Iggy Azalea Blasts Record Label for Selling Old Photo Shoot Images



The beef between Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea may be over, but it looks like the ‘Black Widow’ rapper might be starting a new one — this time with the Australian division of her record label.
According to a series of tweets earlier today (Oct. 16), Iggy called out the label for selling a photo taken during an old Complex magazine photo shoot to Maxim Australia without consulting her first.
Im going to publicly say something to the australian division of my record label right now because my message seems to be ignored privately.

stop giving permission on my behalf for magazines to purchase images of me that have already been printed in major publications for covers.

australian label, i love you guys but you allowed my image to be sold to cosmo Aus when i told you i would prefer for that not to happen.

and now this morning i see you've allowed maxim australia to buy an image from a 2011 complex mag shoot and put it on the cover.

i think its awesome anyone would want me on the cover of a magazine, but theres a right way to make that happen and the australian label

clearly aren't respecting my wishes. a magazine cover deserves an accompanying photoshoot not a reused image.

The photo Iggy is referring to is a shot in which she’s wearing a metallic gold one-piece swimsuit that only covers her lady parts. The image was featured in Complex’s 10th Anniversary issue in 2012.
The same photo is used as the cover image of Maxim Australia’s Hot 100 list — Iggy has topped the magazine’s list. The only difference between the images is the background color. It’s gold in Maxim while Complex uses a light blue.
While Maxim Australia did use the image, Iggy doesn’t blame the magazine but only wishes she could could have done a proper shoot with them.
maxim australia, thanks for the love and I'm sorry no one asked me. i would have love to have given an interview & done a shoot with u guys

Her record label and Maxim Australia have yet to comment on the matter.
