Iggy Azalea Wants Record Labels To Make It ‘Mandatory’ To Hire Psychologists

Iggy Azalea is speaking up about mental health in the entertainment world. In a series of tweets, the 31-year-old rapper spoke about how record labels should provide mental health care to their artists. Iggy Azalea tweeted,

“I REALLY WISH record labels would all agree to make it mandatory to hire at least ONE 

psychologist per label. 

Almost EVERY artist in recent times has expressed struggling with the level of hate & pressure. 

Sports teams do it for their athletes, why not music labels?”

Iggy Azalea (real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly) also mentions Rob Stringer, the CEO of Sony Music Entertainment, and questions why he hasn’t pushed to make mental health care a priority. 

Mental health has been at the forefront lately because of public figures like Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles making their mental health a priority.
