The "Problem"
rapper returned home to California Wednesday after enjoying a romantic trip with Los Angeles Lakers player Nick Young. The couple happened to
be photographed during their trip, and to Azalea's dismay, her bikini body was
criticized by faceless internet bullies. The musician, 24, expressed her
disappointment in a series of tweets, writing, "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!" said Azalea,
whose North American concert series begins Apr. 14.
Azalea
added, "The Internet is the ugliest reflection of mankind there is."
In recent months, Azalea
has used Twitter to wage war on Papa John's Pizza after an employee
allegedly shared her contact information with a relative. After the rapper
ranted on the social networking site, the company issued a statement to E!
News, saying, "Privacy of our customers and employees is extremely
important to us. Papa John's has taken appropriate disciplinary action with
regard to the employee involved. We are reaching out directly to Ms. Azalea and
hope to resolve this incident and make it right."
On
several occasions, Azalea has used Twitter to defend herself against fellow rapper Azealia Banks. In 2014, Snoop Dogg repeatedly dissed Azalea's appearance
by comparing her to
Marlon Wayans' White Chicks character. The "Drop It
Like It's Hot" rapper later told Azalea that he was "sorry," but the damage was done.
The "Fancy" rapper got the last laugh, though, when she dressed up as the
character for Halloween.
