Iggy Azaleawill never stop fighting.
The Australian rapper, whoreleased her second album in July— her first in five years — opened up about the importance of never backing down when it comes to your career in the September issue ofCosmopolitan.
“You get as many shots as you are able to persevere for in life, no matter what you do. You get as many chances as you’re willing to sit there and f— really fight for it tooth and nail,” Azalea, 29, toldCosmopolitan. “And I’m not going to stop fighting for a second chance until somebody f—ing gives me one, and then I’m not going to f— it up.”
Although Azalea is determined to make the most out of the chances she’s given, she has no plans to compromise her own integrity.
“I’m still going to make the same type of music and still be ridiculous and larger than life,” she said. “So I can’t be that f—ing sorry about it.”
Reflecting on her rapid ascent to fame, Azalea toldCosmopolitanthat the experience “was very overwhelming.”
“You’re suddenly mega f—ing famous within a few months,” she said.
Looking back on the person she was at the time, Azalea admits she’s grown up a lot.
“There’s a part of me that doesn’t necessarily dispute everything I’ve said. But I definitely feel like,Who the f— is that person?” she said. “It’s that time in your life when you thinkI’m a real grown-up and I knoweverything,and you can’t tell me s—.”
“The older I get the less I f—ing know about anything,” she added.
The release of Azalea’s latest albumIn My Defenseis a long time coming for the Australian star, whose long-gestating sophomore effortDigital Distortionnever saw the light of day.
“[My second album has] become a bit of an urban myth,” shejoked to PEOPLEin 2017.
Celebrating her new release on Twitter, the star wrote that she “fought really f—ing hard” to make it.
“I did exactly how I wanted to,” she wrote, as she thanked her fans for never giving up on her.

Showing off her sense of humor, ahead of the release, Azaleastarted a hilarious feudwith cartoon character Peppa Pig, the titular star of the British animated children’s series, after it was announced that they were bothcoming out with albums on the same day.
In response to the news about Peppa’s release, the rapper tweeted, “It’s over for me now.”
Although Peppa promptly responded, revealing she’s a fan of the star, Azalea went on to jokinglythreaten the cartoon character.
“Collab with me now or you’ll end up a breakfast special Peppa,” she tweeted.
