These photos are all of Iggy Azalea over the past week. She’s been relaxing, riding horses and pampering herself at salons and dermatology clinics. The Mail thinks Iggy’s having more work done (in addition to her recent plastic surgery). I think she’s probably had some dermabrasion, no big deal.
Iggy’s enjoying her newfound downtime after cancelling her arena tour. Iggy tried to explain the situation as her decision because “I just feel I deserve a break.” She also wasn’t selling enough tickets to support an arena tour. After the cancellation, Iggy assured her followers that she’d still headline the Pittsburgh Pride parade (even though groups protested her presence because of her history of homophobic statements).
The Pittsburgh backlash grew. City Council President Bruce Klaus (the city’s first openly gay elected official) refused to attend Pride if Iggy headlined. Several LGBT-friendly groups cancelled their appearances too. Now Iggy has announced she will not perform at the parade:
I am truly disappointed that I have to share this news, but I will no longer be performing at Pittsburgh Pride on June 13th.
This has been a difficult decision as I truly support the event and LGBTIQA communities, however I feel my participation at this point would only serve to further distract from the true purpose of the event.
I am a firm believer in equality. Unfortunately in the past as a young person, I used words I should not have. The last thing I want is for something so carelessly said to be interpreted as reflective of my character.
I meant no harm and deeply regret ever uttering those words. As an adult I would never use them because I understand they play a detrimental role in the fight for issues that I do truly believe in.
I am sorry to anyone I have offended or disappointed & I wish all my fans and friends participating in Pride the best of luck.

I don’t believe that Iggy wrote this statement by herself. Her management has largely taken over her social media (for good reason). If it was up to Iggy, she’d have Tweeted something condescending like this. Good on Pittsburgh. Iggy really did tweet some terrible things. This NSFW-language gallery is worth clicking through. Iggy defends herself by saying she wasn’t an adult and didn’t know better. All of these tweets are dated 2010 or more recent, and she’s 25 now.
