Iggy Azalea officially cancelled her upcoming arena tour with a late-breaking Friday announcement. This won’t come as a huge shock to those who have followed Iggy’s adventures here. We didn’t cover the Change.org petition that called for a retraction of Iggy’s Billboard “best rap” award because it felt like overkill. Iggy’s already been attacked by the music industry, so why pile on?

Iggy has displayed plenty of her own questionable attitudes. She believes that she’s an authentic rapper who is “actually good.” Iggy thinks people dislike her for her talent, but that’s not the case. Rap music fans (and artists) don’t appreciate her appropriated accent. Even worse, the girl cannot freestyle rap at all. People don’t understand what she says without autotune.

The last time we spoke of Iggy in an artistic sense (not about her plastic surgery), the pop-rapper had postponed her tour after refusing to do publicity. I felt bad for Iggy because her press-shy attitude followed a body shaming episode. She quit social media, which would affect any contemporary recording artist’s career. But Iggy explained her tour issues away as perfectionism. She told Billboard, “It is bumped back because I am a psychopath. It is my first arena tour, so it’s a big undertaking and I’m doing a lot of the creative direction, which I do for everything.”

Billboard now reports that Iggy’s tour is definitely cancelled:

Iggy Azalea has canceled her The Great Escape Tour. An email was sent out to ticketholders on Friday (May 29) letting them know the news.

“The Iggy Azalea Great Escape Tour scheduled for this fall has been cancelled and refunds are available at point of purchase,” the email reportedly reads. “There will be a new tour planned around Iggy’s new record to be released in 2016 and we apologize for any inconvenience.

[From Billboard]

Iggy returned to Twitter with a response.

As u may know, the tour is cancelled. I’m so sad and sorry to let my fans down…we’ll be back out on the road when the next album is done.

Iggy assured her Twitter followers that not all was lost. She’s still appearing at festivals and parades (and Bar Mitzvahs).

The cancellations don’t include Pittsburgh Pride, Ottawa Bluesfest, Québec Summer Festival, or Washington State Fair. Still coming to those!

The Daily Dot believes the internet killed Iggy’s career. I’m not so sure. Iggy believes that critics pile on her because she’s female, which sounds like a blanket excuse. There are many other reasons why Iggy isn’t accepted by the rap community.

Here’s what I’ve been saying all along. Iggy has a bad attitude, and she cannot rap. She appropriates the genre’s culture, and she makes excuses. But the real problem is that all of Iggy’s hit singles are duets. What songs could Iggy possibly perform on this tour? She could do her own solo songs in a club setting, but arena settings demand more.
