Is it “Pretty Girls” or petty girls? Iggy Azalea made her big return to Twitter to first set rumors straight about Britney Spears and their single “Pretty Girls,” and then to diss the media who want to get “paid.” The “Fancy” singer took a hiatus from Twitter after dealing with trolls, but said she wanted to connect with her fans and answer some questions. Well, answering fan questions soon turned into a rant.

It's not the first time Azalea has been difficult. The Australian star was apparently hard to work with on the set of "Pretty Girls." "'Pretty Girls' was Britney's song and video but Iggy reportedly totally took it over as if it was hers. Iggy ordered everyone -- including Britney -- around as if she was directing the video,” one source told Us Weekly. "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,” another person added.

Azalea then unleashed a tirade Tuesday:

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! ^.^"

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.

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.

Welcome back to Twitter, Iggy.

Even though Azalea doesn’t think she did anything wrong, it seemed like she lashed out at Spears for their song not doing well on the charts. While the Australian rapper canceled her tour, the “Work B----“ singer is busy with her Las Vegas show.

“It’s difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc.,” Azalea wrote, in a tweet that has now been deleted. “Unfortunately I’m just featured…” It seems suspect that she doesn’t think she did anything wrong, but the tweet was deleted.

Though Spears didn’t directly respond to her, it seemed like she got a dig in with her hashtag. “Can’t wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to... #YouWantAPieceOfMe,” she said.
