Is Iggy Azalea collaborating with Tinashe? Fans speculate after rapper teases single 'DLNW'

Although Azalea has not revealed who will be featuring in her latest single slated for an August 21 release, which has kept the fans guessing after she dropped the teaser picture

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea is ready to rock the world of rap with her new project that is slated to release on August 21. The singer-songwriter and model has teased her fandom with a pictorial snippet from her new project, which may as well be a music video, to give a sneak peek about who will be featuring in the production. The 'Fancy' hitmaker shared the picture on Twitter late on Thursday, August 13, which portrays characters donning white shimmer gowns and wearing feather crowns. The picture features the words 'DLNW, 21 August 2020', hinting that it might just be the title of the song.

One of the leading ladies in the picture is seen holding what resembles a sword while another character is seen in high heeled and elegant stilettos sitting in a deep neck and off-shoulder white gown on the floor. The enigmatic picture does not clearly showcase the true faces behind the characters, which makes for the perfect teaser as it leaves fans guessing. Azalea has not yet revealed who will be featuring in her latest song, which has further upped fans' excitement, with many of them guessing that it might be singer-songwriter and dancer Tinashe. Fans are speculating that the album might be a collaboration as Azalea has previously featured in many other music icons' videos in her joint projects. She signed a recording contract with rapper T.I.'s label Grand Hustle after the release of her debut mixtape, ‘Ignorant Art’ in 2011. The ‘Two Times’ star was seen dazzling in Ariana Grande’s single ‘Problem’ that peaked at number two behind ‘Fancy’ in 2014 Billboard Hot 100 charts.

Azalea equaled The Beatles' record as the only artistes to rank number one and two in Hot 100 entries. The artiste has carved a niche for herself in the industry which is why her fans eagerly await her every album and single. After she dropped the teaser, her fans took to Twitter to express their excitement. “Tinashe is confirmed on Azalea’s new lead single as she is seen on the cover art. “DLNW” out August 21!” wrote a fan, though the confirmation of collab is not yet out. 

“YESSS independent queens coming to dominate,” wrote another. 

“Iggy Azalea ft. Tinashe - DLNW. NEXT FRIDAY!!! AUGUST 21!!!” tweeted an excited fan. 

“IGGY IS COMING. DANCE LIKE NO ONE'S WATCHING IS COMING!!!” wrote another fan.

“I would absolutely die if it was omg I love them”, wrote a fan in excitement over the collab. 

But since the picture is not clear, many fans are confused about the star who is featuring with Azalea. “I have no idea who this is,” wrote a fan.  

Since her debut album 'The New Classic' released in 2014, Azalea has sold over 48 million records worldwide with two million singles in the US alone. She has won many accolades for her electrifying performances which include two American Music Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, a People's Choice Award, four Teen Choice Awards, and four Grammy nominations.
