Iggy Azalea Spilled The Beans On WWHL
The “Fancy” rapper appeared on the late-night talk show where she was asked by Cohen if she would open to working with the pop singer again and she was quick to respond yes! But she had some stipulations.
“Would I be interested, yes, of course. My collaboration with her is always one of my favorite collaborations,” she recalls of the song “Pretty Girls” that she and Iggy collaborated on back in 2015.
Iggy reminded fans that she has been very vocal about wanting to work with Britney again and even about her conservatorship. “I have spoken about this before; I just feel like there was so much we wanted to do with it that we never got to. We never got to do all we wanted to do.”
Iggy Azalea Has Spoken To Britney Spears
The rapper shared that her friendship with Britney is intact. “I have been in touch,” she confirmed. “We talk on Instagram sometimes. She'll message me and I'll message her back and everything.
As for all the stuff they never got to do, Iggy clarifies that statement when Andy probes and asks “like what?”
“Just be out more,” she claims. “She was so limited obviously. And now that she has the ability to do it her way 100 percent,” she’s down. Iggy also praised Brit for her creativity and how great she is at her job, when she is given the opportunity.
“I love Britney and she is so much more creative than what people give her credit for, like what she did with Elton [John] was amazing. I would love to be part of more of anything that she had to do especially when they are 100 percent her own ideas.”
Andy was so down, “I would love to see it, too,” he said excitedly. The co-guest, James Kennedy of Vanderpump Rules also was excited about new music from Iggy and Britney, he remixed “Black Widow” a few years back and it gained a little bit of traction for the DJ.
Iggy Azalea Had A Bizarre Experience With Jamie Spears
While the video for “Pretty Girls” was bright, colorful, and fun, the vibes behind the scenes were a mess. Iggy shared her experience working with Britney’s dad Jamie Spears and how weird and demanding he was over Britney and attempted to lord over Iggy.
“During the time we worked together in 2015, I personally witnessed the same behavior Britney detailed in regard to her father last week and I just want to back her up and tell the world that: She is not exaggerating or lying.”
She went on to call the conservatorship “abusive” and shared that Britney had “bizarre” restrictions on her like her soda intake was limited and Jamie lording over her to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
“This is not right at all,” she tweeted at the time. It looks like several years later, Iggy has kept that same energy. Too bad music is no longer something that Iggy is focused on.
