Iggy Azalea Forced To Postpone 'The Great Escape Tour' Due To Production Issues
Just one month before Iggy Azalea is scheduled to hit the road, the Aussi rapper has been forced to postpone the start of her 'The Great Escape Tour' in the midst of rumours that claim she is not cooperating with her management team.
The Grammy-nominated rapper's tour, which was slated to begin on April 14th in Fresno, California, has been rescheduled "due to tour production delays," according to a statement released by Def Jam Recordings.

"To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this Spring," the record label's statement reads. "It is extremely important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development."
The tour will now begin its North American leg five months later than previously scheduled - on September, 18th, in San Diego, California.

This statement was released a day after The Wrap reported that the tour's future is at risk because Azalea has become "increasingly unresponsive to her management and refuses to engage in promotion." However, a rep for the Grammy-nominated rapper has since told Billboard, "there's no truth to the rumor that there's any conflict between her and her management."
