seed..
I actually live here in the UK so I can say she is slaying here but everyone does well here, even Flopnika.
I want Def Jam to sign R&B singer Keshia Chante. She is super talented! It’s ridiculous.
B**** SHE BEEN AROUND FOR HOW LONG? TELL THAT TRICK TO HANG IT UP FLATSCREEN
She’s still young my friend no need to be rude.
The Canadian music industry is much tougher than the UK, Australia & etc. to break in the US market but trust me with her album she is coming out with she is taking that direction.
I love this chick but Imma keep it so real right now. She doesn’t come off like the nicest girl and we all know that black folk DO NOT like white girls who rap especially when they find out about the runaway s**** master s***.
I really really hope DJ want her to win because she has so much to fight against if she really wants to get on top.
YAAAASS Iggy. These b****** want to hate but I see your potential and I know you will win eventually.
Iggy Payola.
Payola isn’t the reason Work is #15 on the U.K iTunes. Mad cause Bankrupt is now a non factor and her s*** is below #270? Lol
Azealia could use some payola. Her single is flopping so badly
She grinds so hard I gotta respect her.
LMAO @ THESE FILTHY B******!!!
The UK is irrelevant, yet the majority of best selling artists in America are British?
I CANNOT.
You Black n***** aren’t welcome in England anyway… Stay in the projects you dirty n******… Not in the queens country. Not to mention that this is A UK site.
B**** PLEASE!!! lmfao
You British M************ KNOW yall need to Brush yall f****** Teeth honTEE!
The only joy that England has brought to my life was Austin Powers. Yall are Irrelevant AS F***! You and the Queen can share a glass of Tea on a fat d***!
*throws a full bottle of Listarine at this yuck mouth flop b**** and walks away holding Olympic Metals*.
You madd? 🙂
^READ HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh b**** puhleasee! Without the UK there would be no America as we know it! You speak our motherfuckin language b**** ENGLISH b****. That’s right ENGLISH. Your highest selling current popstar ADELE is from the UK b****. James Bond is f****** British b****, London is the fashion capital of the world B****. Dance music was popular in the UK before America, The Beetles your highest selling boy band is British b**** so have a seat! Honey, even the blog your ass is sitting on now is British. You have so much stuff influencing you from the UK you don’t even realise, I could go on…. But yet we are irrelevant.
AS A BLACK CITIZEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM I WOULD FULLY LIKE TO OPPOSE THIS RACIST C*** HIDING BEHIND HIS COMPUTER, TRUST ME IF HE WAS TO SAY THIS STUFF IN CENTRAL LONDON, HE WOULD BE CUSSED OUT, AND ALSO TO THE AMERICANS CUSSING THE BRITISH, LAY OFF I HAVE PERFECTLY WHITE HORIZONTAL TEETH WITH NO CAVITIES WHATSO EVER SO LET THAT STEREOTYPE YOU’VE BEEN FEED GO
The UK IS irrelevant
How many British artists are successful here that are also doing good in the UK?
Jessie J? Nope
Cheryl Cole? Nope
Rita Ora? Nope
Cher Lloyd? Nope
Pixie Lott? Nope
Ellie Goulding? Nope
Little Mix? Nope
Should I go on?
You forget about the two biggest ones Adele and One Direction that are outselling majority of your American faves.
You are*
Awww So Happy For My Girl, You Go Iggy Legendary Flip Hair!!!!!!!
I love her!
PS: Rita Ora sold 1 million copies of what album? Please show me receipts , yall stay inflating numbers and deflating (in the case of Rihanna)
Iggy is going to slay in the U.S now. They have the opportunity to establish her as an international act since she has been successful in the U.K too.
And to the haters who claim that she uses payola (with no proof) please explain the slayage Work is doing on the U.K iTunes chart? Ok.
Iggy’s Grind >
Good move and well done.
I’ve been giving her a chance and like the work song
i bet azealia banks is quaking in her leather boots now that her nemesis has full corporate reinforcement
Go Iggy!
