Iggy signs with GRAND HUSTLE! Iggy Azalea is an Austrialia rapper/model who airs she was approached by T. I. T. I approached the artist before her plans of signing with Interscope Records.
Breakfast Club:
“T.I. he actually called my management up and said that he wanted to meet me and have a conversation,” said Iggy Azalea in a video posted on XclusivesZone.net. “And he was in L.A. I was supposed to go sign my deal with Interscope the next day. So my managers were like ‘No harm can come from this right?’ Wrong. So I went and he was like ‘Hey, what do you think about waving the Grand Hustle flag?’ And I said ‘Well who the hell is on Grand Hustle anymore anyway?’ That’s what I said to him…Well, he basically said me, B.o.B, and OMG Girlz…So I said ‘I don’t know, I don’t have an executive producer why don’t you fill in that spot for now and we’ll see.’”
Iggy Azalea explained that although she did choose to sign with T.I. up until a few days ago she was still managed by Interscope. The rapper went on to state that being managed by Interscope became a conflict of interest and that was the reasoning behind choosing new management.
“And when I didn’t sign to Interscope to me that became a conflict of interest because I felt like I wasn’t really a priority anymore…I need somebody that’s just focused on me,” Iggy Azalea explained.
The rapper also touched on not receiving much of a reception from those in Australia where she says Hip Hop becomes “lost” compared to other genres like dance and indie rock.
“I don’t know. I don’t think they love me too much cause I never hear from anybody over there. Rappers aren’t that popular over there. It’s really electronic dance music that’s popular. Indie rock and then rap is really lost,” said the rapper.
