Iggy Azalea trended for all the wrong reasons after it was revealed the femcee had written a letter of “support” for Tory Lanez to the judge deciding his fate.
The Canadian performer is currently awaiting sentencing after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
With Lanez’s legal team assembling a mountain of support declarations from friends, colleagues, and charities, it emerged that Azalea was one of them. She pleaded with Judge Herriford to hand down a sentence that was “transformative, not life destroying.”
The blowback from social media was swift and scathing.
Now, Azalea has issued a response.

Via Twitter (X), she wrote:
“For the record:
1. I have not been in touch with tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well.
2. I don’t “support” anyone. the whole thing is full of oddities. My letter never mentioned anything in regard to what happened that night.
3. I was told this was for a judge only, yet it’s being discussed in public? I never intended to publicly comment.
4. l am not in support of throwing away ANY ones life if we can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead. I support prison reform. Period.
5. I was asked to write about my genuine experience and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did. It’s not really that interesting but I understand why it’s being sensationalized…
See ya next week to discuss pizza toppings I suppose. Lol”
With that, what are…
