Iggy Azalea Stirs Up Controversy Over Tweets About Her Britney Spears Collab, 'Pretty Girls'

Iggy Azalea doesn't seem too happy with Britney Spears over the success, or lack thereof, of their track, "Pretty Girls."

During a Twitter Q&A session on Sunday, Azalea appeared to throw shade at Spears over the minimal promotion of their duet, which dropped in May and peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

@rhuancesarr its difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately im just featured...

@rhuancesarr i would have enjoyed performing it alot, i think it got off to a powerful start. but you need content to compete in 2015.

The rapper's remarks about the duet came after a Twitter user posted: "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." 

When a pop music fan board shared Azalea's tweets and accused her of shading Spears, the Australia native shot back. 

@ThePopZone my comment is factual, it applies to any song. I dont have to suck the womans asshole 24/7 to be her friend, do i? bye girls.

She then called out the press for skewing her comments. 

@itsGsusBitch im not attacking anyone. all i said was: i wish we had promoted more but thats out of my control. shes a good friend.

@ladypatraxcx could have said "iggy would have liked to promote PG more" or "iggy thinks more promo would have helped PGs position"

Last month, at the Billboard Music Awards Azalea gushed about getting to work with the pop star. 

"It's not something that I ever anticipated happening ... And I didn't know I'd end up making such a crossover mesh of pop and rap where that would be a collaboration that would be possible," she said. "In the last two years I kind of transitioned my style so much to where that could be plausible. So I didn't when I was younger, but it's really quite surreal."
