Rapper Iggy Azalea quits social media over body-shaming
Iggy Azalea and her boyfriend, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Nick Young, attend a basketball game between UCLA and USC in January.
Rapper Iggy Azalea says she is quitting social media -- at least for now -- after cyber bullying when vacation photographs of her in a bikini circulated, and showed she has cellulite. “I just want to have peace and relaxation time without a perve with long distance lense hiding out taking pictures, everyone deserves peace,” she tweeted, before she said she’s taking a time out because social media is too “negative.” [ABC News]
