Iggy Azalea has had it rough when it comes to the music industry. Although the Australian star has received tons of shade and insults from fans and fellow music industry stars alike, the 25-year-old rapper apparently never expected any drama from her label. After taking a break from the music industry, the rapper is back but now she has yet another problem. The "Fancy" rapper has decided to sound off about her struggles with her label in a Twitter rant against her label president, Ted Cockle, that is getting people talking.

According to The Shade Room, Azalea feels like her back is against the wall when it comes to dealing with her record label. The rapper released a new track "Azillion," often referred to as just "Zillion," in an effort to generate buzz for her upcoming album Digital Distortion. However, the rapper is bumping heads with Ted Cockle, the president of the Virgin/EMI record label. Azalea decided to sound off about her problems with Cockle via Twitter.

"Bad news update: my record label Virgin/EMI seems to feel the response to my viral record "'zillion' wasn't good enough and I'm not allowed a video," Azalea shared on Twitter.

After the tweet, the rapper elaborated on her feeling that the track was amazing but Cockle doesn't want to see her shine. A fan responded suggesting that she just drop her label and she agreed in a tweet that has since been deleted.

"I'm trying to switch to Def Jam but Cockle is making it hard," the rapper tweeted. Although Azalea is signed to Def Jam in The U.S. she is signed to Virgin EMI in the U.K which both are under Universal Music Group.

 

While we can understand being frustrated when it comes to the music, it may not be such a good idea for the rapper to be speaking so harshly about her label president. Rapper T.I. recently decided to part ways with the Azalea after she decided to stir up more drama on Twitter after the Q-Tip beef. Maybe the rapper should watch her words.

What do you guys think? Should Iggy Azalea pick her battles wisely? Was she wrong for ranting about Ted Cockle? Sound off below!
