Azalea, who originally signed with Def Jam back in 2013, left the label early this year after reported tensions surfaced following poor sales and her second album Digital Distortion was previously scrapped. Both Def Jam and Island Records are owned by Universal Music Group.*photo: By Laura Murray \[[CC BY 2.0 ](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0?ref=hypebot.com)\], [via Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Iggy%5FAzalea%5F-%5FIrving%5FPlaza,%5FNew%5FYork%5FCity.jpg?ref=hypebot.com)*– [CelebrityAccess](https://celebrityaccess.com/?ref=hypebot.com)
