Iggy Azalea: “I Hate Seeing My Idols Turn Into Washed Up Pop Stars”

The Grammy-nominated rapper Iggy Azalea has revealed that she believes most of her idols have fallen prey to irrelevancy in their older years.

What she had to say about the performers she grew up listening to?

Her words below…

In an interview with MTV Australia the entertainer was asked where she would like to be in the next five years.

Her answer?

Hopefully still making music in a tasteful manner. I hate seeing my idols from my teens turn into washed up pop stars. I definitely don’t want to ever be that.

Her comments come after she took to Twitter to suggest her ‘Pretty Girls’ collaboration with Britney Spears failed to fly commercially because the ‘Toxic’ singer wasn’t interested in promoting it.

Spears responded with this…

britney-iggy-that-grape-juice

The reply is said to have taken aim at Azalea’s ‘Great Escape Tour’ which was cancelled because of poor ticket sales.

Read more on that here.

Comments like these may offend fans of said “washed ups” but I doubt it’ll do much to harm Iggy‘s public image as the worst has already happened.

However, let’s hope she puts her opinions to good use for the second studio album she’s cooking up.

For, the rapper’s PR problems wouldn’t have done as much damage as they have if there was exceptional material and undeniable rap skill to mask them with.

After all, it took no more than two freestyles to restore Drake‘s credibility when he- like Iggy- was accused of using ghostwriters.

Your thoughts?

      Is she tasteful now?

    • no stan zone August 1, 2015

  2. BeyIsKing August 1, 2015

  3. #TeamTinashe Stan August 1, 2015

      • Mark111 /.\ August 1, 2015

        Are you sure, cause if Lil Wayne isn’t getting paid, what make you think she is? And Baby already said that her and Drake are going NOWHERE. 360, lol

    • Molly August 1, 2015

      Agreeed….

    • Keri Qween August 1, 2015

      LB I see no lies

      Plastic minaj is already fading. How two most recent albums can’t even sell a million copies

  5. jack August 1, 2015

    How was that even a hint towards Britney? Please don’t lie lol

  6. Mark111 /.\ August 1, 2015

    Well she has a point. I mean these artist of OUR time are not maturing, other than Janet and even she was clinging to be young from 2003 to 2008. Nothing wrong with growing up, plus sometime it’s time to call it a done deal and look back at your career. Why would you want to be over 50 or 60 and working?
    .
    Rihanna will have her time, so will Beyonce, Katy and the rest of the youths, young people don’t have a connection to 40 year olds and when these older artist try so hard to sound, look and act 20, then their age demographic won’t feel them either.
    .
    I’m sorry, but to me, paying this bill, buying this textbook, making an investment or buying a house comes before buying an album.

  7. Molly August 1, 2015

    No one uses Iggy so she’ll definitely be that.

    • Mark111 /.\ August 1, 2015

      But you were.a.fan…

      • Keri Qween August 1, 2015

    • BEY>RIH August 1, 2015

      Right her and Ms. keri baby are in the same lane of irrelevancy… kii

      • Keri Qween August 1, 2015

        Irrelevant would be pretty hurts

      • Arv August 1, 2015

        Irrelevant would be every song Keri’s ever released.

    • Xtina = The voice of this generation August 1, 2015

      But Keri tho.

      • Keri Qween August 1, 2015

        Yes but what about Screamtina?

  10. Mark111 /.\ August 1, 2015

    I laugh how everyone were so upset by her last year. I told y’all, 15 mins. Y’all were acting like she won grammys and went diamond.

  11. Cough Cough August 1, 2015

    She is right. Why are you trying to make it seem like she’s talking about Britney? Horrible journalism. Majority of the PPP stars out when she was a kid ARE DEAD AND GONE. Anyone who doesn’t see that reality is an idiot 100%

  12. sips tea August 1, 2015

    dumb b**** ur already the Carlie Rae Jensen/Ke$ha of 2014. ur washed up 5 months from ur “mainstream” success.

    • Cough Cough August 1, 2015

      She is right… Which pop stars from 10-17 years ago are still around, except maybe 5 .. I’ll wait

      • sips tea August 1, 2015

        dont. I didn’t say she lied. I said she is washed up.

      • ronnoc August 1, 2015

        EVERY artist has their time, then gets replaced by a younger, more current artist. That’s how it goes, unfortunately. Iggy just needs to realize that she is already fading into irrelevancy

  13. Stephy. August 1, 2015

    The only artist I see still domination in their 40s & 50s TODAY is … BEYONCE. I want her to be like Tina Turner. Slaying that stage well into her senior sensitize years.

    • Xtina = The voice of this generation August 1, 2015

      Well that’s true becausE of her performing ability.

    • Shady81 August 1, 2015

      You mean Senior Citizen?

  14. Arianator Barb August 1, 2015

  16. ratedxxx August 1, 2015

    I know she’s not coming for the legendary miss Britney spears

    and the dumb bish wonders why her so called career is on CRAP, right now..

    britney is a legend in the pop world..she will never be considered washed up….

  17. Molly August 1, 2015

    @XtinaFan its no shade sis but when did I ever say I was a fan of your fav?

    • Xtina = The voice of this generation August 1, 2015

      Well you have stated that you liked Xtina but you didn’t say you were a fan BUT coming for her when I show nothing but respect & love for ciara was not REAL imo but its cool we can squash this & keep it moving.

  18. Xtina = The voice of this generation August 1, 2015

    Chile yall be trolling too much.

  19. ratedxxx August 1, 2015

    people who work their butts off to achieve half of the success Iggy has, hates the dumb bish for throwing it all away, because she CANNOT SHUT THE FUGG UP
