Though Iggy Azalea's most recent album was called The End Of An Era and she's flirted with retiring from music before, she isn't quite done yet. Last year she shared a new single called "Money Come" which racked up more than 3 million streams on Spotify. The hilarious music video that accompanied the song has racked up 6 million views of its own. She shared a remix of the song a few months later featuring new verses from Ivorian Doll and Big Boss Vette.
Since then she's mostly shared updates with fans through Instagram. The most recent is an update on her new favorite color, and she chose a pretty enticing way to reveal it. "Green just does it for me lately" she captioned a scintillating picture of herself in a green bikini. In a second photo, she shows her love for the color even more by sporting a pair of fuzzy green slides. Unsurprisingly, fans rushed to the comments to show her love. "Green like all the money you’re getting!!! LETSGOOOO" and "We Stan a career woman in GREEN! happy women’s history month… you are a golden star" two of the top comments on the post read. Check out the new thirst traps she shared below.
In the past few months, Iggy Azalea has been increasingly vocal online in some of her criticisms of Playboi Carti. The pair have a child together, but Iggy has been a critic of Carti's absent parenting for years now. Back in December she just straight up accused the rapper of being an absent father, something he never felt the need to refute or address much at all.
Earlier this year, Iggy once again claimed that she was retiring from music and she's stuck to it so far. She regularly shares updates on how things are going with her fans on social media. But none of that has come with any indication that new music could be on the way. What do you think of Iggy Azalea's new stunning bikini pics? Do you think green works on her as well as she claims? Let us know in the comment section below.

Soft Play‘s Laurie Vincent has launched a new band, Big Truck. Check out their first single, ‘Central Reservation Blues’, below.
Big Truck sees Vincent joined by Sam Coppins on drums, Asa Thallon on guitar and Justin Myles on keys.
‘Central Reservation Blues’ comes from an upcoming debut album, though no title or release date has currently been announced.
Departing from the raw, frenetic sounds of Soft Play, the song embraces heartland rock and 80s indie music, drawing on inspiration from The Cure and The Smiths.
Speaking on the track, Vincent says: “I missed my partner’s birthday and my son’s birthday when I was in America. I’m no good at numbers, and I tend to miss those details when we’ve got a big touring operation and things are booked a year in advance. Those birthdays I missed will be remembered forever, whereas I can’t even remember those gigs that I played.”
Listen below.
Big Truck is formed around Vincent and Coppin’s longtime friendship, with the two meeting as part of the Tunbridge Wells music scene 20 years ago.
They’ll play a series of live dates later this year, including a performance at The Great Escape in May. Check out a full list below and find tickets here.

NME met Soft Play backstage at Reading Festival last year, where they shared details on their new album and hailed Kneecap for inspiring them to speak about Palestine.
“We took too long to come to the forefront, but then going on tour with Kneecap in the US and watching three of the most eloquent people I’ve ever met talk about it onstage fearlessly and educate us, and show that standing up for people that don’t have a voice is so purposeful… The media makes you believe we’re gonna lose everything if we do it, as well, when the reality is the people in the crowd are there with you,” Vincent told us.
