Iggy Azalea confirms Azealia Banks will be on her next album
It turns out that an Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks collaboration is actually happening.
A little over a week ago, the longtime foes publicly squashed their beef on social media. Iggy shared a post in which she expressed her empathy and insisted there was no hate: “As a 27 year old adult woman just know: I wish you well from one human to another and joke collaboration or not as adults we should move past trivial beef with strangers.”
The post came just a few days after Azealia posted what appeared to be a wishful to-do list. It included getting signed by Jay Z, dropping the “Fantasea 2” mixtape, and “releasing this Iggy collab.” People were unsure if Azealia was joking, or if they two artists actually had worked on music together.
On Monday afternoon, Iggy confirmed that she and the Harlem rapper have a song on the way. And it will appear on Iggy's upcoming album, “Digital Distortion”.
“Public Service Announcement, Azealia is going to be on DD. We are collaborating,” Azalea wrote on Snapchat. “Burn your wigs now or preserve them in your freezer for release day.” Shortly after revealing the surprising news, Iggy addressed the critics on Twitter, explaining the reasoning behind the decision. “I dont expect you guys to understand why i would collaborate with someone who has publicly said they hope i die. This has been something extremely negative for so long, if there is a way to make it positive and also be creative together, im here for it,” she said in a series of tweets.
“Digital Distortion” is expected to drop later this year, following several push-backs. During an interview with Zane Lowe back in March, the 27-year-old Australian talked about the album's delay, and said she had to scrap the first version because it was too negative.
