Iggy Azalea Calls UMG 'Criminals,' Claims They Owe Her Millions

It appears that Drake isn't the only person who has issues with Universal Music Group, so does Iggy Azalea. Over the weekend, the Aussie rapper said that she sicced her lawyer on the company and called them super shady.

Crazy how in my entire career I was never paid a single royalty by universal music for anything outside of the USA.
They owe me millions of dollars in back pay, that they technically stole from me, as per my contract Iam due payment.

"Crazy how in my entire career I was never paid a single royalty by universal music for anything outside of the USA," tweeted Iggy. "They owe me millions of dollars in back pay, that they technically stole from me, as per my contract I am due payment. The amount owed is in the 8 figure range. Last week they tried to respond to my lawyer and offer me a settlement of 18k."

“I’m told this is a normal response from their lawyers and after appearing in court they end up paying millions as they’re supposed to," her message continued. "Thankfully I’m well off and can and will pursue this issue until they pay me what they owe. But I’d like to publicly say that I think universal music are criminals who actively take advantage of ALL of their artists in perpetuity for their own gain ... They are the scummiest company and they do this to SO MANY artists who unfortunately can’t afford to fight for what they’re owed thus they get away with this behavior."

UMG hasn't responded publicly to Iggy yet. But they did file new court docs yesterday to get Drake's defamation suit over "Not Like Us" tossed out.

Do you think Iggy is in for a big payday?
