Iggy Azalea quits Twitter after ‘cellulite’ bikini pic spawns ‘hatred’ and ‘pettiness’

IGGY Azalea is “taking time away” from social media after a string of feuds and online harassment over her body.

The Fancy rapper said she is done with “pettiness” and “hatred” on the inteet in an epic rant on Twitter, announcing her departure from the site.

“I need to be happy and this is too negative and draining,” Azalea tweeted.

It all came to a head after Azalea was harassed online when unflattering paparazzi photos of her in a bikini were published and she was criticised for her curvy appearance.

She went on to say that from now on her official Twitter account would be managed by her team unless posts are signed off as “IA”.
