If you’ve been wondering why Iggy Azalea hasn’t released her sophomore album Digital Distortion yet, the explanation is simple. In a recent interview, the Australian rapper told People magazine her personal life played a major role in the delay.
“It’s no secret, I kind of had my personal life fall apart… I needed a lot of time,” she told People.
In June Iggy split with her fiance Nick Young she caught him cheating and discovered he got his ex-girlfriend pregnant. “I mean, you wake up one morning and your fiancé is having a baby with someone else, you’re going to need some time, right?,” she added.
The delay also gave her time to come up with more fitting material. “I just kind of felt like, on top of me needing the personal time, then feeling, ‘Okay, I’m single now. I want to have sexy songs. I want to say stuff about being single,’” she said. “I obviously didn’t write that on my [original] album because when I wrote it I was about to get married.”
Iggy’s new album is now set to drop in January 2017.
