Iggy Azalea's probably not very popular at her record company right now.

JUST three short years ago, Australian-born rapper Iggy Azalea was one of the hottest names in music.

She had one of the biggest hits of 2014 with the inescapable Fancy, was an in-demand guest star for the likes of Ariana Grande and Britney Spears, and had a platinum-selling debut album under her belt.

Flash forward to 2017, and Azaleas musical fortunes have waned. The three singles shes released so far this year have all failed to set the charts alight her most recent, Switch, debuting at 180 here in Australia. Her oft-delayed second album Digital Distortion was finally due for release at the end of this month, but Azalea now admits even she doesnt know when itll see the light of day.

Taking to her Snapchat account, Azalea let rip with a four-minute rant directed squarely at her record company.

Just wanted to tell you a little story about my album pre-order, because I have no idea when its coming out, she told her followers, using a filter to mask her face and voice.

At first, everyone at my label was like June 2nd, June 2nd! So I told everybody that. But then theyre like, No, we changed our mind, she said.

I was like, OK, whats my album date going to be? June 30th, June 30th. So I did a bunch of interviews on TV, and it seemed like all the reporters knew the date June 30th. I was thinking, yay! They finally got their s**t together! Theyre telling everyone a real date that we can look forward to!

But then I went on Jimmy Fallon and I noticed him saying Digital Distortion, later this month. What does that mean? That cant be good. Theyve backed away from saying a real date.

Azaela says she emailed her record company asking why they were no longer providing a concrete release date for the album.

The reponse she got was, in her words, bulls**t: They said they hadnt done the paperwork so a June 30 release is not going to happen.

She sent another, more aggressive, email.

I guess everybody at that record label just decided to ignore what I had to say, so who knows when my albums coming out. It has been Memorial Day weekend, so theyll probably be partying pretty hard for middle-aged white guys...

I know you guys are sick of it; trust me, Im super sick of it. Im really over it at this point.

Azalea even threatened to provide the address of her record company to fans so they could picket the building together.

Ive really been trying to be sweet and super-professional the last couple of months, but ... Im at my wits end, she said.

At around the same time Azalea was uploading these videos, half-a-dozen tracks from Digital Distortion leaked online leading some fans to suggest it was Azelea herself leaking the songs.

In a new Snapchat video with her album online for all to hear, and having deleted her previous rants a giggling Azalea apologised and announced that shed been on pretty strong meds after having oral surgery.

Digital Distortion is not presently available to pre-order on Australian iTunes.
