Iggy Azalea just released a long string of tweets to respond to the media’s coverage of her and Britney Spears‘ rumored feud.
The 25-year-old rapper decided to speak out after she has been pitted against Britney following the comments she made about the failure of their song “Pretty Girls.”
Britney then tweeted about being excited to have concerts scheduled through the end of the year, which many have taken as her throwing shade at Iggy, whose concert tour was canceled.
“Iam honestly not surprised but still really saddened that the media is trying to create a “beef” between @britneyspears and myself,” Iggy started off her string of tweets.

Iggy Azalea is not holding back her feelings after a fan tweeted that her song “Pretty Girls” with Britney Spears was a flop.
The 25-year-old rapper is blaming poor promotion of the song as the reason for why it peaked at just number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“even if PG flopped a little bit still getting a lot of views on YT and it’s the summer anthem of 2015, so whatever we love you,” the fan wrote with a positive spin.
Here is how Iggy responded: “its difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately im just featured… i would have enjoyed performing it alot, i think it got off to a powerful start. but you need content to compete in 2015.”
Britney and Iggy performed the song last month at the Billboard Music Awards in Vegas.

The 24-year-old rapper, who just got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Nick Young, has some free time after canceling her fall tour.
Iggy has already spoken out to explain why the tour was canceled and now people from her team are weighing in as well.
“As we were not able to fill the support slots on the tour in the fall, due to so many artists already having commitments and working this summer, we had not advertised or promoted the new shows since last winter,” AEG Live VP Debra Rathwell told Billboard. “The dates were selling well and were going to do fine… Iggy is a star and a great performer. I’ve met her and spent some time with her and she is a really smart, interesting young woman. As I’ve already said, AEG LIVE is committed to her and will be working with her on her new tour.”
“The lines of communication between Iggy, myself, and her [Turn First] managers Sarah [Stennett] and Nadia [Khan] have always been open,” CAA agent Cara Lewis said. “Iggy is an incredibly talented and creative artist with a clear vision, which she continuously shares with myself and her management team.”

Iggy Azalea is opening up about why she really cancelled her Great Escape Tour, which was scheduled for this Fall.
“I’ve had a different creative change of heart. I want to start totally anew, and if I stayed on my tour, that would mean I wouldn’t even be able to start working on that until after Christmas,” the 24-year-old rapper told Seventeen mag. “On top of that, mentally, to be honest with you, I just feel I deserve a break. I’ve been going non-stop for the past two years, nearly every single day. I’m not in a bad place. I think sometimes when you say you need a mental break, people are like, ‘A mental break? Be sure you don’t have a breakdown because you’re sad.’ No, not necessarily. It’s very emotionally draining to be on all the time and going all the time, planning all the time.”
