Iggy Azalea Reveals A Back Surgery She Thought Would Be ‘Mundane’ Left Her On Bed Rest For 3 Weeks: I Ended Up Being Hooked Up To A Million Machines & In So Much Pain
Iggy Azalea (real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly) has had to put a pause on her career moves because of health complications.
The Australian rapper took to Twitter on Monday (Nov. 28) to share that she was scheduled to travel to her native country to work on a film. However, her plans took a sharp turn following what she thought would be a “mundane surgery” to fix issues stemming from touring for two consecutive summers with a serious injury.
Iggy Azalea said,
“Wanna hear a crazy story? I was supposed to travel to Australia and film a movie. Right before I left I had what I thought would be a rather mundane surgery on my back to fix the issues I had after touring two summers in a row on an injury…”
She added,
“It didn’t end up being very mundane because I had complications with my recovery. I ended up being hooked up to a million machines and in so much pain. There are about three days I actually just can’t remember at all.”
For three weeks, Iggy Azalea claimed that outside of going to the bathroom, she didn’t walk, which she called “a whole other ordeal.” The mother of one just received permission to get up and start moving again last week and she anticipates regaining her normal mood by Christmas. She said,
“I’ve been seeing someone daily at the house and we do lil workout (they are so sad y’all lol). I’ve been getting back strong. I will recover to 100%.”
It’s been a “very mentally challenging” experience overall, she added, but she’s happy to be healing and to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
While she is unable to fly or go on any vacations, for the time being, the rapper ended her story with a very important reminder. She said:
“Stay healthy everyone and pay attention to what your body is telling you! I’ll let you know how it’s all going in a few more weeks.”
Iggy recently revealed that she sold her music catalog for an eight-figure sum, putting herself in a situation where she wouldn’t need to work again if she didn’t want to. However, she has been hinting that she’s working on a number of significant projects, including a new album with rumored boo Tory Lanez serving as executive producer.
