Tory Lanez defended working with Iggy Azalea after a Twitter user questioned his decision. He referenced her sales in response.
“She has 65 MILLION RECORDS SOLD,” he wrote. “COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT ….. And went DIAMOND CERTIFIED with her FIRST RECORD …… WHY NOT IGGY?”

Last year, Iggy Azalea claimed she was stepping away from music. She planned to go on a hiatus following the release of her End of an Era album.
“I am going to take a few years to focus on other creative projects and things I’m feeling passionate and inspired by, beyond music,” she said.
Earlier this year, Iggy Azalea changed her mind and promised to return in 2023. Now, Tory Lanez will be in her corner if his legal issues don’t prevent him from doing so.
