Much has been made of Iggy’s online comment regarding their duet “Pretty Girls,” and how the two  artists allegedly threw shade at one another. But on Tuesday Iggy said she is “really saddened” that the media is “trying to create a ‘beef'” between her and Britney.

She tweeted, “We remain friends and i haven’t said anything negative at all about her. Does wishing we had promoted a single more make me the bad guy?”

“i feel like the media wants women in music to get out and mud wrestle each other,” the Australian rapper continued. “As a woman i take great offense. Women in the media should be able to have a grown up and subjective opinion without it being anything more than that. its disappointing. No one is throwing ‘shade’ or ‘shots’ on either side of the table. The girl is my friend and i support her 100%.”

Iggy concluded, “i feel like the press just wants to see girls be overtly sexual to one another, and have no real opinion other than ‘i love it!’ Im over it. Women in music are not the same as a teen drama. Stop making us all out to be, we are business women & artists. Not mean girls.”

Last weekend, Iggy responded to a fan to explain why “Pretty Girls” wasn’t a hit. “Its difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc,” she wrote. “unfortunately I’m just featured….”

The comment was perceived by some as a dis directed at Britney. For her part, Brit tweeted, “Can’t wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to… #YouWantAPieceOfMe,” in what may or may not have been a reference to Iggy cancelling her tour.
