Never one to shy away from controversy, singer Iggy Azalea, mum to 16-month-old son Onyx, has spoken out about juggling her work and parental responsibilities openly saying she finally feels; \u201csuper fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iggy Azalea, 31, has received major column inches this month advocating mums having a career as well as caring for their kids. This year already, Iggy has released an album, is currently supporting Pit Bull on tour in the US, has launched her make-up line Totally Plastic and is also pursuing a modelling career.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt makes me feel so much more fulfilled to be able to accomplish all of these tasks simultaneously,\u201d she said, \u201cIt\u2019s really difficult, but it makes it so satisfying.\u201c<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iggy says she loves spending time with her son and adores being a mum but feels it is important for women not to give up their careers, despite it being hard work. She admits it is difficult to juggle – especially as she has been surviving some nights on just three hours sleep.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can be stressful. My son and I love to spend time together, so he stays up until 7 o\u2019clock at night. I go to sleep at 4.30am some nights and he gets up at 7.15am!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her routine has caused her to gain a new-found respect for working mums saying her life is a \u201cnever ending struggle\u201d but she wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great to know that the projects that I am involved in are going to be something that my son will see and say, \u2018My mum was super cool. Look at what she did!\u2019\u201d It\u2019s all about being a good role model and having a good work ethic to show your kids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a tough year for Iggy romantically too. She has had to go through a very public break-up with her rapper ex-boyfriend, Playboi Carti, and father of Onyx which has been played out in the media. Iggy\u2019s frustrations with his lack of effort and commitment to Onyx has seen her take to social media to vent her frustrations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She accused Carti of not spending Christmas Day with Onyx just months after they split. \u201cToo bad you got an album out but can\u2019t even come to Christmas with your own son,\u201d Iggy tweeted. \u201cAnd I was gonna keep it cute and let you live but nah, Not after I just peeped that trifling sh-t. TRIFLING!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before Carti, Iggy was engaged to Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young but called off their engagement in 2016 due to his infidelity when\u00a0a\u00a0video surfaced of him talking about other women and then she\u00a0actually\u00a0discovered him cheating on CCTV footage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said at the time: “I broke up with Nick because I found out he had brought other women into our home while I was away and caught them on\u00a0security footage. I feel like I don\u00b4t even know who the hell it is I\u00b4ve been loving all this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Iggy has said she is not actively looking for a boyfriend at the moment but hasn\u2019t ruled it out if the right guy comes along. Judging by her latest Pit Bull tour pics with her sensational nipped in waist and hotpants she won\u2019t be short of offers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Australian-born Iggy has always been considered a ballsy girl, having\u00a0dropped out of school at\u00a016 to travel to America\u00a0in the hope\u00a0of cracking the music industry\u00a0\u2013 a dream that very few actually get to live out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But Iggy has noticeable talents; being able to sing, rap and write her own music\u00a0and definitely made an impression on the notoriously tough record industry.\u00a0She spent several years making her dream a reality, mixing with top producers and rappers.\u00a0Her\u00a0debut studio album,\u00a0\u201cThe New Classic<\/a>\u201d\u00a0peaked among the top five\u00a0of several charts worldwide in 2014\u00a0and topping\u00a0the\u00a0Billboard Top R&B\/Hip-Hop Albums<\/a>\u00a0making her\u00a0the first non-American female rapper to reach the top\u00a0of the charts.\u00a0An amazing\u00a0accolade\u00a0for a then 23-year-old musician.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The album was preceded by her debut single “Work<\/a>“, and generated the US\u00a0Billboard Hot 100<\/a>\u00a0chart\u00a0topping single “Fancy<\/a>“, which made Iggy the fourth female\u00a0rapper in the history to reach number one, claiming the longest-leading reign with seven consecutive weeks. Additionally, she was featured on\u00a0Ariana\u00a0Grande<\/a>‘s single “Problem<\/a>“, which peaked at number two while “Fancy” was number one.\u00a0She\u00a0joined\u00a0The Beatles<\/a>\u00a0as the only act\u00a0to rank at numbers one and two simultaneously with two Hot 100 entries.\u00a0<\/sup>She also went on to achieve three\u00a0top ten hits simultaneously\u00a0with the aforementioned songs along with the fifth single from the album, “Black Widow<\/a>“, later that year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Azalea’s second studio album\u00a0\u201cDigital Distortion<\/a>\u201d\u00a0with its lead single, “Team<\/a>” was a major hit for her. On August 13 this year her third studio album \u201cThe End Of An Era\u201d dropped with rave reviews making it to number 9 in the charts. The catchy lyrics and tracks were a tribute to the end of her 20\u2019s and served as a \u201ctime capsule of that decade of her life,\u201d with tracks like \u201cSip It\u201d from Tyga and even a collaboration with Posh Spice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Iggy has now said she is taking a break from recording for a couple of years to \u201cpursue other interests\u201d but indicated she will be back after getting more life experience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whatever happens to Iggy now you can be sure the outspoken singer will stay true to herself. She regularly pipes up with\u00a0refreshing comments in the media\u00a0and has even advocated more people actually admitting to having plastic surgery following her breast augmentation\u00a0and\u00a0rhinoplasty\u00a0operations in 2015.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI think, people should be more accepting of the fact that both famous and non-famous women are having\u00a0cosmetic procedures.\u00a0That\u2019s just the reality. And I think more people need to admit that shit so it doesn\u2019t have to be so taboo –\u00a0because we\u2019re all doing it anyway!\u201d\u00a0Iggy claimed, again, never one to shy away from controversy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And this is another reason why her fans love her – because she is so candidly open and honest about her life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Never one to shy away from controversy, singer Iggy Azalea, mum to 16-month-old son Onyx, has spoken out about juggling her work and parental responsibilities openly saying she finally feels; \u201csuper fulfilled.\u201d Iggy Azalea, 31, has received major column inches this month advocating mums having a career as well as caring for their kids.
