Iggy Azalea has never been one to shy away from taking risks and pushing boundaries. The Australian rapper turned entrepreneur has made a name for herself by thinking outside the box and venturing into uncharted territories.
At 34, Iggy has seemingly retired from music and OnlyFans to focus on expanding her $200M crypto empire with the recent launch of her memecoin, Mother Iggy, aka $MOTHER on the Solana blockchain. This bold move has cemented her status as a trailblazer in the tech and telecommunications sectors.
“Growing as an artist and entrepreneur is always challenging and can be scary, but it’s also such a necessary part of life,” Iggy said. “I think I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart, even in my music career. I’ve always taken charge of the business side as well as the creative. I see creativity and business as two sides of the same coin, and the goal is to let them inform each other. At its core, business innovation is another channel of creativity.”
Azalea, who boasts 28.8M social media followers, has also taken on the role of creative director and co-founder of the relaunched Unreal Mobile, which integrates the $MOTHER token as a payment option. The four-time Grammy nominee is committed to making Unreal Mobile sustainable by encouraging users to recycle old devices and offering paperless billing and electronic SIM cards.
When asked for advice, Iggy shared, “Stay true to your vision, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Embrace challenges and view them as opportunities.” Her entrepreneurial spirit is an inspiration to many, and her willingness to take risks is a testament to her innovative approach to business.
Last month, Azalea announced the launch of her new podcast, Mother Knows Best, through The Volume, where she’ll be interviewing chart-topping musicians and trailblazing CEOs. “I’m excited to start filming Mother Knows Best and stirring the pot in the way only I can,” Iggy said. “For a long time now, I feel conversations in pop culture have become stagnant and overly cautious. I can’t wait to start a fire and blaze a trail with The Volume.”
On the personal front, Azalea is solely raising her four-year-old son, Onyx Carter, from her on/off two-year relationship with Grammy nominee Playboi Carti, which ended acrimoniously in 2020.
With her latest ventures, Iggy Azalea is proving that she’s not afraid to think outside the box and challenge the status quo. Her entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and willingness to take risks are an inspiration to many, and her success is a testament to her innovative approach to business.
