14 DAY TRIAL // Iggy Azalea is supposed to kick her first arena tour, The Great Escape Tour, on April 14 in Fresno, CA: she started preparing for it many months back, as per her own words. She also claimed to be thrilled to hit the road to meet the fans, promising them an experience like no other.
Her heart was probably at the right place then, but sources familiar with the situation tell The Wrap that the tour is in danger of getting the axe because she is shutting out most people involved with it.
It’s not that she told them she wouldn’t do the tour anymore, but that she acts as if she wants it to be a failure, the report notes.
Apparently, the Australian rapper is “increasingly unresponsive to her management and refuses to engage in promotion,” “has become disengaged from her core team,” and “will not commit to press opportunities crucial in selling the massive effort.”
Iggy is very famous and has a strong following, but that’s not enough to guarantee her sold-out venues for all 24 dates of the tour, especially since many are arenas with capacities of upwards of 18,000.
A few days ago, Iggy quit Twitter and Instagram, telling the fans that she’d had it with the way the media crossed the line with her and invaded her privacy countless times. When photos of her in a bikini and another round of pics snapped right in her back yard hit the web, she called it a day with social media.
For a while, both her accounts went offline, but they’re now back up and being managed by someone else. If the report above is accurate, it could be that her manager talked her into allowing the accounts to go back up, but hasn’t been successful with much else.
Until further notice Iggy's Instagram will be run by management. Iggy is taking a break from social media. She loves all her Azaleans!! A photo posted by Iggy Azalea (@thenewclassic) on Mar 6, 2015 at 6:23am PST
This is me standing in front of my home, which has a 6ft high blacked out fence around it. No one should be made to feel like their own home is a prison because even your garden may be grounds for a photoshoot. I really just want to urge my fans to be aware of what you are enabling when posting these pictures. It is illegal to post images of someone in their home or property with a long range camera. I'm asking in the nicest way possible to please think twice about that. You're home is supposed to be your place of peace. I just want mine to be that too same as everyone else.
