Iggy Azalea has accused Universal Music Group (UMG) of withholding millions of dollars in unpaid royalties, taking to social media to demand what she claims is rightfully hers.
The Australian rapper, known for her 2014 smash hit “Fancy,” claimed in a series of posts on X on Saturday, claiming that UMG has failed to pay her international royalties throughout her career.
She further revealed that UMG attempted to settle the matter with a payout far below what she believes she is owed.
Azalea signed with Island Def Jam under the UMG umbrella in 2013 before moving to Island Records and eventually parting ways with the company in 2018.
Despite her departure, she claims that the label has continued to withhold her earnings, particularly from outside the United States.
Beyond her own case, Azalea expanded her criticism to UMG’s treatment of artists in general.
UMG has not publicly responded to Azalea’s accusations. However, this is not the first time the label has faced allegations of withholding royalties.
