The Independent UK: Iggy Azalea has called quits on Twitter after dramatically describing the internet as “the ugliest reflection of mankind there isâ€.
The Australian rapper has been mercilessly trolled many times before and what with those Azealia Banks, Snoop Dogg and Eminem feuds too, she fears the online world is making her too “angryâ€.
Not one to leave quietly, however, Azalea launched into an epic tirade against the Twittersphere before handing the accounts over to her management.
This all began when the 24-year-old returned from a holiday with her boyfriend to find that paparazzi pictures had been taken of her in her bikini.
Just got back from a great vacation, came online and saw apparently it’s shocking and unheard of to be a woman and have cellulite. Lol.

I just want to have peace and relaxation time without a perve with long distance lense hiding out taking pictures, everyone deserves peace.

I feel the hatred and pettiness i see online at all times is at making me become an angry person and I cannot be that.

To become nasty because of the way I feel iam treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling.

But I also want to let my fans know iam taking some time away from social media. I need to be happy and it is too negative and draining.

My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA. Love you all. Peace out!

Azalea was threatened by hackers after entering into a Twitter battle with Banks last December, after the black rapper accused her of “making fun†of serious racial issues.
“You’re poisonous and I feel genuinely sorry for you,†Azalea wrote, leading to a social media storm of unprecedented strength.
Previously, she was angered when Snoop Dogg posted a degrading Instagram picture of a person with pale skin and cornrows and claimed it was “White Chicks 2 starring Iggy†in an obvious jibe about her race.
And then there was Eminem, who ordered her not to “blow that rape whistle†in his “song Vegasâ€, to which she replied that she was bored of “the old men threatening young women entertainment trendâ€.
Oh and the most reason Papa Johns feud at the Grammys. At least it looks like Azalea will still be on Instagram and Facebook…for now.
