This Bizarrely Competitive Twitter Exchange Between Iggy Azalea And Peppa Pig Escalated Alarmingly Fast
July 17 | 2019
Just when you think you've seen it all, 2019 comes at us with yet another news item for the ages.
It should really come as no shock that Iggy Azalea and Peppa Pig got entangled in a bizarre Twitter feud after Peppa announced that she was dropping an album this Friday.
Because of course they did.
<p><strong>The big news was tweeted from Peppa Pig's official Twitter account on Monday afternoon.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">

<p></p><p>Unfortunately, this Friday also happens to be the same day Iggy Azalea is set to drop her sophomore album, <em>In My Defense</em>.</p><p><strong>Azalea was understandably devastated by the prospect of being crushed by a cartoon pig.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
