The release date of Iggy Azalea's debut album has been pushed back until March 2014.
'The New Classic' was due for release later this month, but has now been postponed - much to the frustration of the Australian rapper.
"The official date? F**ked if I know!" she said in an interview news.com.au. "It's done, it's so depressing to say this but it's the beginning of March, it's so far away but I just have to accept that.
"It was supposed to be October but obviously I'm going on tour with Beyoncé and they said I'm not allowed to put an album out while I'm on tour because I'll be trapped in Australia and I won't be able to do any TV appearances and I thought that's fair enough, that's three weeks, and then they said, 'You can't put an album out around Christmas time, that's a bad time' and I said, 'What about January?'"
She continued: "[They said] 'Well nobody gets back off holidays and then it's the Brit Awards, you can't release an album, it's terrible for marketing', which brings me to February. The marketing team gets to control me unfortunately, I don't get to control that."

The star joins Beyonce on the Australian leg of her Mrs Carter tour later this year, and claims joining the 'Single Ladies' star on the road will mean she avoids the sexual slurs she has previously been hit with. Speaking to Gigwise last month, she candidly expressed her frustration at the unfair allegations.
"Obviously I was really excited and happy," she said, when asked about joining Beyonce on tour. "I kind of felt honestly like, finally someone that [the press] won't be able to say I had sex with to get it.
"I just feel like everything I do, people are always like 'She probably had sex with someone to get that... she's probably sucking that dick.' Honestly, I swear to God I've never sucked anyone's dick for anything," the 'Bounce' rapper added. "I've only ever sucked dick for free. I've only ever given free blowjobs. I've never given a blowjob for anything other than I've wanted to give that guy a blowjob."
"They won't be able to say I gave Beyonce a blowjob, so, yes! You can't discredit me for this... she likes me, and she invited me, so, so there. Take that."
