First things first,Iggy Azaleais the realest when it comes to reaching her career goals.
On Thursday — just hours after the"Fancy"emcee and rapper Bhad Bhabie took theirsocial media battle face-to-faceat the Fashion Nova xCardi Bcollection launch event — Azalea announced she had signed a lucrative new record deal worth $2.7 million, laughing that “some” (possibly referring to the 15-year-old rapper)“thought it was over!”
“Proud to say I literally just signed my new deal/partnership!”she wrote. “2.7mil, can sign others, own my masters + 100% independent – I’m feeling like such a bossy grown ass bitch today! Time to get back to ME. I’m so grateful & excited…Cheers!”
The news comes after Azaleaannounced via social mediaearlier this month that she had parted ways with Island Records and was “officially unsigned!”
“Wild you spend so long trying to get IN a record deal… never thought I’d be so elated to be OUT of one,” she wrote on Twitter on Nov. 3. “Now I’m free to release whatever kinda music I like, whenever I’d like woooo!”
However, the"Black Widow"rapper, 28, is waiting for the fresh new year to share her tracks.
“Well still no music this year tho… I am no where near ready direction wise etc with the stuff I’ve been working on and I don’t wanna jump the gun and have some messy era aesthetically,” shewrote. “I’m aiming to be ready to share new music early next year!”
But Azalea isn’t letting anyone knock her down during this exciting time in her life. The ongoing feud between Iggy Azalea and Bhad Bhabie kicked into high gear on Wednesday night, when both crossed paths at the clothing launch party at Boulevard3 in Los Angeles.
According to Azalea, Bhabie — known for her viral appearance onDr. Philand her “Cash Me Outside” catchphrase — threw a drink on Azalea at the party, soaking half of her blonde locks.

While reps for Azalea and Bhabie did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment, both were very vocal about their feelings on social media.
“Don’t talk s— on the Internet Iggy. U a bitch just mad a 15 year old outsold ur ass. NEXT,” Bhabie wrote on her Instagram story. “Glad u left wit a bag cuz u certainly ain’t making no money from music anymore.”
“So the Dr. Phil girl is really upset about me apparently and thought I’d fight a child?!” she added. “LOL Anyway! The fashion nova party is LIT!”
“Imagine me scrambling around the floor in a dirty night club trying to hit a teenage girl. Girl. NO. I’m grown and will simply have you REMOVED and continue enjoying myself,” Azalea wrote on Twitter in a since-then deleted Tweet. “#YouNotSpecial. Anything else from her mouth is ignored — it’s too preschool for me.”
Later, while driving home, Azalea continued joking about the incident on her Instagram story.
“I get that this little girl has made a name for herself acting a d— fool on television and online, but I’m a grown up. I’m not about to waste my energy on that s—, or be fighting a kid in a club,” the “Fancy” rapper said. She added, “I came to get a check. I left with a check. You left with your bag stuffed over there. And you look silly. I’m not going to be scrambling around on the floor for a 15-year-old girl on the Internet.”
“I have to laugh,” she said. “I don’t know. I just think people want clout really bad. Mama, good luck with your career. You’re young. You’re going to look back on this and you’re going to really feel dumb. I don’t know. I just think that s—’s lame as hell. But maybe it’s because I’m a grown up. I don’t know. Anyway good night y’all. I’m going home. I’m tired.”
