Iggy Azalea cannot catch a break. After a rough 2015 that included next to no music releases, a cancelled tour and tons of slander online from both “regular” folk and celebs, the Australian import tried to kick off 2016 the right way. Unfortunately, her label isn’t here for it.

“Bad news update:my record label Virgin/EMI seems to feel the response to my viral record “zillon” wasnt good enough & im not allowed a video,” Iggy wrote on Twitter last night, in reference to her recently-released track. “I felt like it was dope so, whatever. ted cockle doesnt wanna see me shine. what can i say. Anyhow i could say ALOT – but ill keep it mildly professional. Just wanted to let some of you guys asking know whats happening.”

Iggy went on to clarify that the song is not a single (as her official one for her sophomore album Digital Distortion will come next month,) but she wanted to keep the song buzzing on the internet with a viral video. She added that no, she can’t just go finance it herself, as her label is playing hardball and will likely pull it down from the web – as they own the rights to it and can do so if they please. Whoever this Ted Cockle guy is doesn’t sound too fun!

Also interesting to note – Def Jam is not her main label. She did tell a fan she’s “trying to switch to just Def Jam but cockle is making it hard,” so the “just” would seem to me as if it’s a joint deal, with the main share laying in the Virgin/EMI side. Complicated!

Whatever the case, I hope Iggz can work it out. I’m actually rooting for her now, as she was REALLY kicked while she was down last year!
