Iggy Azalea Greeted With Wardrobe Malfunction On Return To Stage

Iggy Azalea's return to the stage is quite an eventful one!

After more than a two-year hiatus, the Australian rapper's comeback was unfortunately cut short by a wardrobe malfunction. During her performance in the conservative city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the songwriter was utterly blindsided when her pants split open on stage.  

Unfortunately, this incident reportedly led to local authorities preventing her from completing her performance. The moment it happened was captured on camera and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a verified fan account. In the clip, the "Work" artist could be seen on the stage taking to knees and immediately grabbing her inner thigh and looking to the left offstage in surprise. 

As for the mother-of-one, she later addressed it in a deleted tweet, and in response, a fan asked, "They really wouldn't let you just change pants?" The three-time Teen Choice Awards winner clarified that she had indeed changed her pants, but she also mentioned that her on-stage comment had an impact on the authorities' decision to intervene. In her words:

"I did but I also said "Ladies make some noise, it's a woman's world!" And apparently that sent the authorities over the edge. Lol." The 33-year-old explained that she was completely fine with it, but she "didn't want the fans to be sad or angry at the show organizers cause it wasn't their control or mine it was the police at the side of stage."

Earlier, Azalea announced her return to the music scene by sharing a bold image of her song's release, adding an extra layer of excitement to the eagerly anticipated return. The "Fancy" rapper flaunted her gorgeous curves in a diamond-studded silver one-piece, complemented by eye-catching earrings, a necklace, and thigh bracelets.

Perched on a gray chair adorned with images of an unidentified bottom, she created a captivating shot for the shoot. Underneath the picture, the "Black Widow" artist shared a short message with her followers:

"Money Come video drops tonight! Midnight EST!" Responding eagerly in the comments, one fan could not hold back their excitement: "IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK DOING THE THING! Your music has always meant so much to me, and seeing you succeed over and over is soooo inspiring. LOVE U IGGY!" 

A second admirer praised her looks, stating, "damn iggy always serving looks," while a third expressed anticipation, "I am so excited to watch the music video tonight @thenewclassic." At the same time, a fourth noted, "She… is the MOMENT." 

In February, The Blast reported that the model reaffirmed her determination to stick with her earlier announcement about joining OnlyFans to support her year-long venture, "Hotter Than Hell." The product was meant to feature diverse content and artistic collaborations. 

During her appearance on Emily Ratajkowski's "High Low with EmRata" podcast, the "In My Defense" rapper openly discussed the endeavor. Their conversation began with a chat about the substantial earnings Azaleas has reportedly garnered as an OnlyFans creator that past month. 

She confidently stated that she was making so much money" but would not "even say how much it is." Their discussion then shifted to the topic of commercializing their bodies. The two-time American Music Awards winner shared that while record labels profited substantially from her image, she received the "smallest cut." 

Carrying that past experience with her, she remained resolute in her decision to reclaim control by directly capitalizing on her own body. She also revealed to her fans that sharing explicit, uncensored content of herself was about more than just asserting control. 

In fact, she openly expressed her enjoyment in showcasing her body, especially after undergoing cosmetic procedures like a nose job and breast augmentation in 2014.

The three-time Billboard Music Awards winner confirmed her satisfaction with her augmented breasts, "I'm happy with them and I like my body. I like my body. I liked my body before. I liked my face before and I like it now. I like myself. I never didn't. I never hated myself."
