Iggy Azalea has always openly supported the LGBT community, but this week the past came back to haunt her.

Iggy was scheduled to perform at the Pittburgh Pride Festival, but the Austraalian rapper confirmed on Twitter that she would not be taking to the stage as planned the Saturday.

The reason? Because of previous Tweets she sent which have been interpreted as homophobic.

The posts in question include the star saying she thinks its "kinda homo" when guys whisper in each other's ears, but were uploaded prior to her finding fame.

Iggy told followers: "I am a firm believer in equality. Unfortunately in the past as a young person, I used words I should not have. The last thing I want is for something so carelessly said to be interpreted as reflective of my character."

"I meant no harm and deeply regret ever uttering those words. As an adult I would never use them because I understand they play a detrimental role in the fight for issues that I do truly believe in."

And certainly, the 25-year-old has apologised to anyone she has upset.

"I am sorry to anyone who I have offended or disappointed and I wish all my fans and friends participating in Pride the best of luck," she added.

This isn't the only show Iggy has cancelled recently; last month she also pulled the plug on her The Great Escape tour. The dates were slated to take place in the autumn, but Iggy told Seventeen magazine that she'd had "a different creative change of heart".

As u may know, the tour is cancelled. I'm so sad and sorry to let my fans down…we'll be back out on the road when the next album is done.
