Iggy Azalea is taking a sorta break from social media, but says her team will still Tweet from time to time… #eyeroll.
The Australian rapper (who has been at the center of multiple Twitter feuds including spats with Snoop Dogg and Azealia Banks) announced that after getting online shade about her body, she’s taking a step back from social media.
“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,” Iggy said in a series of Tweets. “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.”

And then she made her announcement to her more than 4 million followers.
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.
