Iggy Azalea Says Quavo Is One of the Only Artists Who Has Really Been There for Her

Iggy Azalea had a rough start in the music industry after her smash hit "Fancy." Between record label woes, the inability to release another hit song, a breakup with her cheating fiancé Nick Young, and tweeters accusing her of cultural appropriation, it was quite an unfortunate ride for Azalea.

Luckily, she's had a few celebrity friends in her corner. "If I’m being honest, the only people who have been there for me are Quavo, Kesha and Demi [Lovato]," she revealed in a Billboard feature by Jason Lipshutz. "And everyone else has pretty much acted like I don’t exist."

And it seems the Migos' rhymer has especially been nice to her since he gave her a verse on her latest single, "Savior," for free.99.

"He gains nothing for being on the song," said Azalea. "Everybody’s probably just like, 'Oh, but she sucks,' or 'Oh, he just did it for money.' No, he hit me up and we sent music back and forth, and he wanted to do that song."

As for the rest, Azalea says they left her in the dust in the middle of her crisis. "But there definitely have been some people that I feel like, 'Okay, wow, you’re really gonna completely disassociate because of other people’s perceptions?' Which is kind of wack as fuck, but I try not to dwell too much on those things, because I understand—you guys have your own brands, and you’re just trying to protect yourself. I try not to take that personally."

At least she has an amigo in Migos. (Admit it, you laughed.) Read the full Billboard piece here; at one point Iggy talks about telling a label exec, "I don’t want to make music for your 10-year-old daughter anymore."
