Iggy Azalea recently made a shocking disclosure, revealing that the abuse she received on the internet go to her so much that she wanted to end her life.

Speaking to Power 106 FM, the 25-year-old actress revealed that she was so disturbed about the tremendous backlash over alleged "cultural appropriation" that it was affecting her career, adding that she was really terrified that she had have to leave America, TMZ.com reports.

The singer further said that the jabs about her music and her race, from both people within showbiz and outside the circuit made her suicidal, adding "Sometimes I did. Sometimes I would drive through the canyons to get to my horses and I would be like, 'What if I just kept driving off the canyon?' Sometimes I would feel like that.

However, she said it was her fiance Nick Young, who helped her through the difficult time.
