Iggy Azalea Denies Britney Spears Fight

Skip navigation!

Iggy Azalea has gone on a Twitter tirade in response to reports that she and Britney Spears have fallen out. Though the Australian rapper clearly seems disappointed that her "Pretty Girls" collaborator didn't do more to promote the song, she insists that that doesn't mean the two musicians are feuding. Azalea also claims that she hasn't said anything negative about Spears. Some might argue that writing, "I don't have to suck the woman's asshole 24/7 to be her friend," isn't the best way to endear yourself to a pal, but never mind. Azalea posted a stream of tweets to share her side of the story.

Iam honestly not surprised but still really saddened that the media is trying to create a "beef" between @britneyspears and myself.

We remain friends and i haven't said anything negative at all about her. Does wishing we had promoted a single more make me the bad guy?

i feel like the media wants women in music to get out and mud wrestle each other. As a woman i take great offense.

Women in the media should be able to have a grown up and subjective opinion without it being anything more than that. its disappointing.

No one is throwing "shade" or "shots" on either side of the table. The girl is my friend and i support her 100%.

i feel like the press just wants to see girls be overtly sexual to one another, and have no real opinion other than "i love it! ^.^"
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) June 30, 2015

Im over it. Women in music are not the same as a teen drama. Stop making us all out to be, we are business women & artists. Not mean girls.
— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) June 30, 2015

We don't doubt that the media would love to see these two duke it out and has been amping up the tension with speculation, but Azalea isn't exactly blameless. She chose to make her comments public, and tweeting more only seems to be adding further fuel to the fire. If she had an issue to address with Spears, as a friend, Azalea could have dealt with it one-on-one. Continuing to draw attention to the matter certainly isn't defusing the situation. (Billboard)
