Over the past few days, Iggy Azalea has dragged Britney Spears for their failed single. Iggy first said she wasn’t to blame because she was only “featured” on “Pretty Girls.” Iggy has no problem taking credit for her other hit songs, even though she’s never had a solo hit single. Iggy also said some crude stuff and amplified her original complaints by continuing to tweet-whine. After Iggy made a fool of herself, Britney tweeted this very positive message, which a lot of people saw as shade.

Can’t wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to… #YouWantAPieceOfMe

Us Weekly adds more to the story, saying Iggy was a complete diva on the set of the “Pretty Girls” video. She allegedly ordered Britney to do her bidding:

[I]t turns out, the Australian rapper was always quite vocal about the collaboration. An insider exclusively reveals to Us Weekly that Azalea “was difficult” while shooting the song’s music video.

“Iggy was difficult with respect to direction of [the] video. Everyone just got fed up and didn’t want to deal with it. Britney, being a veteran artist, was tired of arguing,” the source tells Us, noting that Spears decided to do the track after Azalea’s team introduced her to it.

A second source notes: “‘Pretty Girls’ was Britney’s song and video but Iggy totally took it over as if it was hers. Iggy ordered everyone — including Britney — around as if she was directing the video.”

The second insider adds that Azalea, who’s just featured on the song, also decided on the single’s artwork. (The first source says that the artwork was “mutually agreed upon” but the rapper wanted RCA to re-release it to show that it’s a collaboration.)

Is this story true? Perhaps. Britney has been in the business long enough that she probably didn’t even care what Iggy did. Brit was simply fulfilling her end of a business deal. What’s interesting about all this drama is that T.I. is keeping his mouth shut. He usually defends Iggy, but not this time.

Yesterday, Iggy had more to say on Twitter because her team isn’t smart enough to change the password. She fired off many tweets about how everything is fine with Britney:

(1) Iam honestly not surprised but still really saddened that the media is trying to create a “beef” between @britneyspears and myself.

(2) 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?

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

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

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

(6) 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! ^.^”

(7) 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.

(8) And to all freelance bloggers: YOURE WELCOME. im back on twitter connecting with my fans; so you have tons to twist and get paid off again.

Once again, Iggy’s deflecting blame. She’s holding the media responsible for starting a “feud” and doesn’t realize how crappy her own remarks sounded. And she gave a shoutout to the bloggers too! Right back at ya, Ig.
