Pro tip for white rappers going through a rough time in their career: don't try and drag other people down with you.
Iggy Azalea hasn't had a great year professionally. Between a canceled tour and a collaboration with Britney Spears that flopped, Azalea backlash is alive and well. And now she's made the mistake of addressing it on Twitter... and throwing her collaborator -- who has been to hell and back -- under the bus in the process.

It started when Iggy responded to a fan about why "Pretty Girls" had no shot at being the song of the summer, throwing in a subtle dig at Britney to boot.
@rhuancesarr its difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately im just featured...— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) June 28, 2015
Iggy went on to say that she thinks the song could have been a hit if it'd had proper promotion, because it "shazamed well" -- and things got worse from there.
@ThePopZone my comment is factual, it applies to any song. I dont have to suck the womans asshole 24/7 to be her friend, do i? bye girls.— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) June 29, 2015
Britney did not respond to Azalea's tweet directly, instead keeping things classy with some light shade -- and reminding the world that unlike some people, she will spend 2015 performing for live audiences.
Can’t wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to... #YouWantAPieceOfMe— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) June 29, 2015
Meanwhile, things aren't getting any better for Miss Iggy. It seems her hair vitamins are the latest casualties of herr 2015 curse.
Woah! its so hot in the delivery trucks that my hair vitamins i ordered are completely melted. i would just drink them but it seems unsafe.— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) June 29, 2015
Stick to tweeting at Papa John's, Iggy.
