Iggy Azalea explodes with anger over unauthorized photoshoot of her Steve Madden collaboration

Iggy Azalea has a major problem with Steve Madden’s unauthorized photoshoot of their collaboration and she took it to task on Twitter before deleting the posts.

She then posted photos from the photoshoot she did work on with them and told fans on Instagram that she won’t let Madden “get dragged under the bus” because of their creative differences in that one instance.

Huffington Post saw images from the photoshoot Azalea did not approve of before the Tumblr page it was on went private. The images showed headless modeless and phrases such as "Modern-day Spice Girls," and "Unapologetic, loud and fun.”

Azalea took to Twitter and called the images “gross gross gross,” “God awful” and “disgusting.”

She said she was “livid” because no one told her these images were going to be released, let alone that they “took it upon themselves to create and share without my knowledge.”

In a statement, Steve Madden told the Huffington Post, "This was a lover’s quarrel. We love Iggy and are very excited about our collaboration. When you get two artists working together sometimes there are fireworks. It’s our creative differences that allow us to design an incredible collection and we are looking forward to sharing it with the world!"

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 . That all.
