Iggy Azalea is firing back at Universal Music Group (UMG) and is not holding back. Iggy has blasted Universal Music via her X account calling the iconic company the "scummiest". Iggy is accusing the global powerhouse of owing her millions in unpaid international royalties. The Australian rapper and singer took to social media in her ongoing rant, calling UMG "criminals" and claiming that despite her multiple chart-topping hits, she has never received her due royalties from international sales.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Iggy detailed her ongoing battle with the label, explaining that she attempted to resolve the issue amicably but was offered only a fraction of what she believes she is owed. “They offered me thousands when I’m owed millions,” she stated, emphasizing the disparity between what was offered and the amount she says is rightfully hers.
Iggy made it clear that she won’t back down. “I’m fighting to the end,” she wrote, vowing not to settle until she gets what she’s owed. She also expressed her frustration with the larger music industry, suggesting that this is a common practice among major labels, who she claims regularly exploit artists by withholding payments.

Her bold stance against Universal Music Group sheds light on the broader issue of financial transparency and fair compensation within the music business, particularly for artists who generate millions in revenue yet struggle to see a fair share of the profits.
As of now, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but Iggy’s commitment to pursuing justice is clear, and she has made it known that she will not be silenced in this fight.
Iggy Azalea has a son, Onyx, with her ex-boyfriend, rapper Playboi Carti; which Iggy has made it known she is a single mother with no co-parenting involvement on Playboi Carti side. In a recent plea to Kanye West by way of her social media again asking the Ye to respect her as a mother and leave her son Onyx out of any comments due to the fact he is a minor and has nothing to do with anything. Iggy has in many fans opinions kept it more respectful than most when speaking on her claim of the non-relevant other parent of the son they share together. Only time will tell if Ye will let go asking for his nephews vocals on a track.
