Wow, this escalated FAST!
In case you were unaware, Iggy Azalea has been working her squeezable butt off to deliver her fans an amazing shoe collaboration with Steve Madden.
And while she’s incredibly proud of the fancy footwear she’s created, she’s NOT happy about some photos of the shoes that were released — without her permission!
Apparently the Steve Madden team came up with an ad campaign themselves, failing to work with Iggy on the creative process. The end result were some pretty tacky — and even inappropriate — photos that the 24-year-old rapper caught wind of!
And when I-G-G-Y is upset about something, she airs all her grievances on Twitter. Which is exactly what she did in this instance.

She tweeted then deleted the following:

Later, she clarified her outrage on Instagram in a caption that accompanied an Iggy-approved pic.
She wrote:
“For the record: I absolutely LOVE these images, they are from the shoot I directed for my Steve Madden campaign. Im incredibly proud of the shoes we’ve made together, as well as these images that I’ve been anxiously waiting to share with you all. What I had a “rant” about on Twitter isn’t in regards to these pictures, it was about another, different set of images i wasn’t a part of creating that I felt weren’t reflective of my vision and direction for the collection. I’m an artist and I’m extremely passionate and emotional and crazy sometimes because I care ALOoOoot about this shit! I love Steve and he gets it! Artists clash sometimes, it doesn’t mean I dislike the brand. I love Steve Madden as an individual and as a company. I have 3 more seasons I’m making with these guys and I’m going to enjoy it. Shit just happens sometimes and you gotta fight for what you believe in! I believe in this collection immensely; that’s why I just wanted it to be perfect. it comes out tomorrow and I hope you guys enjoy it because I put my heart and soul into them! Sorry for the drama! I didn’t mean for it to turn into some big blog situation (as usual) but I’m not gonna sit back and totally let Steve Madden get dragged under the bus because as a whole they’re awesome ppl. I just don’t support neoprene Jesus sandals WITH socks ├░┼╕╦£ΓÇ░. That all.”
Makes sense!
Drama aside, we hope you caught that fact that the collection is being launched tomorrow!
Now THAT’S something to get excited for!!
Check out the images that prompted the Twitter rant, the real campaign images, and screenshots of Iggy’s furious tweets (above)!
