Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has revealed that she likely suffered from a slipped disk in the back after a neck injury on her North American tour. The artist, who has recently been complaining of neck pains, reportedly injured herself during a live performance on September 28 in Michigan.

Iggy Azalea had sworn off music in 2021 after facing backlash from fans
In 2021, Iggy Azalea announced that she will be retiring from music. The singer faced backlash for alleged blackfishing following the release of her single, I am the Stripclub.
The term ‘Blackfishing’ is used in reference to white women who pretend to be black through a combination of makeup, traditionally black hairstyles and fashion. Fans speculated that Azalea had attempted to darken her skin tone, for which she received criticism. The singer had however denied the accusations and called them ridiculous.
In August this year, however, the singer announced her return to the music career and said, "I'm coming back" in a lengthy Twitter post.
She further added:
“I’m not gonna talk about dates, direction, or anything, just know it’s happening and there will be a budget.”
The artist also shared that she would release everything under her own label, Bad Dreams. Although there have not been many details about the kind of music Azalea would release, she assured her fans that she would release new music in the near future.
