Iggy Azalea may have had a rough 2015, but she's starting 2016 with a fresh perspective and rejuvenated outlook.

"I think the biggest lesson I learned is that people are going to say what they’re going to say," she tells Elle Canada. "And it’s really hard not to get emotional or become overly sensitive about other people’s opinions, especially if you feel like they’re wrong. But I think I spent a lot of energy last year trying to explain my side of the story because I thought ‘If you could just understand my side, surely you’d agree with me.’ But some people aren’t ever going to agree with you—and that’s just life.”

She delved into the beef with Azealia Banks, which she claims was something that occurred before Black Lives Matter.

So when I dismissed her, people started to think that I dismissed the whole movement," she said, "but I wasn’t trying to dismiss Black Lives Matter—I was trying to dismiss her because it’s our personal shit. I don’t think the subject matter of her tweet was invalid; I just think it was emotionally charged and driven by something else, and the whole thing got so misconstrued. I just wish I had acknowledged the issue head-on because it made people think I don’t care about what’s going on socially and what’s happening in America, and I do care. Even though I still hate Azealia Banks, I wish I had said it in a way that didn’t make people think I was oblivious to the movement. And I wish I hadn’t gotten into a fight with Papa John’s!”

Moving forward, Iggy is getting ready to release her new album, Digital Distortion. So be sure to look out for that one, and she's back on social media!

"... I realized that there are people out there who do support me and want to interact with me online, and I shouldn’t let other people take that away from me and my fans,”  she explained.
