Iggy Azalea Explains Show Interruption in Saudi Arabia Due to Wardrobe Malfunction with Split Pants

Iggy Azalea • Saudi Arabia: Iggy Azalea is sharing the reasons behind the abrupt end of her recent performance in Saudi Arabia. During her headline performance at the Gamers8 e-sports event in Boulevard Riyadh City, the 33-year-old rapper suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction when her pants split open. This unexpected incident led to local authorities preventing her from completing her show, as she revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Addressing her fans in Saudi Arabia, Azalea expressed her love and apologized for not being able to finish her performance due to the wardrobe mishap. She emphasized that the event's promoters were not at fault and praised them as "amazing people" who, like her, wanted the show to continue. However, it was the intervention of the authorities that led to the show's early conclusion.

Responding to a fan's question about why she couldn't simply change her pants, Azalea clarified that she did attempt to swap her pants but also made a comment during her performance that triggered a reaction from the authorities. She explained that saying, "Ladies make some noise, it’s a woman’s world," was the comment that led to the authorities intervening. She stressed that she bears no ill feelings towards the event organizers or the authorities, as it was beyond their control.

Azalea also shared a video clip of the wardrobe malfunction on Instagram, along with an image of her torn pants. Although these posts have since been removed, she reportedly commented that the incident was not what she had intended for the show. She expressed gratitude for the kindness, love, and support she received from fans during such an embarrassing moment.

Videos shared by fan accounts on X capture the moment when Azalea's pants split while she was squatting on stage. Afterward, she can be seen shaking her head and pointing towards someone offstage.

Reflecting on the incident, Azalea humorously mentioned on X that she had considered wearing latex for a future performance but was now reconsidering after what happened to her pants.

In addition to her music career, Azalea has been balancing motherhood. She recently celebrated her 3-year-old son Onyx's first day of preschool, whom she shares with her ex Playboi Carti.

In a previous interview in 2021, Azalea discussed how she manages her role as a mother and her career, including her cosmetic line, Totally Plastic. She acknowledged the challenges of juggling multiple responsibilities but found it fulfilling. She expressed respect for all working moms, recognizing the difficulties of balancing various aspects of life while pursuing one's goals. She also highlighted the satisfaction of knowing that her projects are something her son can one day be proud of.
