Yesterday, rapper Iggy Azalea used her twitter account for good or at least to let off some steam. We're not sure what triggered her twitter rant but she let all those jerky internet trolls have it.
Iggy, 23, is originally from Australia and after a few of her singles went viral in 2011 and 2012, she most recently stepped into the big leagues with her debut studio album The New Classic and hit single "Fancy." We'll post the video for the song below (which is an homage to the 1995 movie Clueless) but be warned: no matter what you think about it, it will get stuck in your head for the rest of your life.
Let's see the tweets.
Just remember while your all at home online cracking jokes about artists etc that Most of you have done NOTHING. NOTHING! With your lives.

Don't flex someone else's achievements. So many of you Internet kids quote the feats of others as if they were your own.

And just to clarify for anyone who didn't understand that last statement goes out to people who bully others...

Someone who's music you love doing great should never be an excuse to be awful to others. That's my point I suppose.

I just find it really disgusting.

Don't be cruel to one another. And learn to understand how much work it takes to achieve anything in life.

Success should be celebrated and not used as an excuse to be awful to others, especially when it's not even your own. That was my point.

It was a positive but aggressive point. Lol. Anyway it's my mans bday and I'm outtttt!

So while we aren't sure what triggered this rant (perhaps she's just been thinking about it for a while), it seems to be directed to twitter fandoms. Passionate fans, particularly fans of Justin Bieber or groups like One Direction, use twitter to join together and be heard for better or for worse. Anymore rants like this one and she may start an all our war.
In case you haven't heard the song "Fancy" and you were born before 1990 (that's when Iggy was born), you might not understand the song. She recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel to help translate some of the lyrics.
Jimmy Fallon also used the song in the lip-sync battle he lost to Emma Stone.
