Back in March, it was announced that Azalea had postponed her original summer "Great Escape" tour for the fall due to tour production issues.
Azalea's record label, Def Jam Recordings, released a statement back in March announcing the cancellation of Azalea's "The Great Escape Tour" just a month before it was scheduled to begin.
Def Jam Recordings named "tour production delays" as the reason for Azalea's surprising tour cancellation. "To accommodate for creative team availability and tour production plans, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this Spring," Def Jam said in a statement to Billboard. "It is important to Iggy that she delivers the show she envisaged to share with her fans and that requires more time in development."
Azalea's tour was then scheduled to commence on Sept. 18 in San Diego, California but her opening acts Nick Jonas and Tinashe backed out of the tour due to their conflicting schedules.
Unfortunately I'm not able to join the rescheduled Great Escape Tour, but you will still get to see me this spring, details coming!

Unfortunately I won't be participating in the Great Escape Tour, but I would never disappoint - I WILL be on tour THIS summer! DETAILS SOON! — Tinashe (@Tinashe) March 10, 2015
Following Azalea's abrupt tour cancellation, media outlets such as The Wrap claimed that there was a rift between Azalea and her management team.
Def Jam Recordings released a statement insisting "there's no truth to the rumor that there's any conflict between her and her management."
